Wow. Didn't expect them to be so subtle. If you don't look at the image properly you might miss they're there entirely.

It costs 182 fuel, 66 for the truck and 116 for the puma. Numbers adjusted for reduced fuel income.

- I thought we were over this entire "adjusted fuel income" thing. If Relic wanted for OKW vehicles to be effective based on their adjusted fuel cost, then what is the point of fuel penalty in the first place? If that was the case, an OKW Panther would be 50% better than the equally priced Ostheer Panther. It isn't. Case closed.

- When you factor in salvage, resource conversion and lowest teching in the game, OKW's fuel penalty isn't really that severe. It just serves to reduce the number of armoured units hitting the field.

- Why would you include the teching price in the cost effectiveness of a single unit? In what universe does that make sense? A T34 costs 280 fuel by that logic - it better be equal to a Tiger then!

- Just to nitpick. It's 60, not 66 adjusted fuel cost for the truck.

And if I'm unhappy about it - I'm "entitled"? LOL

PingPing: "Relic's patch locked the content I paid for, I LITERALLY CANNOT PLAY THE GAME until I pay to unlock what I already paid for."

Reality: "Some vague new strings were released outlining something we know jack shit about."

A Panther can usually go chasing Allied vehicles to finish them off. Because it is not up against Schrecks, and unless it grossly overstretches, even eating an AT grenade to the face will see it reverse and live since it reliably bounces most frontal shots. Whereas against OKW, if you dare step with your armour one meter in front of your infantry screen, it's Schreck party time baby !

I also like how people suggest the use of BAR blob against OKW blob. First of all it does not work (add a squad of Obers or two, an MG34, a PzII, or a Stuka to the mix), and second of all even if it did, if I wanted to play Blob of Heroes I would have purchased that.

I'm not saying you defeat OKW blob with that, but you can resist to it a period of time and maybe win the game.

Why should the US forces be the ones RESISTING and somehow hoping to win while doing so? Why are there no threads on the forums about how OKW must RESIST the US armoured attacks and somehow hope to win while doing so?

Furthermore, how does one "win" exactly in this manner? This is not Age of Empires, there is no "Wonder" building you can build to win while turtling. You have to fight OKW on the field to control VPs.

They originally planned timed commanders - premium commanders would drop much more frequently than now but you would be able to craft extra bulletins, skins and commanders into "time" thus extending the life of the drops you chose. They canned this, although on the face of it it does sound like a fair model. Needless to say, purchased premium stuff would not be on a timer. I don't see why the new supply system would be any worse than that idea though. There are ability packs for PURCHASE - they would never dare add durability and/or expiration to purchased stuff, it would be suicide.

We are theorycrafting too much about durability without knowing the first thing about the numbers involved. It's like, imagine Guards Infantry didn't exist and they announced it right now. They get antitank weapons, anti-infantry grenade, LMG upgrade, AND can button - these forums would erupt in flames and cries of imba...

... which is why they are dominating the meta at the moment amirite?
