Answering the real topic:

M36 Jackson, weaknesses: AT infantry and AT guns, where it both can't do a single shit against. Case closed.

Against the inf you get an MG or two, case closed again.

It seems like you have a problem fighting combined arms, which is the way the game should be played. And in addition you seem to like whining.

I just wanted to address your question about why no appeared to care when yourself and others have experienced lag.

If you own CS:GO load it up and join a east coast US server, see how you and your friend ping to that, then ping the battle-servers and see if there is any difference. I can tell you I get roughly 80-110ms, the same I ping to the Relic battle-servers,

80-110 is IMO okay for an RTS game like CoH2. Quick reaction games like LoL or CS are unplayable with such a latency.
I also noticed in the last days that it takes about 1-1.5 seconds in order to react which is crucial when dodging nates or retreating. This is weird as CoH2 has always been the game to play for me while downloading stuff as it didn't need a very fast connection at all.
But even when downloading on full speed, a reaction of 0,5-0,7 seconds was the worst experience I faced.

Maybe we need some optimism here so I'm gonna say that I haven't had as much fun with okw as I have now after patch for a long time.

I think most people are simply used to go Mechanized and rush a Luchs.
But for me that always played Medic HQ, this patch is a blessing.

If somebody is interested, here is my buildorder:

1. Volks
2. Volks
3. Volks
4. Volks (I noticed that you absolutely need 4 squads as with 3 you're getting busted against allied inf hordes)
5. Get a sWS truck (If you get every Volks squad the second you reach 250MP, you should be able to cue the sWS before the last Volks is even finished)
6. Medic HQ in base or VERY defensive
7. Raketenwerfer
8. Flak HT (This is the most important unit in the whole build)

- After the Flak research the medic upgrade. Now there is a time window where you have to play aggressively with your Flak (that means moving a lot). ALWAYS keep at least 1 (better 2) Volks nereby to Faust anything that is coming close. Also your sturms need to be close as well to repair any shot the HT eats. Keep the Raketen behind the HT and place mines if you have the mun.

9. LeIG to counter support weapons if there are any and to harass
10. (OPTIONAL) MG in a building to prevent flanks (This is usually possible as you are floating a lot of MP)
11. Get the 2nd sWS Truck
12. Build a defensive Flak HQ near your MG in the building or/and the cutoff point
13. Wait for the JP4.

Important key tactics in this build are to always keep your Flak HT moving once enemy troops are pinned/suppressed. You can't overextend but you have to keep the majority of VPs at all times as this build is rather defensive compared to what allies could do. The HT can eat at least 4 light tank shots but only 2 AT gun hits before it dies. So once you see an AT gun shooting at you, immediately smoke and retreat to a defensive position where you wait for the enemy to come while the HT gets repaired (after about 5 seconds in repair, it will survive another AT gun shot again).

What you have to do to win is to not let the light tank come close your Flak HT. That is why fausts are so great. A fausted T70 has to fall back immediately because of your Raketenwerfer and also the Flak itself which can be really harmful to light vehicles as well.

Any tanks coming will face your JP4. You do not need an AI tank, you have your flak and 4 Volks squads. It is not about wiping every enemy unit but just to suppress them and make them retreat. Once the enemy falls back you use your Volks to cap everything that is possible.

I am the 1st to agree with you on all Mortar and artillery getting nerfed. It ruins the game in so many ways. But OKW can make anti-air out of the Med truck. And I think the teir 4 truck has an anti-air ability that was added. Still feels bad playing as OKW and getting rekt from no skill one button win tactics.

Post patch, most artillery feels way less harmful than before in my opinion. If you place your OKW truck so aggressive that it can be destroyed by indirect fire without the enemy having to push then it is your own fault. I usually place my Medic HQ in my base (in 1v1) and the Flak HQ at the fuel/cutoff to defend it.

The Flak HQ didn't get an "extra anti air ability" - The ability to target airplane is now just toggable with a 30 seconds cooldown. In this time, the flak WILL NOT shoot at infantry. So it is now either/or and not, shoot down the planes and then immediately fire at inf again.

I am waving my finger at Relic and the balance team. Next patch you better fix that shit or were gonna RIOT!!!

No, we're not.

its funny that the faction...the brits...with the best defence abilitys and teamweapons ...have also mostly the best anti defence tools and abilitys..

it means they can defence very good in teamgames AND destroy the defence from the enemy effectivly

I honestly don't give a damn about your posts because every single one of them is just a stupid biased Axis fanboy rant. You're rank is far beyond 1.000 and still your personating as the balance guru in person: https://www.coh2.org/ladders/playercard/viewBoard/10/steamid/76561198079087631

L2P or learn to give constructive feedback. But reading "huhuhu I can't win easily while playing Axis" is getting extremely annoying because you want to turn every single CoH2.org thread into this fanboy bullshit.

tbh I am fine with these changes (though I play a lot of OKW, so my opinion might be a bit biased).

It is IMO fine, because before you were screwed as OKW when playing against house camping with MGs. Semoisky northern house vs brits = gg. One MG can deny the complete south side without any possibility to counter it while the rest of the army defends left and you won't get a fuel point.

Now it still is hard but if you manage to throw that nade, you can come back.
