Unit cost me more matches than any other...came in,in many cases as ostheer couldn't do anything after a while as they creep-OKW atleast has jagdtiger as counter...after nerf they took away both pak 43 and elefant for ostheer....just ridiculous.Basically i consider every ISU user as cheap noob,even if they win its zero credit.ZERO.

T34/76s don't scale very well late game. I make them everytime, but as conscripts are now useless and grens are spammed in each game, the disproportion in ATnades/Faust makes middle tanks a micro intensive nuisance, with 5 o 6 gren squads swarming the map, volks with schrecks, ATguns, etc

Even if the game is going my way, I never do more than 2 T34/76, just for supporting ATguns and occasionally flanking Stukas,and then start saving fuel for the ISU-152

When u go t-34 spam its a gambit,u should spam t-34s when u have achieved an early game fuel advantage as the Op stated instead of waiting for call-ins.Spam -once u reach a critical mass of 3..start hit and run all over the map.Don't try to charge the volks blob.This is a very good strategy for allies that can finish the game mid game.Otherwise ISU/IS-2 with jacksons are best bet lategame.The is-2 is a very good tank lategame because its armor is insane.Jacksons are weak under 2.Once u get 2-3 jacksons they become very fearful.

Many games i see allied players not pushing enough even with fuel advantage.They prefer the old fashioned zis-maxim crawl.The american blob overextends itself and takes losses.T-34s get seperated and taken out by paks or volks shrecks.But in games where we had to face shermans and t-34s at a steady rate(later replacing losses with call ins)we were in quite a bit of trouble..as the OKW partners can't keep up in teh armorspam race and will have no armor tillpanther/jagd and ost players are left with pz 4s at a numerical disadvanatge.They rely on close co-operation with the volks blob or pak to survive.Here allied players often don't coordinate.

145 is fair 160 is waaay overpriced.Or keep it 135,pz 4 115-120,panther 155-160.Fix call ins problem.

Here is the root of the problem with call-in cost effectiveness:

Once you have the cps, you can get your 1st (and every following) easy8 for, if i remember right, 350mp/135f. Meanwhile, to get your 1st p4, you must spend 400mp/100f to tech, and build a 160mp/25f building, and then 350/125f for the p4.

So, the 1st P4 costs 910mp/250f! What would justify that kind of investment? What are we getting for that extra 560mp/115f? Does the p4 come out significantly earlier than 9cp? No, certainly not 560/115 worth earlier. Is the access to stugs, ostwinds, the flame upgrade to HT, worth 560mp/115f ? No. Is the p4's performance worth the extra 560mp/115f? Fuck No.

In fact, your 1st p4 costs nearly as much as 2 easy8s. So lets consider the price differences of 2 easy8s compared to 2 p4s:
2x easy8: 700mp/270f
2x p4: 1260mp/375f (down to 630/187 each)

This is exactly why most ostheer players dont bother teching to t3, just bank that 910mp/250f, and spend it on a tiger...which, by comparison, is much more worth the cost.


My suggested solution: make the cooldown on call-in tanks like 5-7minutes. That way, all the investment cost of teching/buildings gets some inherent value - the ability to build tanks as soon as you have the resources (instead of being limited by the cooldown).

5-7 minutes mean nothing to that cost difference.

Single katyusha is still good vs OKW.
