Basically ur saying abandon this faction for now.However you didn't say anything about the central argument.With relative insignificant utility of vet 5 in competitive games and toning down of virtually every 'powerful' unit okw had at release how are these heavy penalties still justified?

Looking at this faction which is now spamming Leig's every game because basically its useless at everything else,we should look back at how it got here.
The basic weakness of this faction are crippling munition and fuel penalties.The design feature of this faction stated that this disadvantage would be compensated by 2 things -
1]Extremely powerful Units
2] 5-star veterancy

Now lets look at number 1 and the transformation of some of these once powerful units.

1.Sturmpio - Nerfed (mainly its range) .(subsequently improved a little,but is being proven again and again as incapable of saving volks from rifles/shocks/brits blobs).

2.Stuka Zu fuss - Nerfed

3.Obersoldaten - Nerfed into uselessness

4.King Tiger - Nerfed into relative non-use

Now coming to point 2 -
How many times do we see units with vet 4 and vet 5 except for volks in competitive games.Rarely.The veterancy costs are too high.The one unit that regularly could reach these vet levels (volks)had its veterancy effects nerfed.So basically vet 5 is more impressive on paper than in-game.

With its 2 main 'strengths' neutered while still being burdened by resource penalty the main premise of this faction no longer applies,as it has no tangible 'strengths' left to cover for its glaring weakness.Which is what is the cause of the current sate of faction)especially after upcoming leig crutch removal)

Maybe its time to convert the broken faction into a regular faction thats enjoyable to play.Eliminate the whole 'theme' thing that has failed.

Remove the whole vet 5 thing.Largely useless in competitive games.
Remove resource penalties.
Only problems to this would be too fast panther and king tiger.So -
Gate panther unlock in flak truck beyond another upgrade.
And Restrict King tiger to 1.While King tiger on field fuel penalty is back(66% fuel income).
Make small teching cost changes if necessary.
The inability to build caches can be kept as a sop to theme.

And you will have a competitive and enjoyable faction.

All these people saying OH has advantage plz reveal how to make ur infnatry survive lategame infantry vs rifles and IS,its ridiculously one sided.

T4 price needs fix.
Brummbarr needs buff.

Like i said all allied fanboys are silent on what infantry you build as wehrmacht to counter this unstoppable usf/ukf lategame horde.Just 1 sided massacre.
