I just found this on Reddit, i guess a change of mood is not bad.



Praise it.

This doctrine is still one of the best OKW has, tbh.

Sturmpios were filth for a unit to have at the 0:00 mark. Much like how assgrens and then assgineers have had to get toned down in firepower and shocks went to CP-many, because relic never learns that giving one army super T0 early game infantry utterly breaks the game. There was a time it was needed to prop up OKW early game, but that is LONG gone now they have 100% muni and better, cheaper volks and superduperturbokubel.

As for the rest?
-The MG-34 was out-preforming the MG-42 even though it's cheap as chips. That one needed to happen.
-LMG-34's took a hit because ALL LMG's took a hit. That's not an OKW specific nerf, it's a change to overall game design.

Wrong.
They were nerfed within 24 hrs of release and then a new doct that i personally bought on day 1 was useless for some months after release.

September 24th, 2013 they were released,

Updates September 26th, 2013:
Assault Grenadiers

- Dispatch Cost from 280 manpower to 200 manpower and 50 munitions
- Reinforcement and population cost remain the same as prior
This change is to give a temporary gate to the deployment of these units as players are finding it very difficult to deal with them at the start. The munition cost will gate the unit by a few minutes as well as make deploying these units limit the players means to get other munitions upgrades such as Panzerschrecks on the Mechanized Assault Group or a flame halftrack.

I never got the ''Kubel was useless before'' rhetoric. It was a perfectly viable unit that had strengths and weaknesses, like any MG in the game. I used them to great effect in combination with Sturms pre-patch. It tended to die by the 10 minute mark, but most MGs save the vetted MG42 become less useful by that point anyway.

Post-patch, however, it's been overbuffed into ''pay 240 MP to dominate early game unless opponent out-microes you or builds very specific counters and rolls the dice''. My games against OKW have become much more difficult between them and the buffed Sturms, and my games as OKW are often facerolls as I a-move my Kebels and pound most Allied openings to dust. If a Soviet goes T1, I laugh at his face, bust out the AA HT to which he has no counter whatsoever and it's often gg right there. Against USF it's even easier, until the M20 comes out the Kubel has pretty much free reign as the Volks go around and cap the map. And since the US player could not win the early game, the one point in the match where he's supposed to be at an advantage, even if he destroys the Kubel and comes back I usually have a Puma, HT, and/or elite infantry by then.

I feel the unit plugs the OKW's weaknesses too well. OKW is supposed to struggle early game, since their late game is so boss. But between the reliable Volks, powerful Sturms and the now monster Kubel, they really don't have any gaps in their early game at all, and that's without having to commit to any building/doctrine like the Soviets are forced to do. Playing as them feels significantly easier than playing as any other faction, Ostheer included.
