Also, Russian tier buildings and the truck tiers for OKW aren't the same, and thus you have to treat them differently. Russians don't have any reduced income AND they can build petrol caches so petrol isn't a problem for them.
lets just think for a minute here. You place your Flak HQ down on Faymonville South spawn fuel. meaning its 100% locked down your fuel for 80-90% of the match. Now, you build 2 Obers and send them both to the other fuel point. Now, you essentially have 2 fuel points, that are guarded by duel Obers, invisible death machines that melt cons, rifles and shocks. Thats actually better than having any amount of caches
the flak HQ can't kill tanks, so I expect it to stop infantry rushes which is what it does.
Wrong again. 1 Sherman will struggle to kill it solo, as we have seen demonstrated, add in 1 out of your 6-7 Shreked volks and the Sherman will be killed by the HQ 10/10 times. You have to 100% focus it down, ignoring Obers and Volks and MG's, which is near impossible as USF, or as Soviets you need to build or position AT guns to kill it, and even then Obers can just wipe crewman at the speed of sound.You talk as if it does no damage at all
The flak HQ is perfectly balanced, and the only people who disagree are the same people who whined when they couldn't use two rifle squads to walk up to the flak truck and destroy it with bazooka's.
you have not played a single game as the Allied factions, and you make this statement.......
