Hi

A lot of players say that ostheer tech is too expensive/slow. I think the only issue is how heavy tank call ins are accessible too early. The CP cost of all heavy tank call ins should be increased by 2-3 CP.

It's easy to get 12 CP by 20 mins and a heavy tank. It should be at least 25-30 mins, since T4 ostheer tanks can only arrive at around 25 mins.

As Ostheer against Soviets the only way to counter soviet isu rush is either a p4+panther, OR rush to an elephant (imo tigers aren't good against isu). It takes 25 mins minimum to get a panther+P4. It's unreasonable that an isu can come 5 mins earlier than this due to low CP cost, especially when the isu +support can negate AT guns/inf effectively. It makes teching for ostheer unappealing. Same thing is true for soviets who tech against ostheer who rush heavy tanks.

I think most players would agree that heavy tanks shouldn't be so early (20 mins). A 3 CP delay will make teching players have enough time to get counters. It will also make it more risky to stall for heavies and less reliable (atm it's too viable). Early tanks like P4 should be given more time to push around them.

These changes would be more effective and fair to all factions to fix 'call in' dependence in eastern front factions, rather than changing tech costs or making heavies require tech.

The DPS OR suppression should be nerfed a little bit, but not both at the same time. It's a good weapons teams, and suggestions like 4 man squads makes it too vulnerable to infantry guns and mortars.

The suppression is too quick. If the suppression were to stay the same, it should be less punishing for suppressed units being pinned by reducing the DPS, so you can allow for opponents to counter and flank.

Soviets need a redesign. A lot of the Soviet strats aren't combined arms, and are just cheese.

Weapon teams (maxims, snipers+guards, w/e), mainly maxims, act as "core attacking units" with conscripts being "secondary/support" infantry, which should be changed around.

The only one going full retard here is you.

You're so deeply stuck to your delusions that you refuse to see and hear anything you do not want to see or hear.

Isn't that you you do in all threads? Plus, disagree with as a much people's opinions as possible across the board (hence the 1600 + posts).


Anyway, it's asymmetric balance. The US halftrack maybe comes a min too early as paks arrive too late, but mg42s with incens/panzer fausts can hold the initial rush.

Rear echelon "volley" is definitely a strong ability that takes tactics from ostheer to work around/avoid. Mg42 can contain them, just dont let multiple grens/pios flank/get close to them especially if they are garrisoned.

Once ostheer 'snow balls' to a decent and sizable army (several grens with some lmgs, 2 mgs, a mortar, pak, etc) they can handle the US really well.
