What about Königsmine?

Can you mod a mine to have damage and AoE of B4 or Railway strike?

About the OKW minesweeper, do you have to equip it to get faster repair or just upgrading it?

Hm. Congrats if you can make that work, especially since its obviously original/non meta, but I seriously doubt you'll beat a good player like that - at least not more than once. I believe there is a reason you don't see that sort of approach in high level play. Anyways, we'll agree to disagree.

Actually, the loiter Stuka isnt just borderline op IMO, but still, this just does not work barring insane RNG. I've seen really good players try this, and it failed every time.
The reason is really just the call-in meta. In fact, every OH non-doc centered strat is virtually doomed to fail against both Soviet and US metaplay. If I for one see ambush camo I just switch to a more conservative playstyle, get some indirect fire up and prepare for the long game, for which you have much better tools both as US and Sovs - after all, no Tiger, no Ele. Even with a more than solid early to midgame, OH will get one measly PIV out at about 8cp with huge tech/opportunity costs - a unit that is superceded across the board by the no tech 9/10 cp Easy-8/T34-85 and literally nullified by the Jackson/IS-2. As soon as the Soviet/US player has his major tech/call-ins out, he trades much more cost-efficiently and will just grind OH down; just dont go balls deep and drive on Tellers, and OH will be unable to ever actually kill your armour.
