They should have a timer. It's intended as a AoE Blocker, not as a weapon to throw at every possible infantry engagement.

1: Flames

A) Flame grenades are far too effective (...)

Considering the mechanics of the game, as far as I understand, flames are the tool of choice for MG dislodgment. Also, the developers want to avoid the situation that could lead to a invincible hut with a MG dominating a large area of map. This is particularly troublesome if you want to attack a different area of the map that is poorly guarded, and a parked MG can bring frustrating game issues. Hence, I think flames are OK as are.

2: Stun Grenade
(...)
Solution - Remove the damage inflicted by the grenade.

I don't know its cost right now. I see it as a buying time grenade or a go-to-your-base-now grenade. I could agree with this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3: OKW Flak HT

(...)

A lot of people give some suggestions about the Flak HQ. I don't think that this is an issue.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4: OKW Base defenses

(...)

Solution - Remove the chance to pen vehicles, keep the AI but completely remove vehicle damage.

Back when OKW had reduced resources, I'd be against this, but now, I think that would be OK. BUT, this change possibly could change the chances of downing allies' airplanes. Could become a new balance issue.

5: Axis off maps

(...)

Not an issue on my POV.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6: LeIG

(...)

Solution - Reduce the accuracy of the LeIG dramatically at range or simply, bring the range in line with other mortars

I could think about giving it the same range as other mortars, but that's it. Also, the change should happen to Pack Howie as well.

7: Bofors Garrison Ability

(...)

Not an issue on my POV

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8: Rocket Artillery Units

(...)

Solution - All Rocket Artillery should serve as a 'Get out of this area' weapon (...)

This is a definition issue. All rocket artillery is, actually, a Johnnie Walker Scotch propaganda - "Keep Walking". You should not be static by the time this type of weapon comes around. And yes, this is hard, and should be that way - the longer the game, the harder it gets.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9: OKW Base Trucks

(...)

Solution - Just as the trucks can be damaged during setup and that is then applied to the building, do the same for the truck and apply any damage caused by it to transfer to the building/setup stage.

Could agree with this

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10: AT Squad upgrades

(...)

I use racketens all the time, they are very good. Also, mines. No circle strafe with mines.

Anyway, I can't agree with anything here. The only thing that I noticed recently is that the schreks kinda snipe a little too much infantry for my taste, but that's it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11: Scavange

(...)

Not an issue in my POV.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12: Kubel

(...)

I'd agree that the Kubel got a little irritating. I can't understand the 15% cap bonus, which seems injury added to the insult.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13: King Tiger

(...)

Not an issue in my POV

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14: UKF Heavies

(...)

Disagree

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15: Blobbing

(...)

I don't think blobbing is an issue. It has strengths and limitations, and happens in pratically every computer game conceived by man. Also, people did blob a lot in real life, or else we wouldn't see so many monuments about lifes lost during WW1, just to pick one example. Problem is, learning to counter a blob is a little more tricky... But doable.
