They shouldn't start out with such a good unit given they no longer suffer income penalties.
-Strongest mine in game (non-doctrinal).
-Barbed wire that can't be crushed by light vehicles.
-Great firepower.
-Vet stun grenades.
-medic supplies.
Made sense in the old OKW, not like this.
1.I believe the OKW mine is the same as the SU mine(stat and cost-wise).
2.They changed it to regular barbed wire, it just looks the same as before
3.Only at mid range.
4.Yeah, they are arguably the second best grenades in the game(Commandos grenade/mini satchel is boss).
5.I rarely if ever see this used, kinda a forgotten/overlooked ability.
Things to consider though, unit is 300MP and 30-32MP to reinforce. This unit is the only decent combat unit for OKW until late game, expensive Obers(non-doc).
