I will write it here only 1 time and will also not more discuss it.

As highfiveee said: In past it was always overbuff or over nerf.
So this time we went for small steps. Don't forget the cd on 100 sec before you can call another one it.
Did you played games already on the new version? or just saw the patchnotes and complain.

OP units remain OP whatever their price is, is also a lesson learnt from the past - but hey you probably forget about that one. How 280mp / 100s cd will prevent them to be called until reaching critical mass is a mystery to me.
Remember why KT, Tiger, IS, ISU etc... are locked to 1 active per player? If players were able to get on a regular basis 2 tigers per players on the battlefield, how will it be difficult to get 3 or 4 JLIs...

But in my opinion the fact that the balance team purposely didn't touch their stats, even a little bit like for the AE shows a big positive bias over OKW.
We're talking about a unit that was fine before - not underwhelming on its own other than being in a underwhelming doctrine, where reducing their CP requirement would have been probably enough to make them more appealing (you know the same way Pathfinders are 10x more appealing today without touching their stats), getting that famous 3xbuff with crazy synergies in their new doctrine.
And you're answer is "oh we will go step by step to downgrade their performance, we don't want to overnerf them the way we overbuffed them in first hand. So let's keep them overbuffed, a bit less that before but still, next patch in in 2 months thxbye."

Jackson has HVAP, it should the used to face off up armored units, atm its more of a bonus than a requirement as the stock pen is pretty decent. Also flanking with the sherman is plenty reasonable, but despite the massive drop in heavies rear armour people only want to be able to frontally fuck everything. Heavy armour should encourage the enemy to do something different but weither you are facing a light car to a super heavy the counters are the exact same. There is no difference in a p4 and a KT in how you approach fighting it, which is problematic. Yes, the single TD design is not a great one and admitting that and trying to find a solution is a better approach than it's all we can do so this is the way it has to be" and pretending it's not a problem.

So one faction should be completely reliant on munition to have a chance late game? Doesn't make sens. No more munition then surrender?

Thoughts? Other suggestions?

Balance issues started when OKW was given extra 100 manpower at start. Remove it and OKW / USF matchup would probably be more balanced. USF issue isn't the first engagement but that OKW will pump 4 volks faster than you do and roll over you in a blob to your cutoff when the map allows it.

You can't touch riflemen cost or veterancy because USF is like Brit, they don't have stock elite infantry such as Pzgrenadier/Penal/Obers, so their base infantry need to have such veterancy to compete with them to a certain extend. Not saying they need to beat them and be equal but if you reduce their vet, USF late game will go back to the black hole here it was for ages.

It shoot planes way faster than any other AA weapon, it can shoot down both loiter planes of stuka loiter at first pass before they even fire a single shot. That is how I define superior.
(the rest you mention is simply irrelevant)

Independently than if it does it better than other AA, is it good or bad?

Whuut? its not too good ... its the only thing u got when u go T3 and u want AI....BECAUSE Ostwind sucks!

U play Axis and the enemy is spamming/blobbing inf u have 2 Lategame Tanks P4 and Brum....
the Whole T3 is messed up because of the Allied TDplay. The stug especially ...

Ost suffers also from the fact, that the allied Inf At options are much better. The Ostwind as an AI Unit faces 6 Man groups with with double Zooks/Ptrd.

It must make more dmg against Inf too actualy stop something... And maybe a ability that give u AP rounds against LV, something like the MG42 stuff

That's pretty much the same for all factions. Or the Ostwind becomes a monster that overshadow the Pz4, or you'll always pickup the Pz4 first for its versatility even if it deal less damage to infantry.
