Profile of Esxile

OKW faction has been design around high cost / high value units like Obers (stock), Fall/Jaeg (doctrinal) + Panzerfusillers (doctrinal).
Problem is OKW doesn't really need them to stay competitive, you can spam Volks + raken + ISG until getting your heavies and win the game.

I remember someone saying at the beginning Volks reinforcement cost was design to increase with their veterancy. It was probably not manageable.

Im not saying it needs to be go to 100% of the time im saying it needs to be worth it to tank your eco.
And a vet 3 tiger is not worth tanking your eco.

Remove the eco penalty and add a 230 fuel cost to it hell make it 280 its fine then. Its a real choice then commander wise not straight worse then spearhead.

Would make the commander useless as hell (note that I'm not against).

1) You need fuel in quantity if you decide to spam Vet3 squad fast in the game. Which delay far far away your Potential TA costing fuel
2) You need fuel in quantity if you decide to go T3 Spam (Ostwind/Stug/Pz4) to prepare the coming of your TA.
3) You need fuel in quantity if you decide to do a mix Vetup/T3 (vetup 1 mg + 1 mortar and use the advantage to bleed your opponent and rush T3)
Conclusion: to pop your super TA, you keep all your fuel, don't vetup, don't build any vehicle, just to wait the possibility to unlock it. Not to say 80% of the time you have already lost before.

It does because of server delay.

Shreck squad could simply walk slower to make shreck blob useless vs any vehicle.

You bring all the arguments and "proofs" but you say nothing about brits. You give me examples from Soviet and USF armies when 90% of allied players are playing the brits. And in 2v2s if not both players are brits, one is for sure. Early game axis will be kept at bay and pinned down with constant atacks without being capable to retake teritorry due to british emplacements then in lategame it will be totally obliterated by churchills. Nobody complicates his life with other british tanks. Why would they do so, as long as churchill = map dominance?
In a game that puts accent on MICRO, british have what? Emplacements. So much micro for those. Oh, and indestructible emplacements too. It's almost like build and forget.

In my lates 2v2 game last night, do you know what it took to win against 2 brits in terms of armor? 2 KTs, one jagdpanzer, one Tiger 3 stugs and one ostwind. All in the same time on the map. Just because they had some churchills. 'Da fuq? We brought them at 4 tickets and we almost lost it, too. We won by chance, stealling VP. I am 100% positive that if it was to calculate the amount of resources spent by each side to build that kind of army, Axis costs would make your eyes jump from their places. Not Allied case, of course.

Don't tell me Brit dominate you early to mid game. You almost won till they took back Vps and you had to use your late game unit to close the deal. Whaoooou! incredible, play more double USF or Sov/USF and you'll see what you experienced last game isn't unusual.

You are getting mad because you can't win easily as before? Bear with it. You don't want to play vs brit anymore, switch Sov or USF with your mate. Problem is you'll experience the exact same situation you described more than often, too bad.

Oh really? I dunno mate, but you can be not even half as cockie with Tiger/KT as you can do it with churchill, crocodile or not. Brainlessly walk trhough opponent's line and whipe everything because nothing can really touch it except PAK 43, wow, yeah, I have the counter, I should only play with that toy isn't it?
While british player can move around the map unpunnished his churchill due to the Huuuuge health quantity I have to constantly shit my pants with my Tiger and never let him without some pak 40 bodyguards or I will lose it in no time.



Tell that to people who don't use stugs. I adapted and use them but they are far from enough. One stug plus 2 pak40s cannot hold against one single churchill. What are we talking about?



Not saying it's not counterable. Everything is. What it does it's OP.




I wish you good luck in reaching Jagdiger and winning with. Pro tip: if you wanna cost effectiveness and efficiency with OKW against heavy armor, there is but one solution: PAK 43. And thanks for condemning me to play with just one doctrine, when the actual british meta in multiplayer is like: bofors+bofors+churchill+ (maybe) another churchill = easy victory.




Give it even bigger range, supression, I couldn't care less but make it more fragile and not instawiping infantry ffs.

I have stop many Churchill with 2 stugs + Pak in support, TWP is appreciable in the operation so you must vet them fast. Now killing a Churchill is another matter, but it is exactly the same principle than with KT/TA, you keep them heavily damaged far from the front line until you get the opportunity to kill them.
And a Churchill that move freely on the map is a churchill that didn't encounter a mine and I want to see your replay 2 stugs + 2 Paks not holding a single Churchill.

Before Brit, Axis had the best overall heavy tanks and I didn't remember people crying so loudly because of this balance design . Sov have their IS2 and USF only complain was to at least have one equivalent to the Tiger.
Now the balance design is switch and Allied have access to better heavy armor with Brit, while Axis have better early and mid options. So far, the only faction left behind is USF which still have no late game units, and lost almost all its early advantage.

Now Playing vs or with brit is boring actually because of the spam emplacement meta. Brit is what made me stop playing vcoh in 2vs2 or above. It will probably be the same for coh2.
