I love it but against Mechanized with the Stug E I tend to keep armored Slotted to smack the Stug E like the little bitch it is. M15 delays this.

When you build the lieutenant you should always unlock zooks couple of minutes later. If you go M20, always replace its crew with a RE one so you have a zook squad. Now I know stugE can easily kill any of your squads, that's a risk to asses every time.

It is really map dependent but going 2 or 3 RE can make you overwhelming him. Use the RE as scouting and capping squad and building holder while you use your rifles to flank.

2 or 3 RE start let you go easily to any commanders. its a trade-off for pushing power to capping power.
2 RE start with a bunker in a strategic location to hold until you get enough force to push.
3 RE start, no bunker but building holder in a strategic position.
4 RE start to Rifle commander performs well on many maps. It is really effective in term of manpower management but I wouldn't do 4 RE start with any other commander.

Remember that Ostheer need to keep his pio near to his MG to keep it effective, which mean for him less capping power or to replace a grenadier squad by a pio one.

Cons: more than 2 RE start make you really vulnerable to Grenadier spam. (just talking about early game)

Fairly simple fix for this. Make officer a separate purchase from tech, and make the OKW heal's truck need an upgrade for medics and repairs truck need an upgrade for the repairs.

Not much you would do with the Schwer, as you would need to add a new model to remove the flak cannon.

Oh yes, can't wait for a T1 100mp 10/20 fuel and super faster M20/halftrack push!! If your remove the lieutnant/captain, you also remove its cost

ACE concept for Axis tank is just a lol idea, what's an ACE tank that is by fact better than all its counter part during 2 years, Sherman and T34.
Are you an ACE because you shot many tanks from 2400 meters to 700 meters with no fear to be destroyed yourself.

It is like being considered as an ACE because you kill many people with any modern semi-auto rifle with scope + full kevlar armor vs naked people with glock.

I can understand the concept of ACE for Air pilot since planes were pretty equals but not for tanks.
Wittman has been killed with 2 or 3 other tanks of his bataillon by a single firefly in an ambush...

You have bazooka for that kind of thing if you went Lt. and if you went Cpt. you have AT gun and Cpt. himself.

lol, nice troll.

French tanks were only better on paper. They were only able to beat the Germans during the 1% chance of engagement that happened on their terms. Tactics win fights and the French had Tactics 20years old.
The German Army was not conscripted as much as it was full of able body volunteers. You can not win a war with an army that is 90% conscripted. If men don't want to fight they will show that on the battlefield. The failure of the French was just as much upon the Military and Political Leaders as it was the individual. Furthermore the defeat goes beyond French and lands on the British for allowing it to fail because they were unwilling to acknowledge the potential of the new German Army and thus failed to adequately prepare their forces as well.

Germany lost the war at the end, with their professional soldiers and biggest tanks in the same fashion. So I don't know what you try to point out. Tigers and Panthers were better than ally counter part as individual as French tanks were better than earlier German ones. Doctrines and air superiority build the edge.
