I think Scout Snipers and Penals should get some straight stat or vet buffs. Other then this and slight T34/76 cost buff/buff, Soviet faction is in a perfect place. |
Other than flavor why does OKW even need nondoctrinal Shrek? They are an aggressive early game faction!
Puma, JP4, Panther, PzIV, and Puppchen are all AT for different game stages. Compare this to:
Ost: Faust, double shrek, Pak, Stug, PzIV, Panther. Note that Ost is a defensive lategame faction, compared to the aggressive early OKW that has better anti infantry.
USF, the faction more "balanced" than OKW: Zook, AT nade, AT gun, Stuart, Jackson, Sherman.
Soviet, another aggressive faction: AT nade, Zis, Su-76, Su-85, T34

OKW by design is OP. According to Relic best early game, and devastating lategame with super tanks. Now that there's no resource penalty, what's the weakness other than a lack of support weapons?
If they're designed like this now, units need to be designed to take skill/positioning to use, or prices need to be ramped up. |
TBH, Volksgrenadier Shrek should be much less accurate than Panzergrenadier and Stormer counterpart. This way it's a defensive AT weapon and not the a-move tool it is now.
IMO RPG launchers ingame accuracy should be from highest to lowest:
Stormer Shrek
Bazooka/Panzgren Shrek equal accuracy
Steep drop-off
Volks Shrek
PIAT (lol) |
I believe it's a strategic choice rather than tactical.
It's actually a political choice because you're picking a leader. |
It should be 250 MP, get vet faster, and be a bit zippier at vet 0. |
I also think that HMG play is going to required vs OKW. If you force them to tech and build leig, you stall their opportunity to rush armor, and can continue to pressure them.
|
So it's a no. It looks like team games as allies are unwinnable without Soviet super troops.
Got what I needed, thread can die now |
In a team game, can a UKF player give Shock Troops Vickers from the weapons halftrack, and then can a USF player drop an HMG for that squad?
