Great direction on Heavies Damage, hopefully they will not be rng wipe machine, Question do tiger changes apply to Tiger ace as well? Additionally, Ost require BP3 but OKW cannot callin heavies if the schwerer is destroyed, this seems inconsistent, unless you want to really punish OKW players for losing tech which is a valid train of thought.

OKW is getting I think some good changes on their infantry, volks, the officer and Falls. Raketen change is interesting I think we need to see how this one works.

Sturmpioneers- If your going to adjust them, Take a look at The shrek and Minesweeper both being available? Much like RE's and Royal engineers can get both. Linked discussion: https://www.coh2.org/topic/95256/70-ammo-for-just-1-panzerschreck-still-why

USF seems to have fewer changes than most but I think the complaints about usf are mostly about infantry balance, which is always very hard to adjust. Not surprising they wouldn't adjust them at the same time as a major OKW change.

I'm Excited to live in a world without no tech supertanks!

That's true. I think it got nerfed a while ago and it's not quite as OP (IIRC it's not -75% RA anymore lmao who ever thought that was a good idea) but it's still super strong.

Maybe change it to a cheaper all around 3 man utility squad like the US major and make commandos drop with the glider (that way you don't have to spend 500-something manpower on a squad that's not that useful for direct combat just to be able to make commandos later), and just make both units buildable from the glider.

Making them both buildable from the glider sounds good, players can choose how they want to use the ability,

So couple things I learned so far:

Volks vet is much better than Riflemen and it comes sooner.

Riflmen have to vet up to get something they should have anyway (AT snare) and get no combat bonuses until Vet 2 which again is a very slow process.

Riflemen are less effective than Volks at long range, although this isn't really surprising.

You know maybe the solution is just to give them the snare already then add an actual combat bonus at Vet 1?

I've always thought Strumpioneers shouldn't be a starting unit either. Should be a T2 unit like Royal Engineers which aren't nearly as good but for some reason they're a Platoon CP unit.

Volk vet kinda compensates for the lesser upgrades they get, However vet is free, where as 2 bars are 120 munis vs 60 for stgs

At snares being vet isn't that bad, rifles vet3 would probably have the same stats but you would need to pay fuel for it as an alternative, just look at cons.

Rifles are about average at every range most of the game. They are relatively survivable, but they never do a particularly large amount of damage for the associated costs, except at very close range < 10, they outperform other rifle armed units there.

Ex. Compare an lmg rifle to a gren, Grens get better offensive vet and a 60 muni lmg that does the same damage as rifles. At vet 3 grens are doing 23.48 damage vs 21.7 damage. But more hp and RA means rifles can probably win, even though they aren't really outperforming gren models who do 50% more damage than an unupgraded rifleman.r

Rifles should have their stats adjusted so they can be less of an okay at every range and more of a -this is how you use rifles fight at mid range. It could also help to give officers a more defined combat role that isn't the same as rifles just slightly better

70 munis is worth it. U get faster vet on sturms which is very important for repairs as sturms vet slowly. Plus USF/UKF need to tech for zooks (unless lt) but u can only get one lt anyways.

Perhaps, but the sweeper upgrade also increases repair speed.

UKF and USF can get minesweepers on an AT squad for less manpower, where as OKW must choose to specialize a very expensive infantry squad. That is the reason I think the panzershrek upgrade is not seen much at all in high level games, it's a bad call to go without sweepers and an even worse call to get a second sturm squad just to sweep.

Is there a justification from locking out sweepers with shreks when other factions can buy the same and it doesn't seem to be much of a problem?

well they have a jump at range 9 or less where they become CC weapons, they aer basically a mix bwtween an cc weapon and an LMG , having a pretty flat but good mid to lang range dps but having spike after range 10

Ya it’s like kinda weird bc they should either dig in at max range or get into a knife fight nothing in between
