Profile of 1st. Fallschirmjäger

Especially considering how easy it is. And we still dont got have it

I really don`t get why companies would not give acess to modding of a game since any games with mod support have a very long ``lifetime`` i.e games like the elder scrolls series, command and conquer generals and many others.

That's just my opinion but

Volksgrenadiers
260/26
One man added (now a 6 men squad from the start)
STG 44 upgrade removed
Veterancy 4 bonus (sight range) replaced with -15% RA bonus
Veterancy 5 bonus (passive healing) replaced with -15% weapon cooldown
Sandbags replaced with Conscripts sandbags wall
Now they can pick up dropped weapons [1 slot] (obviously since there's no stg44)

Sturmpioneers
300/25
Now starts as a 5 men mp40 squad (with Assault Grenadiers MP40)
After one truck has been fully set up they can upgrade
>Assault(or whatever) upgrade 60/80 munitions
4 Panzergrens STG (more mid range oriented, previously this is what Sturm stg were before being tweaked to a more close range profile) and an unremovable minesweeper always carried by a model
>Panzerjäger(or whatever) upgrade that is the current one
>Minesweeper upgrade (mutually exclusive with Assault upgrade of course but not with Panzerjäger upgrade)

how about:

Volksgrenadiers
260/26
5 man still
STG 44 upgrade remains
gets a third one(STG) with panzer authorization
Veterancy 4 bonus (sight range) no change
Veterancy 5 bonus (passive healing) no change
Sandbags kept as is
Now they can pick up dropped weapons [1 slot] even with 3 stgs (because you really can`t rely on picking up enemy weapons, but if you manage you have a killer volks now)and fits with faction resource starvation/salvage

which i think would be minimal changes but would give volks a edge

Sturmpioneers
300/30
Now starts as a 4 men Gewehr 43 squad (with tweaked stats but more a mid range profile but usable close range)
After one truck has been fully set up they can upgrade
>Assault(or whatever) upgrade 50/60 munitions
3 STG (more close-mid range oriented)
>Panzerschreck 70 mun(same as now)
>Minesweeper upgrade 30 mun(same as now)
>all upgrades can be made(nothing mutually exclusive with one another)

With this i think they would not have to solely rely on ambushes on early game or retreat paths wipes, and a full upgrade would leave them with the with 2 STGs,Panzerschreck, and minesweeper or 3 STGs and minesweeper as they have with current patch.

Or instead of Gewehr 43 just adjust the initial STGs which would also be fine.

Every faction has issues with a vital unit crippling them if destroyed before it makes an impact, but no other faction loses tech buildings like OKW does.

what other units? genuinely asking, cause i cant think of any other than maybe early loss and capture of a mg/vickers for OST/UKF.

For me OKW's biggest weakness is that you essentially have to choose between cost-effective healing and light vehicles/rocket artillery.If you go mechanized the issue is you have to spend munitions on medical supplies constantly delaying your infantry upgrades and restricting how often you can use grenades, mines, and snares.
I think if you at least moved the medics to the HQ and made them cost what the previously were which I think was 150 mp 15 fuel you could go either tech and still at least have access to healing which would help Volks significantly.

Maybe make meds require one of the trucks deployed(either one) and be based on the Initial truck but i really don't know how that would work since battlegroup would have that big medic cross on top of it, but no med upgrade and would really hamper any foward HQ players(since no more heals just reinforce).

i just wish there was mod tools to actually change models in COH2. because i really like Dawn of war 2 and warhammer 40k in general , but the gameplay feels so bad when compared with COH2.
.

it's very fun to watch, not very fun to play in.
