Something like this or I'd say just turn it into giant suppression platform by upping the suppression/AoE suppression and lowering the damage. That way it's less likely that you get crawlers tossing satchels/gammons but you also don't randomly gib squads at max range. At the very least I think it's far range accuracy should be reduced as I personally think it's too good at doing max range damage to squads.

Would also trade some damage to be actually able to target what i want.

1. no need to create terminator blobs where each squad costs only 240mp

2. fair enough I guess

3. nah, coh2 has enough smoke nade CQC units now, it's boring

4. hit the dirt on a squad with 3 LMGs sounds a bit cancerous, ngl

5. Oh god, G43 Osttruppen what could go wrong

1. considering they suck ass rigth now losing to everything aside from 6 man concripts late game, i think they migth need a 3th one(TigthRope G43 video demonstrates it).

2. agree

3. yep

4. maybe, maybe not

5. migth be a good meme since i think the only commander with both g43 and osttrupen is the one with relief infatry(just imagine 4 g43 osttrupen lol).

penal battalions should receive a separate PPSh upgrade that is unlocked at CP-1, 45 muni cost, identical to the pre-nerf upgrade

nobody really complained about them and nobody found them overpowered either, and all the crate nerfs have been almost exclusively for svt cons, but affected both, turning ppsh penals from rarely ever used and "meh" to outright useless and obsolete

i think in my 1800 hours of COH2 i seen SMG penals 2 times.

Ok,i think it needs that level of damage because losing it sets the OKW Player so much back it`s not even funny.

I do not play 1v1 that much but even on there(arguably the hardest mode to deal with it), i never put it any futher than a cutoff point(and safely only covering it and not much further) same on 2v2 and on larger game modes sometimes i try to put it further to provide cover to a foward hq or something(but again only if your team seens to be able to hold that part of the map most of the time).

So if a AEC/stuart/t-70 with support from AT guns could just park somewhat near it and shoot it would really fuck with OKW.

And as you said it`s not like it can`t be destroyed, any foward OKW Flak HQ can be destroyed by indirect fire,if you force the infantary and tanks back just attack ground with your at guns(easier yet if you have recon), and any tank heavier than AEC can go and park near it(if not rear facing it of course) draw it`s fire and even penals can`t shoot at it unpunished since last i checked you can`t actually control at what it fires at.

Ps: Also to your point "This unit is a relic of a bygone era when OKW had resource limitations that necessitated locking down whatever precious few points they could manage, when they had no non-doctrinal MG for suppression, and didn't have access to arguably the best generalist medium tank in the game. The rest of the faction has evolved since then, and it's high time this unit does the same."

It did since i really don`t remember all changes but from the top of my head but, it changed cost numrous times(from requiring authorizationn to shoot and some other changes i think), to not being need to be set up but still be able to get call in`s tanks(command panther Meta days) to needing to both need to be set up and authorized to both shoot and get call-in`s(aside from ostwind and flame hetzer), So i really think it did.

Ps2:Also to "I'm well aware this unit is not indestructable and it has some weaknesses, but the point is the amount of micro it takes to oust one compared to just setting it down on a base sector is incredibly lopsided. I'm also aware that you don't necessarily have to destroy this structure either, but having it around, locked down on an important chokepoint makes the game drag out incredibly long and makes it much more of a headache to play."

i think the only way this unit can drag out a game is if put covering a fuel or victory point(arguably a fuel cutoff but if you can`t get the cutoff focus on fuel) and if you are having problem dealing with one on these positions(hate being that guy)but it`s a L2P issue, also do the math if you actually kill this tech unit you arguably set the OKW Player 240 fuel behind(120 for the one you kill + 120 to new one) or he goes for kingtiger stall which also give you plenty of time to win the game as he needs well over 300 fuel(if he does not have all tech yet) to do it. i don`t think any other unit loss on this game sets you so much back as that(not even base ones since USF/UKF can just reconstruct them and if you losing buildings on base sector you arguably already lost).

You mustn't play 4v4 much. You start with one you know, so you are only making 2 and one volk.

Man, when i see a teammate/enemy using 3 storms i know they either suck or are memeing, and besides i am not even that high of a rank in 4v4 now(700s with ober i think) and i never seen more than 2 being used in ages.

how 2 okw deal with spam HMG in 4v4?
and build sand bag need 6s and the tank trap only 3s?
nerf the okw early reforce and heal said it is too op and the usf heal car can build at the beginning?

nice

No wait..... he is speaking the language of the gods

While not put in the best words, i do agree it`s very hard rigth now as okw in 4v4, i either go for 2 kubels(yes meme, i know) or hope to flank and hope they suck and i get some good rng.
