Reinforce and Pop cap affect Float DRASTICALLY. And your underestimating power of units and force concentration. When 1 unit costs double of another and does double the DPS of the other it is exponentially superior due to force concentration and availability of cover.

Example if I am used and have a 50 Pop cap with vehicles and infantry I am bleeding 100 MP a min.

OKW with the same relative power but 75MP a min drain due to no vehicles and just infantry carrying all sorts of counters like Shreks and High AI DPS can easily run into the opposing force and instantly start inflicing casulties in a smaller area and instantly retreat before they take any themselves if they sense it wont be a steam roll.

Having super high DPS infantry you can Alpha strike and retreat for no loss to your own MP but a loss to the opponents.

AI/AT power to unit effciency is NON LINEAR. But its currently treated in a Linear fashion.

A OKW player with no armor will get his ass kicked just like any other player that forgoes making any kind of armor, but more than often as OKW you are not getting any kind of choice.

You can't make tanks because the game won't let you. It gates all your vehicles behind large costs on top of a fuel penalty meaning that you normally will only ever be seeing 10% of OKW's unit roster in a game because there is little incentive to diversify your army thanks to the resource disadvantage.

Your looking to hard a OKW in a vacuum. OKW's infantry really isn't anything to call home about when things like Shocks, 1919 Para's and Riflemen, as well as the finally viable guards exist. Every faction has a plethora of good infantry now, but with OKW infantry is all they have.

Instead of thinking about how you can adjust OKW in a vacuum, think about why the other faction's don't float MP. It's because they all have MP dumps, tanks, and more than 2 fucking support weapons.

You would make for a WORST game designer ever.

"Hey, we have this resource inflation problem, lets fix it by making all other resources inflated or by changing absolutely nothing to the value vs return ratio on the infantry that is too cost effective and doesn't bleed nearly as hard as other armies infantry, lets ignore actual problem and make it a mindless buff for overperforming amry!"

OKW bleeds just as hard as all the other factions, but it can only replace it's losses with infantry instead of tanks. Every faction BUT OKW has access to being able to spend MP to increase munitions and fuel income but OKW.

If every other faction doesn't MP float, and OKW does, it might be because OKW isn't getting the proper tools it needs to in order to not float MP.

Think about it, Soviets have call in infantry just like OKW, high cost infantry to. It also has plentiful cheap infantry as well. Why do Soviets not float MP? Because they have access to MP dumps in the form of caches and tanks.

Ostheer isn't MP floating because it's teching is very MP intensive and it's infantry is expensive to reinforce.

USF isn't because it's most basic infantry is expensive and takes up a fair amount of popcap, it also needs to spend a lot of MP on tanks.

So your solution is to take all of this inflated excess of manpower and transfer it into other resources so OKW can produce even more units with less effort?
How this fix the problem exactly? To allow for 10 minute Panther?

The MP float doesn't happen until mid to late game, if you spammed Opal trucks you would have no infantry to speak of. I think your forgetting OKW has the least starting MP of any faction in the game.

I also suggested that the basic OKW infantry gets better but more expensive, which would also help fix the float. USF has effective but expensive basic infantry and they don't float at all!

OZ I agree. OKW can still float WAY too much MP when used properly. But I think a penalty to their MP isnt the way to go. Its their ability to project firepower and melt opposing Infantry especially in a blob. It makes it very easy for them to push an Infantry Force off and if it doesnt work instantly retreat without taking many losses themselves.

Combine this with their excellent Vet that is pretty easy to obtain with their AI infantry since its primarily damage based and they DEAL ALOT OF DAMAGE and you see what we have today.

Also they arent using Pop cap on alot of vehicles because its easy to get along with just Infantry and maybe 1-2 tanks.

Its a huge design issue and there isnt any easy way to fix it without making OKW too weak.

TLDR the float is an issue I have NO idea how to fix it without breaking OKW.

Want to fix the float? Easy, create more MP dumps through Opal trucks or increase the price of Volks while increasing their performance. Making things cost more is fine as long as you make sure to adjust the units performance to match the cost.

Your also overestimating how much pop cap influences float, OKW floats because it has nothing to spend MP on but more infantry, not because it has to much income or not enough things taking up population cap. Soviet infantry is just as cheap and plentiful as OKW infantry, but your not floating MP because you have access to vehicles.

Never said spam. refrain from attempting to put words in my mouth.

Position ur Mg's correctly and retreat when ever u find urself in a situation that is not favorable

Not that hard

That is literally how you use every single MG in the game, the issue is you need to do that with the MG34 far more than any other because you can't suppress on top of being a 4 man squad. It suffers from some of the same issues as the .50 cal, but at least the 50 has a quick set up and tear down time.

The awkward strength of the 34 is you can get a lot of them to cover each other.

it does, Use it correctly

If by that you mean "spam it" then it's not doing it's job if you need 2 or 3 to be doing what a single one should anyway.

What do you define as "correctly"
