Ok, so a large reworked OKW would require a large reworking of the other 3 factions as well as nearly all the commanders.

I was assuming something that can be realistically done by Relic, but like hell anything of the sort will ever happen... Relic has never touched the final release of any faction design. Not even a simple unit switch between tiers... (excluding alpha balance changes)

That's why I said just including a few of these ideas would be nice, but it's fun to discuss things.

There is one sure thing about what OP has written. OKW lacks indirect fire. I mean nerfs to obers/manpower/anything relics comes up with should come but the faction just lacks it.

There is no need to argue that no other faction has non-doc arty, no other also has non-doc heavy tank. Just that kind of faction.

It shouldn't get static arty but mobile one. For example ISG should be replaced by nebelwerfer that could be hauled by crew like ISG. It would just do the job of a mortar and rocket artilery with barrage and smoke abilities but it should be the weakest rocket artilery, mainly because of calliber and only 6 shots, some kind like katyusha normal barrage but only one, or slightly bigger one.

As for other tiers stuka can be replaced with Wespe and sturmtiger with Hummel in their tiers. Those mobile artilery pieces should need to manually reload after every barrage with crit chance like sturmtiger does and should not be able to move until they end their barrage when first shot fires. They can have some unique abilities, different range and firepower not to make them too similar.

All three proposed artillery pieces were extensively used in the battle of the bulge, more than units that exist in the game right now.

All three removed units should, in my opinion, be moved to some new commanders as okw lacks them without changing their performance.

Static artillery was much more common in the bulge for the Germans at least, fuel shortages made mechanized artillery pretty much a thing of the past. I made the added howitzers static because I didn't want to give OKW any more mobile indirect while the stuka exists.

Artillery is the best blob punisher in the game and every faction should have quite liberal access to it.

Oh, you mean like all these people abuse stugs twp stun?
You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

Well the SU-85 has better penetration and also has more health and armor than a StuG III Ausf G. And Axis doesn't have a equivalent to the Jackson. Your StuG's also can't camouflage or get a garenteed penetration.

Why do you always use personal attacks in like everyone of your posts? Jesus.

A small stun from a for sure penetration would make it really easy to abuse SU-85 spam in anything above 1's or 2's. But that's really the only issue I can see with your suggestions.

You saw only once Panther at 13min? With your changes you will see Panther in every game and sometimes at 10min.

Axis wins almost every engagement in 4v4. 46W 7L (my placercard) can tell you something. Axis in 4v4 is trolololo. With AT team is even more trolololo. Once we did 3 OST 1 OKW. All 3 OST went for elite troops. I was OKW one. I spammed 5 kubels, enemy cannot move anywhere. Then I made 18min KT. at 24min my KT was vet 5 casue of Elite troops trolololo.
No matter what you do in 4v4 as axis you almost always win. Even with AI as you teammate.

Wont hit the field before T3? That's weird... I was able to make med truck, call in Falsch and make Jadgpanzer around 10min and then choosing between T3/T4.
With that you can repel Sherman rush.

Iv seen Panther maybe once at 15 minutes, but neither me or my team mates almost ever go Panther. And Panther whores are so stupid easy to beat Iv never really considered it a issue. Iv lost count of the amount of times Iv fucked OKW players who through they were being a smart ass by getting nothing but panthers.

AT gun + Mines + not T34/76s. There you go. Also the Panther WILL get messed up by a few Jackson hits. My Allies AT's always go for at least 1 or 2 USF Players for back up, just gotta love those Rifles + Jacksons + Scotts.

And I don't really thing stupid troll strats that work against noobs is an indication of anything, if you want to see how powerful a good allied AT can be just watch Wockaflocka!

Because you combine all the awesome of other factions into one while trying to nullify all OKW weaknesses in the name of balance. Awesome infantry, powerful tanks, cheap tanks, mobile anti-infantry, howitzers and the commanders just being the icing on your super powerful cake.

You maybe didn't get it from the other 20 posts in this thread Iv made, but if you look at the costs of everything there is no way you can actually spam/get all of those things. Your supposed to weigh risk and reward. Do I get this expensive howitzer? Do I get a Panther? What if they have lots of AT guns? Do I get a Flak Trak? Or Maybe a Sturmtiger? But you can only get 1, and it will be bloody hard to replace.

I'll right a big effort post on a proposed redesign of Soviets soon, gotta to homework atm tho.
