Or don't want shrek/volk spam? Don't give volks shrecks and buff their AT gun and reduce the cost of a Jadgpanzer.. I can throw better ideas around all day

Also, having a volks squad upgrade to 2 shrecks for a higher munition price and in turn heavily reduce their vet gains is far better then vet 5 terminator jack-of-all trade squads running around.

The fact OKW can fend off an entire faction inventory with just volks supported by some obers or a luch if they want to troll a US player then sit and wait for yolo KT is toxic.

Where have relic stated the comment around shrecks? Because in Alpha the sturm pio's had the shreck and they only removed that because it truely did make volks scale poorly. The design fix would have been to give volks an LMG/MP40/G43/new weapon upgrade instead - but this is Relic we are talking about, so let's just give their base infantry the best AT weapon in the game while forgetting about Vet inconsistencies and making them immune to cold #banterbus

In almost every stream Relic does the question comes up and they give the same answer, OKW has no serious AT options till mid game, and with how fast Soviets/Americans can rush out medium and light tanks it is necessary for OKW to have reliable mobile AT.

And making volks have 2 shreks is just going to make the issue worse, not better as long as OKW has a MP float due to lack of spending options. What makes sense is giving OKW more AT options instead of the shittiest AT gun in the game while gating all other AT behind a high fuel cost in a fuel starved faction.

And if a player is trolling you with Volks/Luch/Ober which is countered by every medium generalist tank in the game with infantry following it I don't even know what the fuck. OKW has no AT snare outside of making Fallsch/Fussiliers, you can literally run him over and kill his Luchs.

Considering Volks are your bread and butter unit and reach Vet 5 in minutes the second any allied armour hit the field makes me care very little about any other unit hitting vet5. If a luchs hits vet 5 then congratulations to the other player for incredible micro and skill to get it to that level, it deserves the bonuses it receives - volks don't.

I am confused whether you have even followed this thread at all? I guess the fact you build a sturmtiger in your super high level games means I should just ignore everything and base my opinion of the state of volks with your incredibly neutral statements.

Volks being the only OKW unit to actually ever reliably vet up is stupid and a problem not with Volks but the insane way the veterancy system works and the cost of OKW's units.

Volks are cheap infantry that vet up due to the fact they shoot at expensive things, the Stuka and Sturmtiger vet up slow as garden due to the fact they are very high fuel cost units shooting at only MP costing units (and the fact they don't do much damage killing infantry as they do hitting tanks).

Volks veterancy bonus's make them better against infantry by design, as Volks are garbage against enemy infantry till they receive vet. From a design standpoint the challenge is making Volk's scale more naturally with out making them even worse off when facing enemy infantry or more OP versus tanks.

I brought up my Sturmtiger use as a point that I don't enjoy the stale meta any more than the average person does which Is why I like to use rarely utilized units.

WHAT?!?!?

Leave this forum and never return. Your BULLSHIT is getting out of control

OKW has no static howitzer or mortar, how is stating that these units are not capable of being built by OKW bullshit?

This is the OKW unit guide, in case you don't know what OKW can and cannot build: http://www.coh2.org/guides/18815/oberkommando-west-unit-guide

OKW has a Infantry support gun (which is awful), and a Rocket HT, that's it. OKW's only "artillery" are off map call in's, which are good (except the Panzer Commander one, Idk wtf is up with that mess).

Lol at people saying that priest is better than stuka zu fuss. Do they even play this game? Doensn't seem like it at all. That's all i can say. Just some balance forum heroes who sprout random bullshit like TIGER SLOW RATE OF FIRE LEL and thinking they can taken seriously.


I am pretty sure than when somebody says that the priest is better than the stuka zu fuss it can be considered they are trolling, or they just dont play the game and just spilling nonsense...

It's not better, but it's an indirect fire unit that doesn't mess with teching in the same way the Stuka does, and has longer range. It's a more traditional indirect fire unit (in the sense that it fires shells with a spread) than the Stuka Zu Fuss. A USF player can normally afford to get a Priest and have it see good use against OKW, while a Stuka is a very huge investment which isn't always useful (except in team games were having 1 player rush a Stuka can be very helpful, especially on Eddlefuck).

Ultimately they are only comparable because they are both indirect fire units in the WFA factions, both have indirect units that are garbage (The ISG and USF Mortar HT), but the Scott and Priest edge USF ahead in the mobile anti-infantry howitzer category.

All I want is OKW to have some on-map MP costing indirect fire units, so I can finally spend this gardening MP float on something that isn't more volks

You're trying to discuss balance with die-hard axis players.

I play more Axis than allies because that's what my AT's like to play, but I still enjoy playing Allies a fair amount. Plus if you have ever watched me play I'm really not your average OKW/Ostheer player lol.

In several hundred hours of COH2 since WFA came out, Iv seen exactly 1 Sturmtiger that wasn't made by me.

He wants to show us Axis are UP so Relic does not nerf it bat shit crazy to make it more competitive. Right now with Vet 5 broken shit, the game is heavily in favor of Axis after 10min mark.

I don't think you understand how hard it is to get a unit to Vet 5 that isn't Volks. And since when has Ostheer had the ability to go to Vet 5

But you have to go for doctrine to get Priest. Give me Priest in T3 and I would love to tech for it instead of forcing to chose doctrine.

Infantry Company is an excellent doctrine outside of the Mortar HT, there are very many reasons to get it. You love to complain about the Pak43 in combo with the KT, but you have to get a doctrine to use that (a good doctrine, mind you).

Teching has nothing to do with Priest becasue you need to tech no matter what.

Exactly, you don't need to tech for the Priest, if you go with Mechanized HQ as your first HQ and you rush a Stuka you will be sitting with out munitions and be unable to get your schwer done for quite some time.

The Stuka is expensive as garden and slow to vet, it's not OP, it's just stupid that you have nothing else you can make instead of it to get allies out of an entrenched position.

(I would suggest people use Sturmtigers more, but it's very micro intensive unit and I'm probably one of the few people that uses it in high level matches).
