Except that Paras worth 380 MP + 120 munitions each can't actually fight Obers cost-effectively unless they have a significant vet advantage - and munitions are worth a hell of a lot more than MP, especially to a USF player using that commander.

If you invest 120 MU into Paras you get a squad that is superior to any other infantry squad and slightly disadvantaged against Obers.

I think that's fine if you take a look at the basic infantry units of each faction. Rifles are the strongest AI inf to begin with, whereas volks are....quite the opposite.

OKW starts with Sturms that are strong combined with a Kubel. By the time Obers arrive Allies have lots of stuff to counter a Kubel (the Kubel probably got destroyed some time ago) so there's no HMG supporting Volks or Sturms against rifles/paras.

Volks are AT + meatshield and Sturms are weaker PGrens without any AT so they become a repair unit more or less. Using them as combat unit is still possible but they are basically the same as Obers, 100% AI, so I don't count them as a good support unit for Obers.

What I want to say is that Obers are supposed to be a thread to inf because OKW does not have any strong AI inf that is non-doctrinal in the mid-late game.

Obers are strong vs inf and that's it. It's not like they are invulnerable to explosives. They definitely have a counter which is either inf (if you outnumber / flank them) or indirect fire, mines, demos or vehicles.

If Obers get supported by AT then you have to combine your forces as well.

You're right but, if memory serves me, Paras' accuracy on the move with LMGs is something in the region of 25% of their regular value while Obers get something closer to 75%. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, that's right.

I have no problem with reducing their moving accuracy. I really don't care about it. They deal more DPS at long range so I just keep them there. I mean, there's no need for Obers to move towards the enemy.

It delays tanks because allies need to recrew inf first.
And since KT is avaible in 1v1, there is no reason why JT would not be.

Recrewing inf is not that expensive if you don't let the luchs rape your whole army.

KT is available in 1v1 but it's even more expensive than a JT. The reason I don't see anyone using a JT (I don't use it myself as well) in 1v1 is because it's only AT, it's slow as hell, and does require a lot of support.

It's better to go for a Panther in 1v1s. A King Tiger is good against inf and tanks and is not as vulnerable to flanks as a JT. That's why I prefer a King Tiger instead of a JT but it's also expensive as hell.

Is it good?

It's like 12 Sturmtigers shooting at once. So, yeah, it is good

EDIT: The Incendiary Airstrike is for Wehrmacht.

I dont think so, but I agree with You on these 3 points.

Paras lay down when they fire their LMGs but they can also shoot while moving. Whether the guy with the LMG lays down or not is irrelevant. It looks a bit silly in case of Obers but that's it.

Fixed that one for you.

Thanks
