Someone could rolfstomp OKW anymore, what a shame.

Blob problem? Oh please, it feels like only OKW can blob, USF\UKF have the most powerfull blobs for ages, blobs are problem in general, not only for specific faction.

Early PzII ? Only brits can suffer from it to be honest, but again you can have everything to counter it. You just have to play "outside" your meta and instead of using your regular build, think for a second "hmm and what if he would bring PzII".

OKW simply is in line with other factions now, its hard to beat right of the bat. The only problem I see for new OKW - Panzerschreck. As I said 100 times now - "Give volks 2x panzerbuchse + faust upgrade insted of Panzerschreck".

You actually answered it urself! player invest his mp into squads as soon as he has manpower for it! that's the thing, since OKW teching is very cheap and the factions doesn't generally give u options for various support weapons such as mgs/mortars etc you build another (very cost efficient) squad (which u can upgrade it to the mighty shreck).

OKW stays broken as long as it's easy to shreck blob, or shreck has such a performance

You said it. Maybe here is where the problem lies on? Not that schrecks are hurr durr, no brainer, but because there are no useful support weapons\useful inf? Or you suggest to invest into fallshims\Obers who are not only over-priced but also comes at the point where Allied inf already have 2-3 vet and also they require vet 2-3 to be somehow useful ... until they get one-shotted by mine\tank\mortar\lucky explosion.

In correct game version, schrecks are the only way to stop allied armor in some cases. Sure schrecks blobs are annoying, but its not luxury like vet 3 terminator Rifles, Matrix Conscripts or sniper Tommy squads. Its usually must have, since you literary have no other options.

I would say, give volks x2 Panzerbüchse with same AT, AI and accuracy of PTRS performance and Pfaust unlock, for 60 ammo.

This would kill few problems:

1) Volks blobs
2) Volks shitty AI (better then before but still shity meh)
3) No insta-killing tanks

And then work on raketenwerfer and make it less shitty.

Volks would have more\less same perfomance vs light armor. Schreck is out-of-place for OKW, there is no way you can emplement it without it being OP\useless. OP on volks, useless on Sturmpio, too expensive on Obersoldaten.

Also with 100% fuel income, I would say that OKW don't need to rely on schrecks.

Sturms with schrecks ... this would be a dissaster. Fragile unit with 9 popcap, your minesweeper, your repair source, they are already busy enough. Giving them shrecks would also decrease their performance as combat unit.

If u want to give them shrecks make it 2 per squad, and decrease popcap (2 sturms = 18popcap really?). But I would approach other way. Leave volks as they where - meatshield squad - buff storms so they can perform as combat unit. Make Obers available earlier - expensive glorified grens at battlegroup hq without upgrades, LMG, STG unlocked with schwerer. With current changes I expect more fuel investment in flak hq, luchs and puma. Schwerer will be delayed even more and with it obers, we will end up with volks blobs and call in infantry making obers extinct.

I would agree that it would be terriable at some point, but also would be broken to be honest.

Units with AT guns (Zooks\Schreck) always will eat up vets like crazy. So this means that Sturms will be insta vet 5 after few schreck shots. And I must say, their vet is really nice. Their vet stats werent changed in patch notes. Vet 5 sturms are:

1)Unlocks medical supplies ability
2)-30% weapon cooldown -23% received accuracy
3)+25% repair rate unlocks stun grenade ability
4)-23% received accuracy +20% accuracy
5)+40% accuracy Lowers extra damage while repairing

I had sturmpios with vet 5 ones, and they could stay toe-to-toe with Shocktroops. The point is that, right know volks at least cant do shit to inf, while schrecks pios blobs (lets say 2-3 of them) with vet 5 would be able to deal insane damage up close (even with only 3 StGs) but most importantly, repair all damaged tanks without any penalties during the fight with higher speed. Thats the problem.

Not to mention that they would be able to stun any support weapons with nades.

So yeah, stumpio schreck is the worst idea.

If volks have antiinfantry upgrade, ober is meaningless.

What the point of them then? At least Conscripts have AT nades and commander's PPSH. On the other hand volks have better scaling and vet system (but again vet 3 cons are really nice).

If sturmpios would have schrecks then I see no reason to have more then 1 or 2 volks for early game and then spam sturmpios, or use stums+kubel combo right of the bat.
