@Robbie_Rotten: This RTS is designed around asymmetrical balance. If a faction has a strong early game (RM yolo rush smoke/mk2, stuart/m20), strong mid game (cheap TD m10, upcoming bar/zook blob) , and possibly strong late game then it's going against the whole concept behind the design. SU and OKW are kinda broken and powerful at all phases of a match, do we need to break another faction?


IMO UKF is the best designed faction out of all, high risk and high reward. Wins are actually rewarding and enjoyable and losses are the result of your strategic mistakes with your emplacements etc.

I don't understand this. Are you saying in the files it says there should be an AT strafe? Because otherwise I completely disagree. Why should you for 200 munitions, and get a 90 munition strafe, 2 60 munition pins (assuming CAS values and 3 planes) and 1 Falls squad? Let's do your 0.66 modifier so 300 munitions so 300-90-(60*2) = 90 munitions for Falls. Or as it currently operates, 120 munitions for Falls. And assuming a long game where you have one or two heavy tanks you are free to convert everything to munitions and call this down whenever. Also feel free to let the falls die (you did not spend a single MP on them) and keep your pop cap open, or retreat them when they need to run and store up some vet. Don't forget the free LoS that the planes give you, and the ability to call it into the FoW.

Converting munitions to MP is unheard of for any other faction or doctrine so this ability has an interesting place.

The other OKW abilities are questionable. They have limited uses, but probably deserve to be looked at in some fashion. They could easily become OP so balance is a little tricky here.

I agree with OP. It is very hard to play axis in my opinion, and even what he says is not going to cut it in response to how OP the Brits (and allies in general) are against both factions. There really is only one way to balance things:

Move all Ostheer units to T1

It's really unfair to not have the counters you need readily available. Ostheer struggles without having all it's units available. As we repeatedly say: this is a combined arms game!? How can I play combined arms if all my units are not readily available to me?!?! Ostheer in particular is about combined arms and Ostheer players never blob, the army just doesn't have the capacity; so this is important and would really benefit the faction as a whole.

Remove all teching beyond BP1, put all units into T1 building. This will improve combined arms play and allow Ostheer to better counter these OP shock unit plays with the proper application of appropriate units.

They receive .66 fuel for every 1 fuel Allies get. 160/.33 is not correct. 160/.66 is the correct equation to use because it shows you what 160 fuel looks like when you are only getting .66 fuel for every 1 fuel the enemy gets. Alternatively you can do 160 times 1.5 since compared to .66, Allies get 50% more.
