Nah it's fine for team games so I'd rather it wasn't nerfed into obscurity for the sake of 1v1's.

Well, it is fine as long as it is You who is using it. Not Your opponent. But I understand it is more of a problem in 1v1 than in 4v4.

Just make ram damage dealer, not a crit dealer. Simple. You just shouldn't use ram as a snare - it is against game design. It should just allow t-34 to damage the tanks t34 can't penetrate. Don't change commanders as it is a dead-end-road. Change the real culprit here.

Those same expensive sturms are pretty OP in the opening game, if you lose them at start, that's your problem. OKW also has repair drones so...

It is enough to engage them from range and they die like flies. Even cons are a threat to them. If you make them charge You they just die. So yes, they are powerful, but not as powerful if You know how to handle them.

Same as Soviets and USF, CE and Echelons can only sweep. Again, you get one at start, so you're not paying anything. While other units are less expensive, they are also much less combat ready.

It changes completely when you are in mid-lategame. Sturms will probably never really fight and then crews, echelons, sappers and even CEs are just a better option due to their smaller bleed and to being more disposable. Echelons and CEs can do many other things such as sidecapping and supporting pushes, laying mines and sweeping. Echelons will be used as bazooka squads. OKW sturms won't be able to do all these things at the same time - they will become the most expensive repair squad. The discrepancy is actually huge.

Your trucks will get barraged if you put them close to the frontline, again, your problem.

The UKF, for example, will repair their structures more cheaply and bleed less. You don't seem to understand a simple fact that other factions can make the same "mistakes" with much less deadly consequences. That is the balance issue.

You want to put volks with repairing? So, OKW, which has the best tanks in the game and non doctrinal super heavy would also have spammable units early on to fight and later on to repair. Basically you could play aggressively with the tanks knowing that you will have a super fast repair.

Tanks are not the best! That is a myth. The real problem is that tanks such as panther have to be in range of tank destroyers and at guns to inflict any damage as panthers have inferior range. Their healh pool gets depleted very quickly. That is why OKW will need repairs more than allied factions who just outrange axis in general and can deal damage being out of range themselves.

Get a grip with reality achpawel and play some custom games with allies or become better with OKW. Get a grip.

I play all factions and actually that is something U can write to yourself I'm afraid. I find playing allies so much easier. Personal attacks change nothing, just show lack of arguments.

This has to be the dumbest thing I've read this past month.

1. OKW has a repair problem as only expensive sturms can do it outside the base.
2. OKW has a mines problem as only expensive sturms can sweep so OKW often loses expensive, often elite, squad models to mines when sidecapping, for example. They can't build such expensive units just for sweeping when other factions can pay as little as 170 - 210 mapower to do the same.
3. OKW has to repair their truck and again only expensive sturms can do it. Agin often they are to busy to do that or simply bleed too much when barraged doing it.

Such solution would solve those problems and allow OKW to bleed less manpower to mines (or when they need to replace the lost sturms) and also give a bit more field presence to their tanks/vehicles. It is possible that a bit less manpower bleed plus more field presence for the vehicles will actually buff OKW more than You expect.

So long as it locked out the stg I guess it wouldn't be too obscene.

Yeah. One model would have a sweeper and it would lock out stgs. I guess one slot could be empty if they wanted to pick up one weapon. This would fill a lot of gaps for okw: repairs, mine voulnerability of elite squads, repurchasing pios, etc. They would lose 20% of their Kar dps so nobody would spam that.
