I wouldn't say okw is op, more that they have a major cheese mechanic that can be very frustrating to play against and kinda lame/boring to play with. I am referring to the 4-5 pshreck volks squads running all over the map. I assume it's less of a problem in 1v1 but that doesn't mean it isn't one. 3v3 and 4v4 it's an absolute cancer. Makes the game feel like an old school cheesy RTS where basic infantry could kill tanks by shooting MOAR bullets. |
Yeah, I don't think it needs to be gutted, just needs adjustments.
If only this attitude were more pervasive. |
I like the squad leader idea a lot. Should be an Obersoldat because those are actually OKW units.
The squad leader shouldn't increase the squad size to six tho.
lol obersoldat would definitely be a better choice, why didn't i think of that |
My bad, i should have said that this would not increase the size of the squad to six. Would only replace one of the existing squad models.

I am a fan of taking away shrecks from volks, not a huge fan of the mp40's on them though (not saying they shouldn't have the upgrade though). It seems like they would just become assgrens with less assault capablities. What do you guys think of adding a squad leader upgrade instead? maybe a panzer grenadier or grenadier model, would help improve firing speed, accuracy, something along those lines, as well as giving access to a pfaust. I think it would fit the feel of the OKW, new green troops led by a dwindling core of hardened veterans.
Thoughts? |
t34/85 as core unit, double t34/76 call in for sovjet commanders.
t34/76 on it's own is ridiculously bad, why couldn't they just give it more health or armour? it's not like the thing can kill much aside from infantry on it's own. |
Don't really like the ability. Would rather it just did damage with none of the vehicle crits |
Now there is a good chance I will get torn to shreds for this but, What about vet 5 on sovjets? Isn't the reason that the okw have vet 5 because they were drawn from the eastern front? If so wouldn't it make sense for their troops to be just as hardened? Might breathe a little life into the soviet faction and help many of their units which currently don't scale very well.
I would rather keep the vet 5 mechanic, it makes things more fun and interesting. |
Maybe once a good healthy balance is achieved (or almost achieved) and we have a method of reporting afk players and lame trolls/flamers it might be fun to play with the idea of allowing the option for mirror matches. Personally I think there are bigger issues than this for achieving balance. |
+1 revert pls.
Also, any enemy tank should not be able to phase through your tanks and vice-versa. If I block a vehicle in I don't expect it to simply yolo through my tank to freedom.
Yes I totally agree with this, kinda kills the immersion this game creates (and in my opinion it really does create some fantastic atmosphere) when a tank decides to become incorporeal. |
