Yeah It was pretty retarded that they double slapped the osttruppen reserve with a double nerf, by both shortening the time of the ability and increasing the requirement of losses for a new unit. That made it go from decent to completely useless real quick 
I mean the ability in mobile defense.
Relief Infantry is decent-ish, but comes so late Osttruppen will be 100% useless in combat. |
I assume this is from a team game perspective right? Because I sure don't see this often in 1v1.
I also have a hard time thinking of a more seldomly used ability than the Riegel 
1 full commander slot for tank traps. 
Or just Osttruppen Reserves.  |
I literally never seen any complaints or threads made on spotting scopes yet there is a change, I'm disappointed In that as it just completely removed any offensive ability on it. Itll be virtually useless for stugs as there is always a little traversing going on.
The self-spotting Elefant is OP, a much cleaner solution would've been to just remove the scope option for the Elefant.
Now I feel it's needlessly nerfing aggressive use of Stugs and Panthers with scopes. |
I don't understand. Surely this 'surplus accuracy' would be wasted against Vet 2 Grens regardless?
This is about their current vet 3 performance compared to their new vet 3 performance. The damage reduction intends to make them more survivable against explosives, not to make them more durable against small arms at close range.
You could argue some small arms have surplus accuracy against vet 0-2 Grens, but that's besides the point. |
As Derby said. Was pretty hyped yesterday but now looking shocks etc. will be quite useless against them. Maybe better convert the 20% DR to 10% DR + 10-15% RA ?
10% DR and -11% RA at vet 3 would be the equivalent of 20% DR, considering 0,91*0,89 = 0,81 RA. |

Give the M5 healing like the 251, that halftrack isn't used for its reinforcement role either.
Yeah, squads can shoot out of it, but I don't see how that would break the game if you add healing, assuming that only happens out of combat. |

Allot Assault Guards stats are outdated, like their veterancy.
Better just copy the Airborne Guards design, but with the option to upgrade Thompsons or Elite Zooks. Different vet 1 ability. |
I honestly just think the veterancy should be toned down now that its base performance is so good. That goes for the OKW Ostwind especially.
Besides that, watching VonIvan with his double Ostwind strat lock down the field is a little concerning, though I think the issue there is more on how easy it is for Ostheer to skip tier 1 and 2 than how OP the Ostwind might be by itself.
Just today Von allowed DevM a comeback by going double Ostwind instead of Ostwind + P4. His full health Ostwind couldn't finish off a tellered T-34 and got main gun crit. 
I'd say Ostwinds are amazing damage dealers if you catch your opponent off guard, but suck as frontline vehicles because they're not effective when shooting once & pulling out like P4's. It made Von's Ostwinds not have that many kills that game and why I'd advise against making more than 1. |
I really feel like this is a missed opportunity to finally give the Riegel mine a viable entry into the game. I know this would take a bit more work, but if you swapped the Schu with the Riegel at vet 1, then it would start to see use and you could clean up some of the most obsolete Ost Commanders, by swapping the Riegel ability with something that might actually see use.
"Let's buff Jaeger Armor." 
I think it could be looked into if Jaegar Armor is given an equally usele- euhm seldomly used ability. |

The high damage reduction will be unfair in close range, where cover is ignored and some weapons have >100% accuracy. Surplus accuracy will be wasted without the RA buffer. For example, here's the accuracy of vet 3 Penal SVT's at close range:
- vs old vet 3 Grens: 1,183*0,7 = 0,8281 = no accuracy wasted.
- vs new vet 3 Grens: 1,183*0,91 = 1,07653 = surplus 7,65%~ accuracy wasted.
Change the damage reduction to 10% and give some of the RA reduction back. That would mean no surplus accuracy for all small arms I know of, even with accuracy bulletins (Shocks, Penals, Pathfinder sniper). |
