While the end of the OKW tech tree is not the most common issue, what if OKW required a final upgrade similar to the Hammer / Anvil choice that UKF has to make? OKW gets one or the other: the Panther or the King Tiger, again, similar to the Comet and Churchhill.

This would help give the Jagdpanzer IV some purpose while delaying these units that are only counterd by mass AT Guns and dedicated Tank Destroyers.

The Comet, Churchhill, OKW Panther, and King Tiger should all be limited to one on the field at a time.

Made the same thread on reddit.

A few replies, nothing we don't already know but maybe you'll find something helpful. Hopefully a hotfix is coming to at least fix the pop cap issue so we see a little less Volks spam.

Fix OKW infantry pop.
KT cp 14
Panther another small unlock.

125 MP, 10 fuel to unlock Shreks to purchase for Volks. Reduce the cost of the munitions purchase to 75.

It costs 150 MP + 15 fuel + 50 munitions to equip a bazooka on USF infantry. Obviously nothing needs to be said about the performance of the PShrek vs. the Bazooka.

I'm not including the costs of OKW teching because the USF weapon rack is not part of USF's teching either. USF has to make a choice on whether to tech faster or to unlock better weapons... every other faction has to do the same w/ regards to weapons, grenades, etc., and so should OKW.

There are so many unique aspects of OKW's design that were put in place when the faction was resource starved. Things like free repair engineers, free medics, free Flak gun that slaughters infantry, light vehicles, and shoots down planes, 5 star veterancy, free flame nade, no fuel needed to unlock powerful AT weapons, no CP requirement for a heavy tank, comically low pop cap for base infantry, Tier 0 AT Gun, and it goes on and on.

All of this made sense when OKW was resource starved but the faction isn't anymore, and no matter how long we wait for the "new meta to stabilize" for the top 150 players, I don't think it changes the fact that a lot of this stuff just needs to be reexamined and probably changed when you compare OKW to other factions, OST included.

whether intended or not, those popcaps of brit units and volks are ridiculous.

10 pop cap for Royal Engineers, 5 pop cap for Volks.

How... how does that happen?

Well, some of the changes like the Kubel were in the UKF Alpha and have already had some testing.

But it seems like everyone who played that said it was a terrible mechanic, and Relic ignored them and are doing it anyway.

I'm pretty nervous about this patch. I agree that a complete faction revamp could have used more testing / preview time than a normal patch. No doubt OKW is going to be broken and/or exploitable in some significant way, and Relic will probably have to rush out a hotfix on December 7.

I don't see why they couldn't have done two months of OKW revamp testing, while still releasing the December 3 patch with the new commanders and usual bug fixes / nerfs / buffs to various units and commanders.
