Just give volks flamethrower and the doctrine will be good.

Wouldnt making OKW choose between Kubel and MG-34 be better? Just like how UK needs to choose between bofor and aec.

So at the start of the game, a 10-15 fuel, 100-200 mp unlock for either MG-34 or Kubel might work. Gives OKW some flexibility without turning into Ostheer 2.0.

The two doctrine that had the MG-34 are Fortification and Luftwaffe, simply replace MG-34 in forti with MG-42. It fits thematically anyway, since forti makes OKW feel a bit like Ost.

For Luftwaffe, replace MG-34 with something of an "offensive" nature maybe like Luftwaffe field divisions. They can could be:

- 4 man, non elite, weak squad like Rear Echelon (as they were used as such) with a bonus on accuracy and received accuracy in allied territory for 180-200MP with the ability to setup the flak guns in heavy fortification (I mean, the anti air units were subordinate to luftwaffe as well, so it makes sense).
- 5 man, non elite, volksgren esque squad. They would be armed with Kar-98K and can get a single LMG-34 for 60 munition. They do not have grenades, but have panzerfaust instead. This also gives OKW a non expensive AT snare apart from mines (as fallschrim is the only other unit with faust?)

I think the joke flew right over your head this time

I hope it is a joke, but no matter how I think about it, it feels like another repeated "smoke and flank" without the smoke component xD

Rifle vet 3 is pretty much most of the balance issues currently afflicting the game.

Pretty much, alongside lelic power creep in DLC commanders and new factions, and extreme "swings" in who is OP (Changing who holds "the bat") constantly.

Why would someone go for Obersoldaten, Jaegers, Fusiliers or Fallis if he could just spam effective Volks. That's my point. Getting elite infantry would become obsolete.

Why would someone go for rangers and airborne if he could just spam effective rifleman. That's my point. Getting elite infantry would become obsolete.

Wait, isn't that the current US meta? At least volks can be countered unlike terminator rifles.

Nerf rifleman then.
