Why is the solution to every problem with allied units volks with shreks? Much of the debate here is based off of it's effectiveness against Ost, who cannot get AT quick enough to counter it. Please people I'm begging you, don't look at balance only against OKW.
quoting this for truth
it's fine and actually needed for the OKW volksblob meta, but it's tilting the field against wehrmacht. it basically forces a pak response as your first unit straight out of T2, that's really not reasonable.
ed: M20/AAHT are much less durable and can be fought with good 222 micro if you see the LT tech, you don't have to have pak out and ready to survive against those the way you do with AEC
