Please... don´t even bother answering Katitofs posts. This draws too much attention to his bullshit. You can´t argue with him at all. Ignore him and he will go away... or spread more of his shit like a tumor. Who knows? I´m done with the insults in the majority of his posts.
Huh. All I read is

from him. Reading blatantly biased forum warriors' posts is counterproductive to any discussion, whether it be on balance or not.
People bring in arguments that no longer apply.
The reason the cost was increase was because volks shrek + quick teching nullified allied armour. the shrek is gone and the ostheer has even a quicker tech then the okw.
Vet 4 and 5 is impossible to attain in normal situations. The so called superiority of these units is minor and not worth the rather massive fuel increase.
People that say that the okw should have less armour presence because they are biased as shit , then i will say let the old obers return. the same obers that could smash 3 allied squads single handedly.
Their is no good reason for the okw to have more expensive stuff then the ostheer.
+1
People sometimes reason out the price of OKW armor being expensive due to their "superiority" to other factions' armor, mainly because of vet4 and vet 5. You almost never get to those levels unless you're in an extremely long game or your opponent is feeding vet to you (which means you're winning the game anyway). That is not enough reason to justify higher costs for armor(or teching, for that matter). Honestly if this the case, then vet 4 and vet 5 should be removed and made as an upgrade (maybe separate for infantry and armor), and unit prices slightly reduced. This way, you can make use of your armor, and when you DO manage to attain vet 3 with them aka not get them killed to all the cost efficient cromwells they have, you can opt to upgrade them and MAYBE make use of the extra vet levels.
Jagdpanzer however, is the exception and is fine for its cost if not a bit too cost efficient. Can't say the same for the others.
