Clearly Ostheer is now worst faction and even if you have supreme strategic and micro skills you will roughly win against same skilled opponent with USF or UKF (against Russians it is not that bad). Few examples:

1) Grenadiers are weak as hell and loose almost every fight with Riflemans of Tommies (the rate of Tommies of sniping models is insane); MG42 upgrade does not help

2) Panzergrenadiers come in most case too late to balance the blobs of Allied infantry

3) Panzerwerfer has become pretty much useless since Relic nerfed it to the hell (as expensive fireworks it works) - you can compare it against overpowered or underpriced Calliope - can by destroyed with one antitank hit (like Katyusha, but Panzerwerfed should be at least more armoured than Katyusha)

4) Ostheer (same OKW, but it has some other strong points) has barely such smoke options as USF (only dosctrinal)

5) British Comet can compete quite good for example Tiger, which you can have only one on the battlefield and it is more expensive; and you can have more of them

6) Pershing performs like beast and has pop cap just like Panther? WTF

7) I have no clue, why Elefant lost ability tracking - this made it pretty much useless

8) Pak vs M1 57mm and 6-pounder - needs but at least against infantry; or nerf Allied AT

and so on... I think that main problem is, that ostheer has no real strong point (in COH1 it was veterancy and much better tanks) - infantry is weak, armour is not good as it should be (in my opinion) and artillery with air support are in most cases weaker than Allied. US mortar was already mentioned.

On the other hand I consider OKW faily balanced (without their 20mm flak outposts), Russians are good too. Ostheer just need buff or more options to counter USF and UKF.

Actually Hetzer is a real thing - I've received this bulletin yesterday
