Profile of Widerstreit

The only faction broken design-wise is UKF as its a faction that's crippled by default and extremely reliant on OP gimmicks and now that all of these gimmicks were removed, you just have a cripple on the floor.

Ost for example, 251 was buffed through the roof, providing everything you need, LOS, reinforcement, healing to never have to go off the field with infantry, unless its panic retreat after nade/mortar hit, yet I see only top players using it somewhat often - why so many ost players think gren blob is viable? Because of hardcoded noobism.

All other factions except UKF at this point, its hard L2P issue.

That is true, the 251 is now a very useful vehicle, that was a very good change. And yes, Gren blobbs are a thing, but not an elegant and way not as potential as other no-brainer.

But still, the fraction is so fixed on their support weapons which often can't deal with the map-design, and most new maps are horror for PaKs. Here the problem of no early tank comes in.

I am looking for something like non-doc StuG E, making tech fluent and fill a missing unit to give some resistance versus mortars. Something also be easy to be counterd.


One of my main critics are the line-up and the commander-system, mainly of Ostheer. Because I think if some commander-abilities would become non-doc it would become more fluent while beeing balanced.

And there are some abilies would better be non-doc or some mechanics extra.

- shock-nade non-doc for Grens (and Stormtroupes) improving them on urban maps and gives option to protect support weapons while not beeing to potential. Let them be Grenadiers.
- remove the german scope as ability, instead give 222 a timed view ability instead of inf-detection.
- kind of siege-mode for StuG G to get 60 range, slow rotation (in hulldown will be deacitvaed and stet so standard)
- overworking Osttruppen, but that is a big thing... ^^

And I would like to make the passive-unlocking system of Ostheer be more clear. e.g. Faust is locked behind T1 building. I would like to see more like that. That would open a more felxible tech.

You aren't going to find many people agreeing with you on this, unless its the people of ranks so low, the balance never even started to matter for them.

Balancing team was trieing to make best of the broken fraction-designs, sometimes with more radical changes (like OKW and US). By last changes for Ost it was a loud shout for change.

It all starded with the stupid idea to move HMG42 into t0 instead of buffing grens.

Not really, on the other hand we have tiger with great mobility and its vet bonuses. So balances it out.

That are two complete different weapon platforms shouldn't be compared. KV2 is more a Brummbär than Tiger.

For me the change seems like so many other semi changes of the last years, doesn't touching real broken mechanism.

Panzerwerfer arrives too late, its performance is incosistant in comparison to other units and only Artillerieoffizier makes it potential.

a. move it to T2, requirement of tech T4.
b. reduce the fire-rate (less clowny) but inprove the armor pen + add a low angle ability for better acc. but less range.
c. Arty-off. ability only uses standard shots, doesn't make Werfer op.

That e.g. allows to react on stupid 120mm spam or pack-howitzers.




Incendiary grenade or Brandflasche could be a ability for Osttruppen xD

Just stop. "Aren't bad?" They are very strong and VERY cost effective. They're is absolutely nothing bad about them

"Arn't bad" is a normal way to say "good", can't see the problem. Maybe I am thinking and writing to German, saying "nicht schlecht" is a way of euphory with handy-cap.

The bias in that post is pretty silly. MG42 is better against Germans??? I think you mean to say it's just better than all 3 allied MGs...

No, that wasn't what I mean. e.g. for me Vickers is a better MG on the long-run, also as German. But because Ostheer units have all no good grenades (Geballte isn't that great in comparion with standard gernades = shame) or simple passive fire you will not be able to kill a 6men HMG42 of Soviets. That is what I mean -> bad fraction design.

For me HMG42 is simply a overkill as opener has to be removed to buff Grens.
