Can we keep the shit posting to a minimum.

So a wait an see approach for volks seems to be the verdict, though most of the arguements against changing them seems to be early game is fine, with no mention of late game.

Obers still seem to be a bug bear, can anyone post a game in this patch where Obers actually fit well into the 1v1 meta?

Why does everyone seem to think good luchs/puma gameplay overides every other issue? If T1 is not a vialbe build order from the get go something is wrong with T1 and how it meshes with the T0 units.

I'm fine with the removal of snowflake status, but give OKW something more then a luchs rush for 90% of games. Options is what makes a faction interesting.

Luchs rush is meta for a long time now, which pretty much invalidates your argument here. The 15 fuel side grade cost makes no difference on the long run, its there, because OKW had already too many freebies and special snowflake stuff while not having any kind of limitations anymore.
Since you aren't pumping that 270+ muni into shrecks now, you can put a med crate or two with spios.

If this is the current meta where does T1 fit into it? Being shoe horned into an early vehicle rush does not make for a balanced or varied faction, which I think was the reason for the changes to OKW in the latest patch.

VG's need a buff . their weapon upgrade is extremely lackluster and their vet is generally poor. the mp44 upgrade should at least mirror the dps output of the pg's and vet 3 should be increased from 10% to 23%

I think a wait and see approach for volks at the moment, maybe increase cost for the stgs if they do get buffed, but as a 250 mp unit I don't see how buffs can be dished out without increasing their cost in either manpower and/or munitions.

Been playing OKW 1v1 abit since the new patch, other then 80% of games involving an USF player exploiting the vehicle stack I've been finding the changes to OKW infantry a bit lack lustre. Going to list below a few issues with the current patch, that I have with non call in infantry especially by late game.

Current unit composition (eg AT now with your repair/sweeper unit) does make blobbing alot less feasible, so good on relic for that.

Volks
As with previous patches once late game hits if you don't have vet, due to wipes they struggle really badly, with no real way to gain vet since now that they can't feed on vehicles. Running vet 0 Volks into the meat grinder seems to be an exercise in futility, if you can keep them alive, and get into 4-5 star vet they are really good.

- Faust disappears at vet 4 , probably a bug, but who knows this is Relic.

- Stg upgrade should only take up 1 weapons slot. (Not being able to pickup a dropped Shrek is so painful to behold)

Sturms

Good early game apart for difficulty clearing garrisons. Seems to suffer from a jack of all trades master of none by late game, probably in the best state and a change for the better, though a few issues

- Why does this shrek still cost 90 munitions is it that much better then the wehrmacht shrek? 2 shreks for 120 munitions on the pgrens, 2 zooks for 100 munitions.

-Sappers can get a sweeper + a piat/bren, sturms get a shrek or a sweeper, pick one.

Obers
Anti infantry ability still really good, and as with all OKW units once vetted a death machine. However struggling to find a spot for them in the current meta.

- Are they purely a volk replacement? Losing the chance to snare for a more robust unit. No real value for Obers with vetted stg volks on the field.



Anyone got any other thoughts on these units since the patch? I feel like OKW is missing quite a bit without call in infantry commanders on a side note.

TLDR
OKW infantry meta needs ironing out, some possible fixes to volks and sturms needed. Obers???
