Hey now, airborn is good too, it needs some fixes(paratroopers could upgrade faster).
But paratroopers with thompsons are a great unit, imagine using them in a map like vilshanka for instance.
Ostruppens serve more purpose in 1v1 where strategies involving fast and early map control are prevalent.
I say this because I can understand how people playing team games might not see a lot of use in them, if you get them from relief infantry or with c.panzer, however the ostruppen doctrine does have a set of tools that are really useful in team games, they actually work better with them alone, than to use grens or pgrens.
They get LMGs at a time where they should, so they do scale enough without imbalance.
It's a well thought unit and doctrine, the latest patch made their doctrine even better.
I have to disagree with sextons being fine.
They were already tweaked prior to patch release, and they are still overperforming, it's just that they haven't been used a lot since then, maybe most didn't catch on their actual performance?
I don't know how they do in 2v2, but in 1s they definitely do extra damage on a map like crossroads, where flares reveal a great portion of the opponent's side.
Whether it's a flare or sexton issue, I don't know, but if something is not quite right with this doctrine.
Valentine spam might be a new strat, being abusive or not, I don't think it's OP.
LMAO, you guys, since when does OKW need an overhaul?
How many times do you have to tweak OKW? They are only overperforming because of certain doctrinal ability and volks damage output during blobs or while in green cover.
And raketens being invisible is not so much of a problem, everybody knows where and when to expect them, when you get used to the cheese.
