Ostheer Gets tigers with BP3 no building at all
I think no need to repurchase panzer authoritarian is a good compromise between these other factions losing essential nothing if base buildings are destroyed, and the Entire OKW faction going down in flames if the building is lost mid game. (170 mp and 90 fuel to replace if authoritarian is permanent)
It is quite strong though and that could encourage more risky placement though. I have never much liked how it can be an all or nothing battle to kill the building when it can lock down half the map for a large amount of time if moderately defended.
Is it ideal to have games decided in a tech structure siege? What is the appropriate punishment for losing it and how much should it help you if you properly place it.
If it were up to me I'd lock it to base and make the truck free so the price matches USF and call it a day. OKW needs a free fuck off flak gun as much as USF needs free squads.
And no, it isn't ideal for an entire match be decided based on whether or not the OKW player can break the siege of the allies against their flak base. If you fail the game ends as you're overrun by cromwells/t34s/HE shermans. Succeed and you're guaranteed income for most of the match. It's pretty dumb.
As for appropriate punishment? With the current system I think 60/60F would be a good split and on top of that have a muni cost for the flak gun as a separate upgrade. I know miragefla made that upgrade when he made his mod, so it is very possible to do.
