Germany
-Raise fuel price of OKW T4 from 60 fuel to 90 fuel
-Decrease fuel price of the T4 Panzer Authorization upgrade form 60 fuel to 30 fuel
- Lock Obers including LMG 34, JP4 and doctrinal Ostwind + Flame Hetzer behind T4 and Panzer IV and Panther behind the Panzer Authorization upgrade
- Make the Flak gun disabled until Panzer Authorization is upgraded as it is in the current version
What does this do?
It gives OKW easier access to the JP4 which is helpful for games where OKW is struggeling to get ressource as all their tech + tanks are very expensive. And losing momentum is extremly punishing because of it.
It also makes LMG Obers come slightly faster. Obers without LMG are not cost-efficient and have NOT proven to be helpful so they are almost never used. Yes Obers even without LMG are pretty strong compared to vet 0 infantry but they are facing vetted and upgraded Allied infantry and without LMG they just bleed MP and feed vet as the 40MP per model reinforcement cost is balanced around LMG Obers.
Ostwind and Flame Hetzer will now arrive at the right time. Currently the Flame Hetzer arrives at the same time as the Ostheer P4 which is just too late for a 640 HP AI only vehicle without turret. OKW Ostwind also arrives too late in OKW's tech structure so it's never used despite being in a decent doctrine. This change would make the OKW Ostwind arrive at a similar timing of the Ostheer variant. So with my idea the Flame Hetzer and Ostwind would arrive around 30 fuel faster which is around one to two minutes.
Should be very simple to implement this and would help OKW become viable again.
