I think the changes are ineffective : CP is an irrelevant changes, since you have the tech and ressources to get the heavy tank around 11-12 CPs.

5) OKW changes

Problem is well known. Falls are the best infantry unit in the game, can counter everything, can cloack etc.... removing panzerfaust is a good step, but elite infantry costing the same as Obers at 2 CP, that can paradrop and cloack ambush? definitely a no. Falls is elite infantry and should be tied to t4 as Obers are. Locking the upgrade at T4 isn't effective enough.
Halftrack changes are a good idea : a cheap spotting ability, cannot hide as much anymore.

Sorry for long post, hope it helps the balance team

Agree about the heavy tanks. I have said this so many times recently. Changing the CP requirement to 11 is almost completely meaningless for 2v2 because LV + tech+ 230 fuel for heavy tank doesn't come earlier than 10-13 CP unless the game is super one-sided and one side has an insane resource income. So no the 11 CP change will fix nothing.

I would even go as far as saying making heavy tanks 15 CP + all tech wouldn't change much because heavy tanks are absurdly op right now. Their infantry killing capacity is just too high while at the same time rendering medium and premium medium tanks useless. Unless heavy tanks are nerfed we will continue seeing them every game. Maybe a few minutes later than now but that will be the only difference.

Regarding Fallschirmjäger, I really disagree. They should be fine once the snare is removed. We shouldn't forget Shocks, Guards and Rangers all come at 2 CP and are even stronger than Falls for a while because they don't have their weapons locked behind T4.

Especially Shocks are way more powerful at 2 CP because of how little damage regular infantry can do to them. They basically render Volks and Grens useless on certain maps. At least Rangers can be killed easier but Shocks are just cancer IMO.

Right, snipers definitely give OKW a headache. But given that Brits would have to spend 460 manpower on the Sniper and wait to build any units while it was teching, do you think the matchup would be that painful?

It would make more sense going 3 Sections into sniper than going sniper first vs OKW. Going sniper first against OKW is a horrible strategy because you pretty much hand over the entire map for the next five minutes.

Why is this? Once the T4 is destroyed you have to build it again to call in the Jagdtiger.

I think this is massively unfair considering the KT doesn't need this either and for good reason. The unit isn't build in T4 and the 135 fuel you invested in T4 should be enough to be allowed to call it in regardless if it is destroyed or not.

I mean this is the least you could do for this unit considering how utterly terrible it still is. It gets frontally penned by the same Allied TDs it's meant to counter and considering the slow movement speed in combat you feel like the JT is often more the hunted instead of the hunter.

Not even mentioning the fact that it gets deleted by both ISU doctrines even though it's meant to counter ISU.

I said it before and I will say it again the JT rework that was done in one of the last big balance patches is garbage. The unit hasn't improved at all in 2v2.

It's no surprise it doesn't see much use because every time I see it used or use it myself it's just not cutting it.

And while we are at it, 7 man Cons+Shocks+ ISU/IS2 + Katjusha + SU 85 is braindead OP, nerf the fucking Soviet late-game it's the most unbalanced shitfest in COH2 right now. As Axis you literally ALWAYS have to go Tiger to even stand a chance at this point. Ele + spotting scopes is a legit alternative for Ost but OKW has literally one useable doctrine at the moment if you don't want to get utterly stomped by Soviets and USF in late game.

Can't we also make mortars a little better than they currently are? IMO they all underperform massively.

At least make the smoke barrage more responsive so it doesn't take ages for them to fire a stupid smoke shell in front of an MG.

Also maybe reduce scatter on the barrage? It seems very unreliable to try and counter MGs with it and that's the main purpose of a mortar after all. Not sure if it's good design that you try to barrage an MG and after a full barrage you still haven't done any significant damage.

I don't see what would be so bad about the OP's suggestion. I do agree the G43 Grens need some sort of buff and this could help them.

Giving them a crit-rifle like the one from Jäger Light is a horrible idea. No mainline infantry should have that.
