----------
This unit is low-tech (T2) And cheaper than a T34.
For High end Allied Armor, you use the Panther. Which can eat a Pershing Solo.
It used to eat everything allied solo and win easily doing so.

They nerfed it so you couldn't do that anymore. Please adjust.
Every vehicle medium and below : Use StuG. It still eats Churchill and any KV-Family tank.
So be a man. Make a Panther.

I would try the following:
Redesign Penals to be good at only 1 range.
Nerf Guards either as CP 2 mediocre multi-role unit or as CP 3 "elite" unit
Redesign Volks to be good at only 1 range.

Riflemen should be top dog for their time frame.

Reduce the AI of shreck Pg and their cost spawning with 2 ST+ 2 K98 reduce cost so that they can soft counter allied elite infantry.

as for timing:
Increase window of opportunity of armored cars reduce their shock value, introduce 221 as a soft counter armored cars.

Increase window of opportunity of light tanks reduce their shock values, redesign ostwind as counter to light tanks.

Increase the window of opportunity of Medium tanks.

Delay premium mediums, Heavy TD, Super heavy tanks.

OKW is designed with their income penalty in mind. They are designed to be able to counter enemy armour no matter their fuel income. Of course they can't face down the hardest allied target with ease, that's literally the point of that tank. Allies have higher pen TDs because Axis have a NUMBER of high armour targets in their core roster. Across all the allies only the brits hammer and anvil tiers have stock units over 200 armour. That's 2 units that are mutually exclusive across 3 factions.... Okw has 4 by themselves. 1 faction has double the high armored units than the 3 opposing factions combined.. Of course the other side has higher pen TDs.

Shrek on sturms was never designed to be. It was only put there because a Rak, a puma, a 60 range TD and a panther were simply not enough AT for the masses. I don't like the Shrek on sturms and I don't use the Shrek on sturms, but that doesn't mean it's not an option if need be. Against the Is-2 one shouldn't be expecting a single unit to be countering it like one shouldn't expect a single unit to counter the KT (this is a reason I think the KT is UP, and have in the past requested its armour bump to at least 400)

Rear armour on all heavy armour was dropped also, so flanking is always an option (another reason the slow ass KT should have its armour upped)

OKW isn't helpless but everyone wants the best way to do things to be frontal assault. Heavy tanks are supposed to dissuade that. Allied TDs have been overbuffed to bypass that but that's a symptom of a shitty pen system that means even a final tier TD could likley do nothing at all against a number of units it was designed to counter. Add deflection damage to all high end TDs and drop their pen so armour can be a thing again.

I don't think it would be broken, but also think that what it really needs is to have the AA ability improved. At Vet 0, it seems almost worthless for AA. At Vet 3, it sometimes shoots down planes in a their first pass. I've watched it in comp stomps and seen it not fire at planes or unable to rotate the turret fast enough to fire at planes. Maybe just moving some or all of the rotation bonus from Vet 3 to Vet 0 would make this okay.

That said, it is interesting how this thread has so many replies yet there isn't any similar thread about the USF AA halftrack. To put it in comparison, for 30 more mp than the Ostwind, you can purchase a USF AA halftrack that has 1/2 as much health, 1/7 as much armor, and moves slower (at least in game - IRL the M15 was almost twice as fast). Even at that, people complained when the USF halftrack had a 360 degree firing arc so now the main armament only fires to the rear.
