Recently I played a few games with ostruppen for fun. I agree on a lot of the above and the only changes I think would do ostruppen good are;
1. Chancing the accuracy buff in cover to a RA buff in cover.
2. The LMG42 upgrade could be removed, at that point(BP3+) in the game it doesn't do that much anyway.
Since ostruppen mostly consist out of deserters from the USSR it might even be more themeactical to let them have DP28's?
Ostheer’s main weakness is the LV phase. I think some kind of AT package for Pioneers would be a very positive change, something locked out by flamethrowers but not mine sweepers. Perhaps they could carry nerfed (with lower accuracy, pen, damage) panzeshreks or stolen PTRS rifles.
Just 1 PTRS would do (the 1 the PanzerGrenz use in the ToW missions)?
1 Panzershreck would look alot like the Sturmpio upgrade and that upgrade locks out the sweeper and repair boost.
CE -> CE -> special rifle -> penal -> sniper -> penal -> T70 building.
first CE builds the special rifle command, the second CE starts capping and mining the map, first CE joins to cap & mine the place after building the special rifle command. Penals work as AI (later AT) and distract the enemy while the sniper goes for the 50 kills. Leave the penals as much as possible in green cover so the sniper has time to take some shots before you lose the second/third model. PTRS works wonders vs 222 or luchs so I mostly skip the T70 and go straight for a T34/76.
