I did a bit of testing with the new patch, and I've found out that the Obersoldatens aren't the killing machines the Allied fanboys make them out to be. I played a few matches where I had a few Obersoldaten squads behind cover, and they were facing off against 3 rifles with BARS. Needless to say, the rifles defeated my Obersoldatens, so i'm very curious as to where these people get these delusions that Obersoldatens melt both cover and infantry. Granted, this is anecdotal evidence but it helps establish a clearer picture; the Obersoldatens aren't OP but rather UP so hopefully Relic will buff them next patch so OKW can be viable in a 2v2 setting.

The Obersoldatens were spared death this patch, but i'm very concerned that next patch, Relic will officially kill them and they won't be the best infantry in the game.

You : "Oh dont add Pershing better add the much more boring and weaker Jumbo". USA ARE NOT ALLWOED TO HAVE AT LEAST 1 GOOD TANK".

Jumbo is shit compared to the Pershing. Pershing is better at everything.

Just out of curiosity, why do zooks need to be as bad as they are currently? Is it for fear of rifle blobs being too good against all targets? I find them to be ok at killing light vehicles like Pumas and half tracks and what not and when combined with at guns they are mildly effective at discouraging flanks from medium tanks but they're not even remotely scary for anything bigger.

Even then, they seem to miss and bounce off of p4 frontal all of the time. Putting a zook on anything but an RE gives up a lot of AI power and currently the trade off seems really underwhelming. When I put a shriek on a volks, I always feel it's worth it, when I buy a zook I often feel I wasted munis.

You would be correct about the two, the puma variant however didnt leave the factory though if I remember right. However the 5cm gun is capable of penning 69mm at 100m. The Sherman had 51 mm of hull frontal armor. Either way, the Sherman was too thin and the German guns could pen it. The hellcat can only pen so much and the panther was one of the heaviest armored tanks in the war.
