I think IRSTG44 should be a default choice for Obersoldaten. Still do not get why it has to be doctrinal if it is limited to an elite unit only.

It needs some buffs for its underwhelming performance. I do not think the recent changes have improved Panzergrenadiers at all. It is just timing changes.

Performance needs to be looked over

I mean, all it needs is grens to have a 5-man squad, and cost 280. Gives them a new dynamic that also prevent them from being too easily wiped mid-late game.

OR... Make the Squad leader upgrade a stock upgrade. So they pay 60 munis for either a LMG42 (and stay 4man), or a 5th man and G43's.

When you think the USf and UKF get 2x LMG's per squad and 5 man squads, its not unreasonable. |

I mean, theres a lot of arguments in here like "Penals are the counterpart to P-Grens". But... think about it, the squad wipe potential is vastly different to output...

One mine = half a OST squad dead, = retreat.

2 snipers, and you have to run.

1 mortar shell or nade can easily wipe a squad...

Late game, a dozer sherman/HE round sherman, Scott, Pakhowitzer, Brit Centaur or even a IS2 can easily AND QUICKLY 1 shot a vet 3 gren squad....
As for a 5-6 man squad that aint gonna happen unless they position clump.


If you compensated cost for the 5th man of a gren squad, it would be fine. The only reason anyone would oppose that is either they dont play the game, or they're enjoying their allied win spree. (which trust me, ive done before, im not proud of it, was to prove a point).

You are very right indeed. They are the faction that has to retreat the most often. Unfair how they are just limited to a weapon upgrade compared to Tommies having 5 men and 2 brens. Default boost behind cover also providing additional performance. Even just having 5 man with upgrade is even better.

Still think Conscripts should get default PPSH, maybe a worse profile version. Take away their Oraah (sprint ability) and have upgrade option for them. Make them used more often.


Give Osteehr either access to armour upgrades or additonal weapon upgrades.

Pzgrens should have additional armour upgrades or a 5 man option. Since they drop fast. No weapon upgrades for them.


Grens should have maybe either a 5 man option with at least a weapon upgrade


and another option would be instead trade for more firepower


Can combine MG42 upgrade with G43, 4 man squad.

This will fix their issues for starters.

I mean flamethrower for USF Rear Echelon Troops and UKF Royal Engineers，and Ober IR44 upgrade.
My starting point is simple，most time we will not have more than 2 squads of them，and USF and UKF infantry can pick weapon from weapon rack，Ober already have MG34 upgrade，one commander ability for one infantry squad upgrade one （or two）weapon is waste
Now we got some new commander ability.....
So my suggest is....
Bundle USF flamethrower to Rear echelon rifle grenade（also change Rifle company）
Bundle UKF flamethrower to Assault Sections （also change Royal Engineer regiment and mobile assault regiment）
Bundle OKW IR.stg44 to Offensive Package（I know that was gone....so change Special OPS Doc....）

Do not forget to include Flamethrower for Sturmpio OKW.

I feel the units that are hardly used should get the abilities by default like those you have mentioned.
I do not quite understand why those should be locked behind a commander.

If we talk about Echelon, Engineers and Sturmpio. They are more or less used in many situations as a supportive unit but not a combat unit. Usually nobody gets more than 2 of those in game. So it would be therefore make sense for them to get flamethrowers with them by default. It is also very situational. Taking might cost you later games for vehicles to be snared or potentially losing squads. So, I do not see an issue for them getting flamethowers. It is called risky-gameplay in my opinion.

Maybe even Conscripts with PPSH upgrade but that Oraah ability (the sprint ability) would have to be removed. Otherwise it would be too OP, that is why it is not currently default. I would not mind that change personally. Make Conscripts used more often. Take away "sprint ability". Then we all would be happy.

MP40 upgrade for Volks be by default. It is not outstanding but would still be nice by default.

Grens G43, nothing special really. I still think MG42 is better. For grens specifically since they not getting any survivability buffs. Osteehr has issues overall. I believe a tech in which they could gain 2 or 3 G43 by default, in addition to having access to MG42 would most certainly solve their problems.

Weapons which should stay locked are those which are powerful and has no downsides in using them. Depends on how often its also used. The following mentioned should be accessible by default I believe.

If we talk about USF and UKF. If they get access to doctrine weapons by default like Vickers and M1919. They would simply become formidable. Even then the units scale pretty too strong late game when they can equip two proper weapons with 5 models. Better than 2 STG44 with Volks. It scales way better in comparison in performance. In my experiences. Those the rest mentioned above should be default I believe.

Or

for them to gain access to better weapons Vickers and M1919. They should cost additionally 15 to 30 ammo than it currently is by default! Limited to 1 of them only I think that would be fair and locked behind teching. So they can take only one elite weapon, can not have another weapon.

So the alternative would then be 1 elite weapon or 2 normal weapons.

Just fix current Osteehr. A lot focus is centred around Commanders. Fix Pzgrens and Ostwind. Underperforming for its price. They need fixes.

I do like the "Strategic Reserves" though with Assault Grenadiers at least being used more often. Here is a fix. Replace them with Pzgrens and surely we would be better off since Pzgrens are currently lackluster.

That is what Pzgrens definitely what it needs. To take less damage then it currently does or to make them survive better.

I still think their cost should be reduced to 300 manpower because there no is reason for them costing that much. If we talk about Obersoldaten, yes they deserve a cost of 340 manpower but definitely not Pzgrens for their overall lacking durability, capability, utility and firepower in comparison.

It needs changes. It will help boost Osteehr in some ways for their lacking units.

Fix Pzgrens
Fix Ostwind
Then, it will solve most of Osteehrs issues.
