I have an idea for different teching for infantry units for OKW. Restructure OKW units for balancing purposes.

Change Volks particularly and maybe Sturmpio.

From 5 models to 4 models by default.
Infantry base damage Karbine98 increased from 12 to 16 damage.
Have also a "**infantry bolster squad**" package available for OKW like UKF in order to increase model size, same price or more, depends.
Weapon upgrade instead is MP40, take away STG package.
Take fire grenade away for a normal grenade by default. Make it more of an AI or one kind of unit instead of versatile both kind of unit.
Take away Sandbags build for Volks, Sturmpios should have it instead if necessary.
Kar98 long or MP40 short range focus options.

Volks with **Kar98**, similar to Tommies, should cost if changed to that way to 280 manpower. Like Tommies, when behind cover, get instead accuracy boost, decrease rate of fire, faster reload, to make it more interesting. Should have similar stats to Tommies. Get one normal Steilhandgranate like what Panzerfusiliers have. Maybe should have upgrade for longer range MG34 to make it more accessible, MG34 should be available when you have either Mechanized base or Panzer Korp base. SHOULD HAVE PANZERFAUST for long ranged unit.

Volks with **upgrade MP40**, they still get behind cover boost but instead of the Steilhandgranate get the Fire grenade, makes sense since they are to be more aggressive. No smoke grenade since it would be too OP. Package should cost 60 ammo max. SHOULD NOT HAVE PANZERFAUST for short range unit.

The only unit that would have STGs is Sturmpio, can increase model to 5 man squad also which would be costy for them still, compensated. Have to make a grenade at least available to them, do not know exactly which, maybe stun grenade available only when Vet1 or something else. It is fair since Volks in reality were not all deadly or experienced or that versatile as they seem in game. They did in reality have short range firepower, so I think it would better for them if they only got MP40 package as an option instead. Sounds great right.


**SO in this sense it wont make Volks a such a versatile unit**.

You have a choice between upgraded MP40 for Flame nade for aggressive push AI purposes
or
Default K98 long range for a Panzerfaust.


What you guys think about this for a balance or change?

Bolster should stay doctrinal imo. What really needs to be done is bringing other factions in line with Ostheer instead of buffing everything. If survivability increase is really needed, then either damage reduction against explosives or slight hp increase for models after BP2 or 3.

I think Brits having the Bolster Squad is too OP especially what many other upgrades they can get. They get medkit (can be used multiple times once purchased) or coordinated fire upgrade plus 1 but 2 Brens guns plus Bolster Squad. So many upgrades that makes it like a Panzergrenadier but better in every way. Is that not OP. Try to use Sniper but get counter sniped. No chance, game over. They have buildings and abilities to increase repair speed, game over. From cover to cover, game over. Try to destroy emplacement, they brace structure, get countered, game over Wehrmacht especially for OKW. OKW has a better chance but Wehrmacht usually hardly.

Holding Fuel points MP points with Bofors + Anti Tank guns emplacement, game over. Usually 2v2 and above since they hold early-mid even late, but that is too late to counter then.

I think Bolster Squad Infantry for Brits should be doctrinal. Why should they get Bolster Squad, please tell me why they need it that bad? This would balance the game actually if they had only accessible to one General like Wehr does. They already are better by default without Bolster Squad.

Watch Stuve_Coh2 twitch streamer. He is just unstoppable as Brits, the accessibility is insane.

Buff accuracy
Buff rate of fire, because it shoots faster in reality, even you can see in Warthunder, pretty accurate source I would say
Buff reload time needs to be faster, it is quite slow for a small clip, if the clip is bigger which it should be, then leave the way it is


Currently it misses 1/3 to 1/4 of its shots ending up behind the squad, damage is good but the fact is it misses to often. I have really rely upon the MG, face the front (chassis) in order to deal consistent damage. It simply needs to fill its role as AI which it fails to do in comparison to Centaur.

Centaur UKF its counter performs more consistently and even better for its similar price performing if not twice as much as Ostwind. It is simply more deadlier than Ostwind.

Ostwind needs these buffs, either two of them would be great but accuracy really is of the utmost importance.

Actually, OKW mortar LeiG18 is the weakest although has a bit more range, deals the weakest damage in game compared to every other mortar in game.

I posted this forum discussion https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/245809/okw-leig-18-mortar

You will find some extra details there

LEIG 18 does around 180-190 damage dead center on a squad while wehr mortar does around 230-240 damage. Huge difference right. Buff LEIG18 instead.

Wehr mortar is better than LeiG 18
