During last several patches OH has benn buffed into cheat-faction.
1. starting MP buff - gave them 1 squad advantage right from the start for the whole game.
2. 222 and 251 buffs turn penals and M3 into shit, that no one uses anymore. And made teching to T3 easier in general
3. T3476 - previously key unit, have been removed from T3 (and from the game). That opened a huge window of oportunities for OH mediums and faction in general. Because one must be an idiot to lose p4 or ostwind only to ATGs on urban maps (most maps). P4 can survive 4 ATG shots - they are invinsible to any midgame unit mix. While the do huge dmg to anything.
4. Tank’s smoke and speed abilities - that allows any noob to save his tanks after careless play. What is the corresponding ability of 3485? There absolutely no ability of any use for 3485.
I can list more things that makes this faction blatantly OP. But not to waste time I say only about 4.
Anyone says to make a game suited for competititve play there must be close to equal oportunities for all sides. Ocf games showed that there is no counterplau vs OH thanks to recent direct and inderect buffs to this faction.
while the above are all true, the boost are still not enough. wehr is still the underdog in early game, unless it's against the brits.
the sov and usf light vehicle arrive too early and are too powerful. wehr have problem keeping up with just paks, 222, faust, and schreck.
the t34 is useless, but the sov meta game never really use it. the t34 have always been bad since the game's release.
