Before Ostwind was definitely nerfed and for quite a long time! It was not even a viable/proper option!
ostwind was perfectly fine, it was just unfavoured.. not underpowered.. the pIV was simply the better, all rounder, option, the correct approach to balance was to offer a more defined role for the unit rather than just being marginally better than the pIV against infantry, ie buff its moving accuracy slightly because axis are apparently too brain dead to figure out how to use it effectively in it's previous state and at the same time nerf the pIV AI to give both units more defined roles, the balance team has stupidly done the exact opposite
now both units are ridiculous
your bias is showing, how can you compare the ostwind to the centaur now, the ostwind is much quicker and now more effective against tanks and just as good against AI and it's cheaper..
ridiculous axis fanbois....
