I would tend to agree with this.
A lot of people talk about spamming maxims as the only viable counter, which in itself shows just how ridiculous this situation is.
I think with some clever play you can mitigate a volk blob somewhat. I tend to go Is2 and shocks (whatever commander called...) and hiding an At gun or two with hold fire and camo to spot for an AA Ht in the back is quite good then cleaning up on retreat with some shocks can wipe a squad or 2. This is also good for when they come to get the Ht with armour. Wait for the first penetrating shot then take out the fucking drive chain!
it's not just Volks being so effective either that's a problem. I've played quite a few 1s lately where I've taken out a Luchs then a panther only to find a Stuka in the back (which can game you if you don't watch all those maxims!) then a KT rolling out and sitting on a VP but I'm so drained for MP that I have to cling to my IS2 like it's the only one left! (Nothing better than manually aiming that sucker just in front of a blob).
There seems to be little to no risk, strategy wise, for the OKW in the early game and now they don't suffer from a late game shortage either. The number of players YOLO'ing armour into ambushes is perverse and only illustrates how little thought the current design for the faction dictates.
What I always wondered also. Why on the graph of army value do the OKW start above everyone else?
