Overall I think the changes that made it are the ones I agreed with. Glad relic is keeping the mod from going a tad overboard. They did miss some good changes however but I can't complain. I prefer fewer changes at a time as opposed to loads all at once. Thank-you relic for staying fairly conservative with the changes

I still disagree with the elephant and pwerfers changes. Funny how the nerfs to Pwerfer and elephwnt came through but not the buffs .

Very happy about the maximum buff and dhsk/penal nerf. I wish SU mortar got its buff tho.

Good changes to Brit mortar.

Good change to Jackson as well.

+1. Thanks to bugsplat people like Devm would have a permanent ban to this game

And ranks would be slightly different too.
Honestly my least favorite part of coh2.

If they didn't have such terrible optimization such that people crash everyday then maybe this could be a thing.but that's not happening.

The problem with ostheer is that they lack aggression without vehicles.
Early game aggressive ostheer play requires either g43s, double 222s or a flame Half-track that the enemy isn't prepared for.

Mid game aggression requires medium tanks which means p4 since stug can't pressure infantry at all and ostwind sewers you when they get a medium tank.

Late game means brummbarr, Pwerfer and panthers which is where ostheer starts to shine but in 1s it's nearly impossible to get to. In 2s it's hard but more doable with an OKW mate or if ost ally went heavy t3.

In team games ALL of ostheers aggression is hard countered by the allied TDs with 60 range when they reach critical mass and force a retreat before you can take a shot. And your reward for not losing your tank is getting to enjoy the longest repair times with the least efficient and task burdened engineers in the game.

When I play Ostheer in team games I more often than not find myself getting an elephant and pwerfers since I can strike back without getting ruined by allied meta.

TLDR: ost relies on vehicles for aggression, Allies have loads of counters to all tanks (they need it to compete with okw armor) and ost repair times are really bad. 1v1 meta is callins and t3, team game meta is t4 and elephant to find some form of aggression. Another possibility is using lefh to counter allied rocket artillery and TD spam but make sure they can't kill it.

That's my analysis of ostheer.


Ostheer does well with okw since they provide the hammer you can attack with.
Ostheer is turtle play and okw is more aggressive so they function well together.

I feel like killing the OKW schwere hq will be the deciding factor in so many games... Even more than it is now since it's required for kt
