Aren't you the same guy from the official forum who only plays AI skirmish and cry that everything is OP?
This topic is hilarious tbh. Germans are not bad, I would say they are much stronge now than they were a patch ago. I still didn't make up my mind in regards to Shock Troops and Guards being 1cp, as I need more games and we are in holiday season right now. Personaly I don't have problems dealing with ST using German T1, but oveall balance can be affected because of this.
I watched the famous OMGPOP! game and he simply outplayed his opponent so yes, you can even spam T-43/85 when you are dominating.
Speaking of T-34/85, it can fight equal fight with PzIV but to call it OP, only because it can fight back or actually penetrate Panther frontaly?
It beasts the P4s, because they are cheaper to get and they come in pairs, even Guard Motor has marked target ability + guards who can button so.........goodnight for that P4.
Also, you forgot that the russians can easily wipe out the german squads, vice versa the germans struggle killing the russian squads (I dunno who had the idea to give the russians flame tanks and HE shells when the germans need them much more). This puts the germans on the backfoot.
