No But Seriously.

I have played now over a 100 games with OKW in 1v1. Here is my thoughts.

The game starts out as an upward battle. Sturmpios are great in some situations are the main DPS at the start. But its not long untill you start getting overwhelmed by rifles or scripts.

You can try and go the volks route, but they just do not cut it. The grenades are great, but you must first use 200 mp and 40 fuel to unlock them, and 30 munitions is a hefty price considering the resources the OKW get. Also if you use grenades you are left with no munitions for shreks or mines and will get torn apart by vehicles of any kind.

Kubelwagon. Yeah its great at the start, you lose capping power, you spend alot of time microing and 90% of games it will die within 5 mins due to an M3, M10, at nade or jst small arms fire.

Sturmpio's, making more than 2 is just a huge manpower drain, they take forever to build and reinforce too.

Callin's are your best friend really, access to real MG's and decent infantry. Making OKW abit like Soviets in that they are commander reliant.

Anyway the main trouble i have is the fact you have to choose between AI or AT. If there are rifles everywhere all armed with LMG's or Shocks running around chewing you up. Your choices to counter them all cost fuel.

1.)Tech to T3 and get Stuka or Flak.

2.)Tech to T4 and get Obers or Sturmtiger.

This leaves you with only 2 AT options early on, Shreks and Raktenwerfers. Neither of these are reliable AT. (Arguments incoming.....) No but seriously, the raktenwerfer unless garrisoned is killed soo easily. (also dies in houses pretty easy too) Shrek volks, well it's 90 Munitions that translates into 135 due to 66% income. For 1 Shrek!

So if you decide to go AI you leave yourself vunerable to Armour.

You could choose to go AT instead.

1.)Grab yourself an early couple of Pumas.

2.)Skip tech and jst get a couple of jagdpanzers.

3.)Or save the whole game to get a panther.

All of these options leave you totally vunerable to Infantry.

I find myself holding out the whole game to get a KingTiger every game because i want something that has AI and AT. Just like a Sherman, T34 85 or Tiger.

This is my opinion on the problems OKW have at the moment. And the Ladders don't lie.

I know, i know. You can't win with skill and positioning, u just have select group and A move. Rifle win against sturms if used correctly. When i play against top players they dn't blob. So its not what it is.

Without the Inf gun this game woulda been over quickly, Soviets dominate OKW atm imo.

So i'm battling for some map control fighting off hordes of scripts and shocks and its approaching the 8 cp mark.

I know there will be armour coming soon, either a fat KV8 or some T34's.

I am 50 fuel short of a panther so i make 2 AT guns to stall the inevitable.

I place them staggered, facing the direction i guess the first tank will roll in. Theres infantry out in front to spot.

A lone T34 is on the horizon heading towards me, straight into my trap.

It comes closer and the first rocket is launched, it keeps coming.

The fusilers try desperately to snare it, but it strolls on past, past the AT guns, killing the poor soldiers who were trained in destroying these pieces of metal.

2 lonely AT guns are left on the field as the T34 finishes its circling.

Please give these things some love Relic!!! Maybe more damage with less scaling with vet. It's not right that a tank can come straight up to 2 of them and survive.

Oh yeah your right. Only 500 mp. People should just build 3 of them. Covers large area of map? it covers like one point. Maybe if it had a faster turning speed the range is not needed.
