I like a lot of these changes, MG for OKW is nice, firefly was so OP with the rockets before so also a good change, counter barrage was just a terrible idea so nerf is nice although now it seems it will be almost useless since its not going to be worth the muni as its so inaccurate it wont hit shit in 30 secs, it was too powerful before but I bet its rarely used now. Brummbar change good I like using this unit, RNG mines fix is so good, T34 buff is nice although increase in close range pen would be good.

Yes Volk blob needed nerf but no change to raketen seems short-sighted, as many have pointed out lack of AT infantry was one of the Sov major gripes I can see OKW just getting rolled by rifle/penal blobs into M5 and USA HT, especially since you will have 1 less volk squad for the rakketen. IMO it would have been much better to change the shrecks to an AT rifle of some sort to counter light vehicles and not enable late game blob. OKW now have so many anti infantry squads: volks, strums, obers, fusilers, falls, jaegers. I already thought that falls didn't gel well with the OKW style since the T4 change as you always have to get T4 so it kind of makes obers and falls competing units (yes they are slightly different but essentially do the same thing). When Jadpanzer was T1 for example you could delay T4 significantly and still have a balanced AT/AI army. Just like how fusilers where a nice addition to early volks play for extra AI that scaled but now once again they are directly competing for the same AI role what's the point? its just bad design just like how no one used penals for ages as they were basically slightly better cons just doing the same role so no real added value. What makes the game interesting and strategic is having units that differ so that you have to create a balanced force and micro effectively. Not having like 5-6 units all doing the same or similar things or 1 unit that does everything.

IMO there have been alot of these style patches where relic makes well intentioned balance changes but forgets that some of these reverse or nullify prior changes and/or make other units kind of pointless to ever use.

OP as fuck....discuss

SO brace is ridiculous engineers can repair faster than you can kill it with 2x at gun mortar and infantry... It makes all the emplacements OP especially avre commander with the hax repairs its impossible to kill them. seriously 2x MHT continually firing at a mortar emplacement they got Vet 3 from just continually firing at it and they still couldn't kill it.

Churchill is just a joke, 1600 hp and what Armour? it bounces almost everything, same with crocoldile the anti everything tank....

Avre, lol drives up to tank bounces all shots and 1 shots your p4 or almost kills your panther.

Agree 3+ snipers is just silly and is what alot of 1v1 games degenerate into vs soviets, as soon as I see 3 or more snipers I just quit and look for an actual fun match. Couldn't give a shit about rank anymore with all the bs cheese would rather just have a fun game even if I still lose.

I have also played vs a few ostheer sniper blobs recently which is arguably just as hard to counter if you went T2 as soviets.
