OKW is better than Ostheer, but it's not OP

I actually like this idea. It's not overpowered considering the nerfs made by Karbinder in addition to the buffs.

It will only work vs. static targets (ggwp Brits)

It's funny how it is always the players that almost play Axis exclusively tend to be the most obnoxious sore losers in game. But this trait seems to carry over from other ww2 themed games, where these kids that role-playing to be baddass SS-grenadiers just expect everyone to bend over to their miraculous elite wunderwaffe SS army.

I know there are good sporting chaps out there playing Axis, but god i'm so f*cking tired of these easy strat abusing c*nts that can't contain their arrogance and bile and resort to say stuff like "run little b*tch" "kek" "l2p" every time they have the upper hand by abusing the typical OKW bs.

Why is it always the those SS larping arsewhipes that do that?

I can name a few from the top of my head

Someone add this to guides

Exactly the same thing when you are against an okw / ostheer ? block line of sight

pretty sure you would love to pop some smoke from your badly damaged sherman if a jackson or an ez8 is chasing it...


has no usf .50 cal??? can´t smoke from rifles be usefull to shut down a .50 cal????




I get it that mirror machtes are not good but come on, and I´m with the most of you in this, but..... let´s give to the OP goood reasons to not do it...

Not a good point. Smoke would still be good in USF vs SOV or SUF vs UKF so an ability that is good in 4 out of 5 matchups aint bad. Which bring me to another reason why your point is bad: there are plenty of abilities/units/commanders in this game which only work in a select set of matchups.

Having said that, I would absolutely hate mirror matches. I already dislike it enough that Soviets can team up with western allied forces. Mirror matches would break immersion even more.

That's not my point. Smoke grenades were given to Riflemen because Riflemen are supposed to smoke & flank and are supposed to be mobile at all times. This only works properly versus defensive factions. A .50 cal can't be smoked, that is one of the most mobile MGs in the game with a really good setup/pickup time designed around attack moving.

Smokes would be good versus bunkers, MG42s/34s, Shwerer HQs, static tanks such as Panthers or JP4s instead of highly mobile units such as M10s, .50 cals, M20s, M15AA, Shermans, etc. USF doesn't even have defensive emplacements besides the Fighting Pit which can die to small arms fire.

As I said in my original post, I was talking about design. Each faction was designed to counter the opposing team, that's how the game was designed, assymetrical balance. If you make it symmetrical all of a sudden you get huge design issues.

For ex. Bazookas can be overpowered versus Allied tanks because Allied tanks have less HP and less armor, so each Bazooka round would penetrate. In terms of DPS the Bazooka is better than the Panzershrek if all rounds penetrate, when you have two on Riflesquad with AT grenades you get terrible balance issues vs. Shermasn, T34/76s, etc. The only reason why its weaker versus Axis is because they tend to have more armor.

More examples: Did you know the Panzer IV has more armor but less penetration than the Sherman? It doesn't seem that way because a Sherman vs. P4 is usually in favor of the P4 (especially P4-J) because of its higher armor value. A Sherman needs more penetration or else its useless because Axis mediums and heavies all have really high armor. Now what happens when a P4 versus an Axis tank opposed to the usual Allied paper armor? It's rendered useless with a penetration value smaller than a Sherman's. It wouldn't stand a chance versus JP4s, Panthers, Tigers because it wouldn't even penetrate. It's not a mobile tank either so how do you flank an Axis tank with a P4? Hmm.

It's elementary guys, it's not hard to figure out why assymetrically balanced/designed factions would suck if changed to symetrical.
