The MG34 is already a T0 MG in the update, it just requires tech and you're basically sacrificing your T0 production and was already basically possible with the doctrines, well, at least in custom games with High Resources. But I don't see the Brits or Wehr being OP, Brits just have problems dislodging garrisons while USF have smoke and Soviets also have flamethrowers and mortars, Wehr has rifle grenades and mortars while OKW has the Sturmpioneers and Volk flamegrenades, so no, I wouldn't say it would be batshit OP plus you don't have any evidence to prove what you're saying, as I don't either since I already made it in my mod but it uses an entirely different balance than the vanilla game.

I am aware the mg is t0 and requires tech but as i am typing on a phone i didn't bother with an indepth post.

The reason for delaying the okw mg with tech is to avoid situations where you have an mg/sp combo at the start of the game. It is almost with monotonous regularity that okw sends Spio to allies cutoff at the start of the game (1v1).
That in itself is annoying but it would be broken if okw could build 2 mgs, sending them straight to allies cutoff while the kubel cruises around capping everything, then following up with fast luchs which allies cannot counter or at the very least are forced to go at gun because okw has totally dominated the opening.

Part 3.

Sniper fighting in area under fire from scotts.



Sniper is soon dead. Shock horror.



Command tank Diving.


Grens blobbing under fire from 2 scotts. Most people know what will happen here.



End of game. No med bunker or t3.


The axis player fails to properly respond to the threat of the stuart and then trys to fight scotts with infantry and command tank. The other important fact is the axis player is behind from about 6.30 due to 3 squad wipes all at same time. As i previously said, the axis player made incorrect choices for this game.

It follows that using this replay to demonstrate the op'ness of the stuart and the scott is biased and factually incorrect.

In hindsight I could have been less derogatory and instead taken the time to explain why this post is a very poor example of a particular unit being OP.

The simple fact is, the axis player made some poor choices during the game and did not respond correctly to the units that fortune was building. I think most people who watch the replay will agree that the game was over once the Stuart wiped two squads and therefore all play that follows is largely irrelevant or at best unreliable.

Part 1 ( due to multiple pics ).
Axis player goes early flame half track as first unit out of T2. He has no idea until now what allies player has teched to. He also has no AT or defensive mines at this point.


Flamer retreats while gren tries to faust. Note low health and lack of supporting units specifically another gren squad to faust stuart if it decides to chase..


Almost dead gren retreats after failing to faust. Mg bails from house and retreats using the same retreat path that the gren is using. It is clearly evident what will happen next.


Stuart can safely drive into base. Note army size of both sides. The game is more or less over at this point.

OMG, what a steaming pile of shit.

Did you actually watch the replay.

The axis player gets caught out badly going for flame half track because he has no AT to fight fast Stuart, meaning the Stuart can safely pursue retreating squads into base. Something all factions can do.

Secondly, all axis units are low health meaning high probability of wipes.

The game is basically over once axis player looses multiple squads to stuart.

The rest of the game, the axis player is behind and fighting with an army half the size of the allies. OFC scotts will be effective.

Provide a real replay where the game is more evenly matched and I may give some consideration to what you have to say but at the moment you present as a biased imbecile.

Am I missing some context

Aside from stereotyping no. But it is standard for the majority of asian players to equip doctrines that come with heavy armour.
