Have fun investing 50 of your population cap into two vehicles. Map control is going to shift into the other teams favor quickly.

Not to mention that picture shows 260 + ?290? fuel invested with a decreased income.

In 4v4s each player only really needs to hold 1 key area most of the time, so having 2 heavy tanks at the same time really isn't a disadvantage.

And fuel income in big team games is always high. Getting two heavies as OKW is no special feat in the average 45 minute 4v4.

I can count the amount of times Iv had it used against me since the last patch on 1 hand. I mean it's used, but not as much as it should be considering it's effectiveness.

A better way to phrase what I mean might be that the Snipers high cost makes it a hard sell when Allied counters such as light vehicles hit the field very, very early which can be hell for an average player to deal with if they went with a sniper build.

Remember snares don't work against full health vehicles now; so it's not hard to rush past a gren squad to get at a sniper.

You can see if a soviet player made T1 through the FoW. Against USF, you have to play a little bit safer once the game hits the 5 minute mark to see if you don't get m20 rushed.

Snares work just fine on light vehicles. The only vehicles with more than 400hp will not get snared by a single panzerfaust.

An entire tier being unaccessible in 2v2 and 1v1 doesn't seem broken to you? Like would USF not being able to go Major in 1v1 or 2v2 be acceptable? What about Soviets? I would be more than happy with T3 costing more and T4 costing more less.

BP's being 100 mp wouldn't magically give Ostheer the fuel it needs to rush, it would just mean Ostheer isn't constantly at a huge MP disadvantage compared to other factions.

Ostheer BPs are not that expensive once you consider that LMGs, rifle grenades, panzerschreks and Panzerfaust are already included.

If a soviet player wants upgrades conscripts, a sniper and an AT gun, the manpower required for tech is 250 for the conscripts, 160 for the sniper and another 160 for the AT gun. Compared to the Ostheers flat 400mp investment, and that includes more units, more unit upgrades, and units that are individually superior to their soviet counter parts.

In later tech, Ostheer has solid AT and AI in their tank tiers compared to soviets, who have AI focus in one and AT focus in another. Ostheer also has the heaviest non-doctrinal units in the game bar the OKW KT.

With Ostheer you have a huge variety of viable units for a relatively cheap tech price. The only downside is that you HAVE to purchase BPs in a strict order, and can't, say, skip infantry upgrades in favor of a faster tank. You CAN'T just make Ostheer tech cheaper and expect it to be balanced.

I wonder if people realize werh now has the best sniper in t1, the best hmg in t1 and the best mortar in t1.

Now all we need is cheaper Ostheer tech and the game will be finally balanced.

Killing MG42 / MG34 in house isn't hard.
Maxim in house is a bitch to kill.

It teleports from windows to windows.

Wasn't there a patch a long time ago that made both HMGs re position at the same speed when in buildings?

The arch itself changes directly, and it always has. However, the MG still needs 4 second to reposition before it will fire.
