Vet 1: The TC opens the hatch and pops up with a PPSh, acting as a make-shift Top MG. Turret target acquisition is impaired (aim time increased) while active

Molotovs should be tossed every so often as well and if you upgraded AT Grenades, they throw those as well at nearby tanks. In fact, just make a conscript pop out of the top hatch and have him do conscript things including building of sandbags on the tank and even flare mines for a very weird defense option!

wtf is this

you are telling me that USF player will only field 1 pershing that cant fight a panther and cant take a beating for a heavy tanks cost????

we asked for the m26 pershing NOT a panther with a m26 pershing skin,if these stats are for the USF version of the heavy tank then they should not be limited and/or reduce the price of the tank

IF the above options dont sound good then buff the damage of the pershing to 240 and increase its armor to 360 and the HP to 900

i cant accept that a panther is better then a doctrinal heavy tank hp wise,armor wise,price wise and last but not least SPEED wise

One: You can't compare the Pershing with the Panther if they share similar stats. Panther is geared towards fighting tanks and always has been: it's almost(if not for the MGs) a dedicated tank hunter. Look at its stats: Low/no AOE, good range, high penetration, slow RoF, good armour and speed. The Panther is meant to engage other tanks. Even with the MG upgrades its still mediocre unless you can face all 3 MGs at the target.

The Pershing, looking at the stats, is more of a generalist. Its got a decent reload, looks to have good AOE (not sure on the AOE profile) compared to the Panther which has almost none, good penetration to deal with armour, good speed for a 'heavy' and I'm assuming it has good range (50) (wasn't there to watch and stats don't include the range. Furthermore it fits the USF of being somewhat fragile, but versatile, quick and generally hitting hard.

As for assaulting fortified position, sorry, but few if any tanks can assault a position with 2-3 ATGs in the area. You've got an army to support the Pershing and even smoke to protect the advance or retreat, use it. Even if they bumped the armour up slightly, it's still not going to protect the tank in a head-on assault against dedicated AT as the job of ATGs, TDs, etc are to engage tanks. Furthermore, this tank seems to be pretty good for nuking weapon crews/paks if the scatter is decent thanks to the AOE.

Penals are should be like expendable troops that can do the suicide attacks (not wipes!). Give them low reinforcement cost OR make them grant back manpower upon death.

Their reinforce is pretty low to begin with. Where's talking about 22.5 which I think is rounded rounded down to 22.

Personally I believe Penals should be better troops. SVT needs to be stronger at range especially now that Penals are less durable than vetted cons to gear them further into dedicated AI and probably give them good moving accuracy so they can more effectively fight on the move.

Sniper could maybe use a health buff from 48-64 per model so there's more of an advantage outside the expensive to reinforce two man squad and worse cloak.

M3 is fine.

During last several patches OH has benn buffed into cheat-faction.

1. starting MP buff - gave them 1 squad advantage right from the start for the whole game.

2. 222 and 251 buffs turn penals and M3 into shit, that no one uses anymore. And made teching to T3 easier in general

3. T3476 - previously key unit, have been removed from T3 (and from the game). That opened a huge window of oportunities for OH mediums and faction in general. Because one must be an idiot to lose p4 or ostwind only to ATGs on urban maps (most maps). P4 can survive 4 ATG shots - they are invinsible to any midgame unit mix. While the do huge dmg to anything.

4. Tank’s smoke and speed abilities - that allows any noob to save his tanks after careless play. What is the corresponding ability of 3485? There absolutely no ability of any use for 3485.

I can list more things that makes this faction blatantly OP. But not to waste time I say only about 4.

Anyone says to make a game suited for competititve play there must be close to equal oportunities for all sides. Ocf games showed that there is no counterplau vs OH thanks to recent direct and inderect buffs to this faction.

1.They get the same amount of squad as most people on the field.

Ostheer starts with 420mp, Soviets start with 390, USF with 400, Brits with 290 and OKW with 240.

Why does Ostheer get slightly more? Because the T1 buildings is generally expected to be built unless you're going pioneers/ostruppens and MGs only. Soviets generally start with 2-3 Conscripts before transitioning into their buildings which no longer break the bank in fuel and their first squads will reach the field sooner.

2. Not sure where you got the 251 buff from unless you mean flamethrowers, but the 222 has always been a counter to T1, always. You either protect those units from the 222 by using AT grenades, back-teching to ATGs, mines, or rushing out T3 which hardcounters Ostheer light vehicle play

3. Because you have a delusion that the SU-76 sucks I will say it again, Soviet T3 SU-76s do well against enemy armour and can pen them consistently and are cheap to produce. Also T-34 (which can take 4 ATG hits) can arrive around the same time if rushed, though the light vehicles generally do the job in a specific area far better.

4.Not every doctrine has smoke such as the popular Lightning War Doctrine. Bltizkrieg has always been a problem, but hey, even UKF has it and they don't need vet for it on some of the fastest tanks (Comets and Cromwell) in the game. Also smoke and bltiz have steadily gone up in price over the years so it's not as bad as launch.

Furthermore, you forgot to add Ostheer is the easiest faction to squad-wipe against factions that have plentiful AOE weapons.

I would say the PW is now what makes T4 useful. Heavy artillery or good non-doctrinal indirect-fire option outside of the mortar is what Ost really lacks until late game and it's probably the best way for Ost to clear out ATGs (especially Brit 6pdrs) without being forced to fight head-on or in a defensive position due to the nature of Ostheer revolving around its support weapons or infantry who generally excel at mid-long range.

Rest of the T4 units can generally be covered by their T3 counterparts more cost-efficiently, especially when it comes to engaging the majority of Allied armour which are mediums.
