Shouldn't units be about having strengths and weaknesses and the overall success you have with them being dependent on how you use them? Use a unit to its strength and you'll be successful, deploy them without thinking and you'll be punished?

I'd hate a game where unit A will win 100% of the times against unit B simply because unit A costs more. Unit A should win because I play it to its strength.

Look at Shocks and how boring they used to be. Just run up to a LMG Gren squad and you would win, now running in clear field with shocks against LMG grens is a good way to loose Shocks. However, flank with the shocks and get in close without exposure and they'll make minced meat out of the grens.

Same principle should apply to the Obersoldaten (and seriously change that stupid name it sound ridiculous.) Facing another infantry unit shouldn't mean the allies would have to retreat instantly but the allies should have a way to out-micro the Germans.

Kinda feels like the WFA was balanced according to pre-march patches.

There's a reason they're called "Obersoldaten" and are the ultimate infantry counter, but as I mentioned both the US and the Russians have counters(Mainly combined arms) so it's not as if they're terminators that can destroy every unit on the battlefield.

Well, I spent a good hour or so playing around with the new German faction and I have to say that they're well balanced. The Obersoldaten definitely shouldn't be nerfed because it was designed to hard counter any infantry the enemy could field, and it's not as if they're invincible; there are counters and even a light armoured vehicle can completely halt an advance by the Obersoldaten.
