After some discussions with my friend he noted that the drop is too weak and redundant.

He notes that the MG34 is too weak and should be replaced by an MG42 while the AT gun is redundant because of the Osttruppen's Panzerfaust plus more often than not you go for T2 to get Halftracks out so you can reinforce in the field which is a major problem if you don't, especially with Osttruppen.

His opinion is that it should be replaced by either a mortar (like in CoH) or a LeiG, I'd say that a Mortar would be more in line with the Wehrmacht/Ostheer, he just likes the LeiG more.

And as far as the Osttruppen themselves go, he notes that the MG42 upgrade is too inaccurate and it's accuracy shouldn't be nerfed to 50% less but more like 25% less or replaced with the Obers' MG34 upgrade, well not the same upgrade entity, just weapon, of course Osts would be OP while walking around and shooting the 34 on the move lol.

Other than that he says that Defenses and the new Officer are welcomed changes.

Edit: We also talked about it and I suggested that a Panzerbusche upgrade be added to the Osts which gives them 2 AT Rifles to scare off armored threats and pack more of a punch rather than just the Panzerfaust.

He liked the idea and after that I suggested an MP40 upgrade be added but he said that with the amount of inaccuracy the Osts have it wouldn't be effective, same as the MG42. My idea was for the user to have an option of some cheaper make-shift assault infantry in close quarter combat in city maps for example, that's all.

So tl:dr buffs don't matter at all because you don't agree with the nerfs? I'm sorry, I can't help you there. If you can't agree with stuff like that Heavy TDs are overly dominant in team games or that some aspects of OKW are overly strong (because they are). I'm just pointing out that both OST and OKW are getting good things in the patch - OKW is going to be able to use builds that go beyond "spam Volks and Panthers because they have higher scaling ceiling than their counterparts". Look- easier access to Obers and to a better PZ4! Smoke for tactical advances! That's exciting! Instead you're sulking about slightly delayed Passive Healing (the jump from Vet 3 to 5 isn't that far) - nevermind the fact that free, no-micro, passive healing on mainline infantry is a luxury and think a 20 damage nerf to Jadgtiger is "nerfing it harder than ever - oh the horrors of no longer being able to 2 shot medium tanks by yourself!
