This is the same for the m20 or m5 ,properly used lv are indeed dangerous.
Doubly so for the Flak HT.
as the ostheer i can stop the bleed by using mortars and the mg42. if you need a tank for that then that is a problem
Yes, and the problem lies with Volks, not OKW's support weapons. By the way, I don't know if I was being clear, but I didn't literally mean manpower bleed (Volks and OKW in general bleed very little MP), I meant losing engagements and subsequently map control.
so you are claiming that the 10 mp cheaper mg34 is better than the mg42 that does double the damage and gains more vet because he does double the damage?
Ah yes, veterancy is important on MGs because they are very likely to survive. When you are on the backfoot I would rather have an MG that is cheaper and also isn't as punishing to lose if the other player captures it.
Medium vs medium tank in 1vs1 is rarely fatal . it depends on the support the medium tanks get. and i find the ostheer support in the form of pg´s with skres better then the raketten. The most glaring issue with the okw tank selection is that they have no AI tanks and brumbar to break an AT line
I'm no Ost player but I thought PGs with shrecks are a meme. The PIV J lets you be more aggressive against T34s, Cromwells, and M4s. That amounts to a lot. Very true that OKW's tank selection doesn't have many AI options, that's one of the faction's weaknesses. It can't really break a support line since LeIGs are bad and the Stuka/KT are inflexible. But on the other hand the armor game is so much easier for OKW because it is harder to be swarmed by mediums or fenced out by 60 range TDs because of the JPIV.
Might I also mention OKW has more flexible mines?
