Americans have 1919,defensive stance.Or veteran riflemen/flamethrowers to boost their infantry.Plus elite call-in infantry.
OKW elite call-in infantry,mgs.Plus stock obers.
Soviets have whole commanders dedicated to boosting conscripts plus elite call-in infantry.
Ostheer has no commander that boosts panzergrenadiers or grenadiers .The g43 upgrade is worse than the stock one,stormtroops are no better than pzgrens and eat huge muni.Ass grens suck after 5 mins.
Why is this?Why isn't there an ostheer grenadier support commander or panzergrenadier commander?
Too many repetative abilities in the commanders and none actually helping the underpowered ost infantry.
1919 - doctrinal
Defensive stance - doctrinal and keep in mind that access to HMG is limited.
Flamethrower - nice upgrade but Ost pio can have it flamethrower as well.
Paras with Thompsons have higher DPS than Shocks but they are more vulnerable.
OKW is elite everywhere.
And what are those doctrines that boost cons?
Ppsh upgrade? Useless.
For Russia Motherland? Good ability but cost a lot on ammo which is needed for recons and B4.
PTRS upgrade? Come on..
Ostheer - what kind of buff you want? You don't have to spend resources to get LMG, Schrecks, Fausts, Rifle Nades (Sov and USF have to).
You don't need any doctrinal upgrades because Ostheer has everything.
No need to unlock, no need to choose doctrine.
And Assault Grens don't suck. You can't charge with them. Use them to wipe squad in a building, rush to attack supressed squad or put them into this doctrinal transporter and drive behind crew weapons.
You are not looking at the other side of the coin.
Ostheer has easy access to mines. USF don't have.
Ostheer is very flexible faction. You have all units you need it first 2 tiers so you can adapt to any situation.
US Forces have very limited tiers.
And on... And on...
