Elite Armor, Luftwaffe GF, and Spec Ops are all pretty underwhelming due to not really offering much the OKW player doesn't already have. Scavenge, Fort, and Jadg give the player more options at least and can fill holes OKW has it it's unit list.

For instance the StG 44 IF has lower DPS than the MG34 LMG, Fallsch are very squishy and very expensive, and the command panther is just to expensive when you might as well get a KT.

Spec ops is farm from underwhelming. STG44's at long range have less dps, but gain a lot of dps up close which is often where allied troops will try to get to. I find them much better for mid - close range fights against most allied infantry. Not to mention you cannot drop an lmg34 for your enemy to pickup. Not sure why you are saying you may as well get a KT instead of a Command Panther. KT requires 40 + 40 + 80 + 260 = 420 Fuel. Command Panther realistically will cost you 40 + 40 / 80 + 200 = 320 Fuel. Never mind it can come out earlier than a KT and specifically in team games can really boost your allies vehicles. The extra sight range alone is imo worth it, since you can easily kill most allied armour with little threat to your self. It can even kill Jacksons pretty easily since it has greater sight range and will often bounce shots. Combine Command Panther with a second panther and they are very hard to kill, especially as the CP gains vet.

The grenades are really good too. Destroys buildings often in 1 or 2 volleys, works well against blobs and pretty much allows you to use them on cd without harming shrecks.

What game modes are you playing and at what ranking? Although Ostheer isn't in the strongest position I don't believe its as weak as you make out. One of the main reasons it wasnt picked much in the 1v1 tourny is because Axis had to pick first, so if they picked Ostheer then everyone would just pick USA but also because of the strong position that OKW is in currently.

If Ostheer gets buffed then OKW needs nerfing a fair bit imo. 3v3 / 4v4 is already pretty stupid as OKW, spam volks and camp until Panthers / King Tigers where as allies in 3v3 / 4v4 feels like an uphill battle for most of the game.

Would you be happy to remove LMG's from grens, but put the lmg in a doctrine and buffs its damage slightly so you are forced into playing 2 or 3 doctrines? Soviets core infantry are pretty poor especially late game and even more so when facing obers.

I don't remember you posting so much about soviet issues when all the weapon profiles changes appeared, where as Ostheer you could just spam Grens and end the game in 10 minutes because soviets had so many issues standing up to them. From a lot of your posts I get the idea you only play Ostheer. If this is the case you should really play the other factions especially Allies to see that the grass isn't always greener.

I'm getting this error when Celo game watcher is running

"Index was outside the bounds of the array." Any ideas?

Edit: Seems to have fixed it self.
