WIth doctrines, they can also place flak emplacements, trenches (axis variant), tank traps, and two big irons: LeFH artillery piece and Pak 43, a big AT gun. Strums, like any other engineers, can place barbed wire and mines. Because of that, they should be used as ambush troops – hide them behind some random bush, building near the place where the enemy is expected to stand, like behind the buildings in River Crossing and such. Strums are armed with deadly SMGs (yes, I do realize that STG44 is an AR, but game files state that they’re SMGs, so I’m going to call them SMGs), and should be used with head, because while their second-best received accuracy (for starting unit, that is) stat is nice, don’t forget that any and all competent players will ALWAYS target sturms in the early game, making them extremely squishy. Your starting unit, those are your engineers. In addition to that, HQ also provides the OKW’s AT gun, MG as well as the myth, the legend, Kubelwagen. Headquarters, just like any other factions will grant you access to your engineers and like in most cases, your mainline infantry. (Also from at this point I’d like to say that I’m more of an allied player, so the unit descriptions might be either biased or somewhat short) Tier One – Command HQ

OKW requires base building, although it’s vastly different than the EFA factions since their buildings are de facto mobile sWs trucks that were set up, which serve different functions: one will grant healing, other will give you repair engineers while the last building will serve as a strong point of your defensive, defending the points with 3,7cm flak gun. From their mainlines, towards their mediums, the one is clear: they’re going to bleed you dry with their very mobile and fast playstyle. One thing didn’t change, though: OKW is a faction based on very aggressive pushes with expensive, albeit very effective, and specialized units, and not being very good at defending. Almost everything got changed: Engineers are now melee range fighters, volks are now not forced to blob with panzerschrecks, and god knows what else. Probably one of the most transformed factions since the release, arguably even more drastically than the USF or the original factions in the beta stages of the game. Wehraboos rejoice! Overview of the factionĪh, the OKW. Doctrines, build orders, units – it all will be here.

In this guide I will describe any and all aspects of the Oberkommando West Faction.
