Ostfront/Tactics/Wehrmacht

Why play the Wehrmacht?

Pros

• A good selection of strong Mid War vehicles
• Very wide selection overall
• Wide selection of assault guns
• Many iconic vehicles
• Impressive roster of heavy vehicles
• Plenty of specialized vehicles
• 3+ AA gun that can fire at ground targets
• Ridiculously fast half-track
• 2+ towed gun in mid-war
• Generally load check-free

Cons

• The vehicles
• Their tanks are on the slow side
• The selection might leave you lacking in all-rounders

The Wehrmacht seems very good and well-protected on paper, but their vehicles are also very expensive and slow. Sure, they have fast things, so they can bring assault infantry in halftracks towards the objectives, but their other capping option is usually too slow to get there fast enough. Since they have so many strong vehicles, it's very easy to be stuck with a selection of heavy-taxed vehicles and a shortage of the humble medium tank. The Wehrmacht is actually a little stronger on the defence than offence due to this mobility hiccup.
