they are a very powerful faction in game

yeah i heard that there fairly un balanced when it comes to fire power and how acurate there units can be im just not sure if i want to pick it up full price or for the sale

I just got it for $5 on the recent sale a few days back, definitely worth it on sale. Full price not so much. Pretty cool stuff in there but you can't get too cocky, I wouldn't go so far as saying it's an OP faction. Example, the flakpanzer is not as good as the Luchs the baseline German faction has because the crew operating the gun are exposed in every direction but the front. Then again that flakpanzer is 210mp, can come out quite early, and can overpower jeeps and armored cars just as well as mow the lawn of infantry.

Brummbar special unit has a 150mm cannon that is nuts, people joke it's a miniature nuke launcher. Very long reload, basically a heavily armored artillery piece. Several of the other vehicles seem the same and there are a few new ones, for example the "jeep" equivalent is not a Kubel but a different type of "jeep". Same for armored cars.

There are jagers that pack the German semi-auto rifles, more than decent mid-range fire support infantry. Veteran tank crews which cost very slightly more but they are already veterans, and are more capable in a straight up fight with their SMG's than other tank crews in my experience. The budget infantry is still budget infantry and not worth buying unless you want bodies on the field for jacking lots of vehicles or if you plan on stealing better weapons for them, even then their stats are still sub-par. The 2 infantry groups above that are not bad in a fight. You can order veteran gunners and veteran AT soldiers etc. as well in the tab that lets you select individual infantry.

My only major nag is lack of descriptions for units in the Osfront Veteranen faction. Sadly this happens in CtA as well with every unit. Can't learn about units in-game to get an idea of what they are packing, meant to do, armor plating etc. Some of the units shared by the baseline German faction can give you a stat-sheet I think.
