OKW Forward retreat point
I see the lack of a fast and not to costly retreat point on the OKW faction kind of bad, you see, all other factions can have a retreat point by just spending in a building or a particulary unit, while OKW must use the HQ medic halftrack to have it which isn't a good plan because it leaves you to vulnerable to mortar fire and then you lost a production build that cost 35 fuel like is nothing. It can't even move fast enough to leave the place because now is in combat state, while the USF medic/major can easily retreat from a arty strike or something like that, the soviet is really durable and cheap like the brits.

A option could be that Sturmofficer could have a retreat point ability or bunkers with this ability, like the soviet or brits forward estructure.

Factions are different. OKW has the most durable retreat point. It is high risk / high reward, just don't position it within your opponents mortar range if you cannot protect it.

But in a 1 vs 1 is nearly impossible because of the mortar range is half of the map (Example, soviet 82 mm, or british mortar emplacement). Yes, is the most durable of all of them but is the only one who punish you more if it gets destroyed leaving you behind with out a building to recruit a bunch of essential units.
In the vanilla game it can be reasonable to some degree (in the new patch are trying to give them auto medics for 5 fuel, which it doesnt fix the risk), but in this mode soviets and werh have it cheaper and is easily buildible.
Other factions can have the high reward with out losing much if it gets destroyed, making it a viable option, OKW can't take that risk because it cost a lot of fuel, manpower and its have a bunch of units to build.
