I'm not saying doctrinal units should be more powerful, but you still can't ignore the scaling when discussing the unit, especially one that doesn't really struggle to vet, contrary to what Zyllen claims, obers vet pretty fast once they reach vet2 thanks to accuracy bonus.
Volks are best example here, they start off weaker then cons, but with vet they beat cons effortlessly thanks to all the bonuses and we're having a situation where cheaper unit dominates more expensive one.
Zyllens argument would be accurate if obers had a fuel cost, but they don't. Muni limit isn't that severe since its still possible to equip 3 shrecks, 3 pfusies with G43 and throw some nades around, so LMG isn't really locked behind significant cost either.
Besides, we already had them as bulletproof 4 men sniper teams, we don't need to go back to that, which any buff to their DPS would mean. OKW doesn't really lack menpower for them unless you're being severely pushed back in the early game.
ps. NOW I remember you horrible memory to no-trolls
I am not saying Obersoldaten should go back to where they were. I am not sure myself how much change they could need right now. I just was not happy with the arguments you brought in play.
Veterancy has to be taken into account as you say (I am not quite agreeing with how easy it is go get and keep Obersoldaten to high Veterancy but that won't matter for now), but I think it would be better to make the unit better from the point where it comes out and reduce in return the power of Veterancy or the upgrades to prevent them from scaling to too much power.
