Over time patches seem to have focused in significant changes that sift the meta. Although this can a be a good thing they seem to create many balance issues and the following patches seem to aim the after shock of these changes.

This approach seem to have lead in neglecting other aspect of the game. One of this aspects is veterancy and overhaul is long overdue.

Imo the following thing need to be looked at:

1) XP values. Over the course of the year the cost and stat of many units has changed yet the XP values of unit generally has not. This has lead to some units vetting too fast and other to slow.

Checking the XP value of unit and their vet speed is long overdue.

2) Vet bonus. Again over the course of the year units have changed role yet their vet bonuses have been hardly changed leading to some units being op in late game and others being up. To make thing even worse most EFA unit have similar vet bonuses to begin with.

Balancing units across all vet level and customizing vet bonuses according to units role is long overdue.

3)Vet abilities. Similar to vet bonuses these abilities are custom made according to the units role and are not balanced.

Balancing vet abilties and customizing abilities bonuses according to units role is long overdue.

Imo instead of yet another patch that would simply sift the meta it is high time for a patch that will fix a number of long lasting issues.

I agree with OP (and Sander in different threads):

The next patch if we get one should focus on cleaning up a lot of the dirt that has been piling up bit by bit through the years: text strings, some bug fixing whereever needed, consistency regarding abilities and the general communication of the game with the player.

There are so many things that got overlooked (like the stuka 0 penetration that is currently being discussed) or not touched at all because of more pressing issues. And veterancy is quite a big part of this, both regarding requirements and bonusses.

The only balance things that should get touched are probably OST grenadiers and USF late game artillery (not sure abiut the last one though). I think the rest of the game is fine for the most part and can wait with tweaks.
