...T4 tech requirements mean nothing as you get it eventually. After that how do you justify less costly unit out performing another. Because the games gonna reach a point where every player has access to all tech and only resources will be spent on unit and upgrades. What justification does tech requirement have then of less costly units out performing more costly one. There isn't any other wise OST t4 units would be priced lower Since they come later than all other vehicles but that wouldn't make sense in end game(or even post tech game)

Cons are a bigger manpower and fuel investment, sorry to say. Well and munitions too. You have to buy the grenade package or risk getting shat on by units in buildings or light vehicles. You don't get 7man until t4 or you spend manpower and fuel to get it earlier at t3. You pay nothing for grenadier squads to unlock their abilities. Nor do you pay anything to unlock VSL. It's based on cp.

If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Since the new patch affects a wide variety of commanders, it's the perfect chance to merge g43 grens and VSL and rework the affected commanders that would be OP picks with it.

I can't see g43 and VSL co-existing and being both good options on their own. If Grens remain 4, you will always want one entity to hold more firepower than the other three, so the MG42, and G43 Panzergrens locks out Grens G43 from the close range infantry squad role, for which they would need more durability anyway (so exactly the VSL)

Pay nothing for grenadier, I'm sorry try pulling a rifle nade or getting lmg42 without investing 40 fuel. Go ahead do that. let see how it turns out. Why not try a 1 min rifle nade/mg42 too.

In case you didn't realize, you actually get that in addition to teching anyways. LMG42 is not a sidetech, it's included unlike con grenades.

Granted, 7man comes free with teching T4, but when soviets have teched to T4 you should already have tanks on the field, which is OST's strong point anyways, not its infantry. SOV has to pay to get it earlier at T3.
