About how many conscripts should i build in a game? They only seem effective against volks and panzergrenadiers when i outnumber them. However im concerned If i produce conscript squad I slow my tech. I usually make 3 About how many is the sweet spot? Does it depend on the map? Thanks

4-5 cons is the nice number but 6 is the ideal if you have a commander with ppsh upgrades.
4 cons is the right number if you're mixing some t1-t2 play in to your tactic or you're planning on making a few shock/guard squads, but 5 is the ideal if you're not gonna make too much call in inf

There is always place for another con squad in your army. Especially if you use Tank Hunter Tactics

hmmm....always build 6 with ppsh commander....and use them in teams of two on West,East and Mid...that resolves issues like being overpowered by your enemy or flanking an MG becomes easier

Generally you want 3-4 squads if you're building tech early, if you are delaying your own tech a bit then go for 4-5, 4-6 if your doctrine relies on Conscripts and then 5-6 if your doctrine has a weapon upgrade or revolves around Conscripts. Don't feel like this number must be consistent, if you lose Conscripts later on in the game (after ten minutes) then I recommend replacing with more elite infantry like Guards and Shock Troops.
The internal battery has run dry, the game can now be played. However, clock based events will no longer occur.

3 is a nice number for most games. Especially when you want some tech.

Until T3 I have 3-4 and in mid game i have 4-5. But I ussualy play tunk hunter. With other commander I think they must like 3-4 squads in the begining and 2-3 in midgame. No more.
More than 5 is a waste even with TH.

Now my Rant/Salt post is over I usually like 3-4 cons, usually a bad idea to stay with them unless you've created a clear advantage with them on your opponent

I usually build 4 conscript squads. In my opinion the best number to have a decent early game (map control especially) and not too much manpower bleed on the one side. On the other side you can afford teching + new units like Guards, Shocks or stock ones like Maxims.
Of course you will have some late game cannon fodder
- provided you have not lost all of them until then.

You should be fine with about 8 or 9 Conscripts

I would go for 4-5 based on your doctrine... if you aim for fast shocks/guards dont build 5...
more conscripts = higher reinforce costs/ mp bleed
If you have to many conscripts you cant afford techs/tanks which is kinda bad
