Squad almost twice as good as grens cost almost twice as much and still can upgrade with much better weapon.

God forbid obers are not brainless move and you actually have to think if you want them now!

They have high reinforcement cost, because they are most durable in game long range infantry. Also their reinforce cost matches perfectly universal reinforce cost formula(reinforcing from 1 entity to full squad= ~40% of squad value), so there is no problem here.

Also of course M1919 paras will beat them. What did you expected if you put 380mp+120mun vs 400mp unit? The resource difference alone makes it quite clear which one should end on top. Even with 60 muni LMG it makes perfect sense from balance perspective for them to loose a fight on equal footing.

Now, lets use another argument axis players used recently:
You pay additional costs for UTILITY as you can place BOOBY TRAPS with them without the need for doctrine.

Now, lets do some basic math:
150 is 37% of 400.
5x 28 is 140 and 140 is 37% of 380.

OH MY GOD! THE UNITS REINFORCE FOR EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY SHOULD HAVE! IN FACT IT MAKES SENSE FOR OBERS TO REINFORCE FOR SLIGHTLY MORE THEN NOW AS WELL AS PARAS!
BURN THIS MATHEMATICAL WHICH FOR PROVING THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE!


Because you have no slightest clue on how to read them correctly.
You see forest but not trees.

Numbers are a terrible way to balance. Majority of the players are bad. Any statistics taken from this majority is not representative of what is happening between players that are good (good meaning players that both understand the game and have micro skills high enough to put it in practice).

But every time you play against another person, you're competing against them. It doesn't matter if you're taking the game seriously or not, when you play against someone and try to win, you're competing. You don't have to be a tournament player to want to win. If you're playing a multiplayer game, you have to accept the fact that the vast majority of players are playing to win. For most people, winning in a boring way is a whole lot more fun than losing in a unique way. Nobody goes into a game of CoH2 and says "I'm going to try to lose". You're playing to win against an opponent who's also playing to win; that's the very definition of a competition.

I think they are fine. In combination with LMG Grens they do a ok job as a kind of meat-shield. They also offer Ostheer to get some faster capping in early, if they are the first thing you build.
I often use them in midgame with a halftrack for a kind of "Terran drop-harassment style". But I am still not sure, if that is good version to play them .....
