I've said in the past that obers should have started at vet 5 or whatever the max was. Basically they're already elite, they shouldn't be able to scale from their initial superiority. Like I don't mean they start at actual current vet 5 stats (way too op), I mean they should be strong squads with no scaling. Similarly other elite units should have had poor scaling, most units except volks and weapon teams. Would have helped sell the core theme of the faction better imo.
yeah. giving OKW less levels of vet would make them more elite. start them at vet 1 and have their vet 1 and 2 be, respectively, vet 2 and 3 for everyone else. or with volks have them start bad but have 4 levels of vet, etc.
