Riflemen should have cost discounts with every tier you unlock.

Base: 280MP
LT or Cap: -10MP
LT or Cap upgrade: -10MP each
Major: -10MP

Final cost at 240MP, representing increasing support across the Atlantic.

I understand that coding would be a mess. Maybe a side tech?

i personally dont prefer to blob volks. the manpower trade isnt worth it and expensive in the long run unless fighting some shitty infantry spam like conscripts and Rear echelons.

i go with 3 ober + 1 or 2 squads of volks. the volks as used as a meatshield and to prevent vehicle crushing.

Anyway the best meta right now is still Panzerfusillers spam and blob.

Why so many volks tho? Its an overkill 5 main line squads.

Considering sov had 3 penals + 2 shocktroops + mortar, his single mortar could have coased a lot of damage during engagements.

But in any rate 2 oberst + 5 volks (if they had StGs) should be able to win against his inf.

As for army, you could have got an MG34, aswell IGs near your Schwerer, since IGs is very strong on crossing.

You dont need P4J per say, if you feel that you was able to stale and you would be able to force enemy armor away, if they get one. If its 50\50 match up, without one side clearly dominating the other, P4J is a possibility. Especially against penals+shocks since soviet is lacking AT gun.

Stalling for KT (any heavy armor) only works when you are ahead of your enemy by quite a big margin.

• Since it was a 2v2 map (the one with the bridge in mid and top mid flanks are split by a river and fuel is on top i cannot remember the name) I decided to go for the traditional 3 volks to mg to leig etc etc.
  
• Play good for the first 12 mins against my SOV opponent.
  
• He decides to go double sniper. I got his first sniper very easy, but the second one bled me hard.
  
• I lost to wipes 2 squads: an Sturpio and Volks. No probl. I got a sturmpio back (I paid 300mp but I didnot have a engi unit so it was the only thing I could do) and managed to get schwere truck in good time so I got an Ober squad.
  
• Here's where I lost the game: in 24min mark, nobody of us went medium tank route. The matchup was 2Obers 1 Vet5 Volks against 3 Penas + 2 Shocks. He even brought in 82mm to bleed me. No snipers cause I killed them.

From game launch to now, to help track the success and failures of AoE4 this megathread is good;
Current Situation on Aoe4 and Aoe2
https://www.aoezone.net/threads/current-situation-on-aoe4-and-aoe2.178560/

Mostly pro-players/streamers, tournament organizers and old-school fans post there.
They closely track AoE tournament views in comparison to SC2.

On this forum, the general consensus seems to be that AoE4 failed not because the game doesn’t have potential but ended up being let down by Relic/MS.

Tournament money is keeping AoE4 on life-support;

Common misconception from AoE4 Reddit fanboys, haters are not destroying this game.
Those fans need to redirect the attacks to MS and Relic which is 100% responsible for this failure.
