Should be removed "because I said so" and you mean consistency, like removing rec dmg from rangers, because it wasn't explained enough on how it works only to give it back next patch to grens? That is the consistency you speak of here?
Yes removing DR from Ranger is consistency since no other infatry started with damage reduction.
And if in your opinion Ranger are UP start a thread about it instead of derailing this one.
Is it consistent that USF can't equip 2nd LMG despite them having 2 weapon slots and m1919 taking 1?
Actually this was balance issue but if in your opinion it not consistent LMG can get the Bren treatment and become cheaper and worse.
Is it consistent that healing between faction is all over the place in terms of costs, availability and how it actually works?
Sorry, there is no magical "consistency" in the game, only individual cases.
They all get heal and that is consistent. You are confusing variety with consistency.
So you're saying extra nades should go from mp40 and weapon slot being given instead?
If you actually use the MP-40 VG you will see that they do not get an extra since the lose the original flame grenade. The actually swap the incendiary grenade for a He and smoke. And the reason why the even get a smoke grenade is because they do not have sprint as other basic smg troops including conscripts.
Actually the fragmentation grenade is nerf since the smoke/incendiary combo was considered OP but if in your opinion it is unfair start a thread about it asking for incendiary grenade to replace the frag.
Now instead complaining for thing irrelevant to ppsh ranging from ranges to healing and derailing yet another thread try to stay on the PPsh upgrade. It is an upgrade and there is no not take up a weapon slot.
