StGs are way too strong for all of five volks and splitting the squad up is extremely inelegant. The currently proposed method makes the upgrade either a no-brainer or a waste of munis, instead of a solid strategic choice. It's just not conducive to balance.

And this is all not even considering Sturmpioneers already have a set of StGs.

I think anyone with half a brain can see that Stg44 on 2 volks is a dreadful idea. I agree, they need an upgrade which is inline with their role, not to become sturm lights.

it's not just the medic for 400 mp 55 fuel, you're also getting the production building itself.

check my signature. Even with the added medic upgrade, the OKW still have one of the lowest mp cost of the entire game.

Dude this game doesn't work like that. People skip tiers. It's not all linear and simplistic like your spreadsheets. In some strategies tier 1 has nothing in it worth the cost of building battlegroup hq. And without any decent AT now, tier 1 will be skipped A LOT.

Imagine walking into a shop to buy a loaf ofbread. But they don't sell single loaves only packs of 6.
-"Excuse me, how can I get a single loaf?"
-"I'm sorry you can only buy 6"
-"So, you mean to get my bread I have to pay 6 times what I needed?"
-"Yes, but think you are also getting 5 extra loaves"
-"Great... really don't need them. Thanks."

*GASP!*

You mean like you'll have to actually put down mines and maybe actually consider what opponent does and go for Puma, just like ost goes for 222, USF for stuart, UKF for AEC and sov for SU-76/T-70 to deal with early vehicle from opponent instead of spamming most op handheld AT weapon on most basic infantry that doesn't even require any side costs!?

SUCH INJUSTICE!

Ok Mr Katitof, seeing as you are so smug. On the one hand you are saying okw will now be forced to buy puma. On the other hand you want additional teching costs for medic. So perhaps now I can guide you through the very simple logic you have a hard time with and even with your tunnel vision you might see the issue?

If an okw player goes tier 2 then, to get medics they have to get a new truck 100 mp 15 fuel. Setup battlegroup where they would otherwise not need to. 200mp 25 fuel. So 300mp and 40 fuel... This is without additional the teching costs (that 5000 out of your 8000 posts have been about). So tell me again, how much does it cost to get medics if you are osteer and you skip a tier? How much for ukf? What about Soviets? And how much does an ambulance cost if you go for Stuart instead of Lt tier? Aha. All cost much less than this scenario, which you say will be required in order to field a puma. Again this is NOT counting the proposed tech costs.

Your idea of balance is making every faction have to go through the same procedures and costs (even though I have hopefully demonstrated a problem with that surface level understanding of price). But you completely ignore how each faction is performing. Have you noticed the very high allied win rates in esl and across all but 4v4 on coh2chart? Does ACTUAL performance factor into your idea of balance at all? I think not.

Your words.

On the twitch stream they said it doesn't snare. Not my words.

Sorry Brad if it's not your fault.

I'm pretty salty that the game balance feels like a community mod (because it is one) and not a professionally balanced game. It's like Riot games took over the balance.

WTF is this? Miragefla unable to ignite demand for his mod even by paying people in competitions, so he's talked his way into changing the whole game structure.
