Why compare here so many ppl volks with stgs with cons without weapon Upgrades? It is ok that stg volks vs cons...they are much expansiver. Whenever i made comparison from penals/guards with other infantery u tell me the same: they must be better because expansiver.
So...stgs volks more expansive than cons= they must win. Giving cons any compareable weopans make them better than volks...
To add to what katitof said:
250mp>240mp for sure.
250mp+60mu even more so!
Which wouldn't be an issue if to get the same things (but worse), const didn't have an additional 205mp and 35 fuel requirement.
For those keeping track back home in order getting molitovs and AT nades are actually more expensive than side teching and getting 3 new units after selecting their first tier.
Molitovs alone are the same price as Ost t1 (and take longer to research than Ost t1 takes to build)
And what's worse still is that molitovs are 20mu. 10 less than volks tech free flame nades but take longer to throw, have a shorter range AND an addition - not just playing the game cost.
Conscript design is out of date and suffers greatly from all the handouts volks get in contrast.
The difference between volks and cons is a fuck lot less than guards or penals and grens/volks. Volks and cons even have the most similar kit of abilities that like.. Anyone.
They tried to make volks have all the utility that is supposed to make cons viable while also having the contenders vs more expensive and more heavily armed allied counterparts.
