I don't see why it makes sense to have conscripts target size set higher than 1

I really like the +5 range replacing +30% accuracy at vet 2. Another good alternative is to replace the +30% accuracy with a straight up +160HP bonus, exactly like the Jagdpanzer IV’s vet 2.

This change perfectly synergizes with the unit’s brawler role in the USF roster and still keeps the same Axis counterplays by not altering the core combat capabilities.

Capture rate of osttrupen to 0.75 quite likely would also solve all the problems they create.

You're advocating that Sturms, an already overloaded unit, be the only source of anti-cover/garrison that OKW get early on though. OKW are already punished heavily for losing their Engineer squad, requiring them to deal with any sort of cover/garrisons early means they're basically fucked six ways to sunday if their Sturms die.
sturms are not overloaded early on, but yes, i am suggesting they be the squad okw uses to dig infantry out early game. losing your sturms is bad for okw regardless and i do not recommend it in live either, but in my suggestion they will have support of smoke to both close and stay alive. smoke is something okw sorely lacks and id like more access to it as well. whats more, a normal nade wouldnt imo necessarily need to be tech locked, so volks could start with their slick nade helping out in choice encounters but sticking it out behind cover would actually be an option. forcing an enemy from cover is a great ability that shopuldnt be handed out willy nilly- cons were actually designed with it in mind and had drawbacks built in, volks were given it with none of those safe gaurds and it shows

Im not sure what the point of an "anti cover bonus" would be on a squad that's encouraged to close to point blank, in any case. anti cover isnt really what i meant, more like an anti garrison bonus

You're also overstating the number of drawbacks that molotov even has. Once Cons hit vet 2, which really doesn't take forever, requiring vet is hardly offsets the ability defficit unless you know of a sneaky way to spawn vet 2 cons off the cuff Molotovs have the singular downside of a shorter range than the Incendiary which even if that WAS the sole advantage, as i listed previously is a massive one. (Assuming we aren't counting teching requirement) why arnt we counting the tech cost? you dont get anything but molitovs for the tech and it directly inflates the cost of cons to have themThey're otherwise arguably better so if we discount the shorter range the longer throw time (or spawn them at vet 2) and the tech cost they are better?, given that there's no delay for them to burst the ability to get the nade off is moe important by a LONG shot than the half second poof before it starts burning, and conscripts have a nondoctrinal sprint ability, that gives them the mobility to get to where they need to be to toss the Molotov.so lava nades are superiour due to costing 10mu more but because cons can add 20 mu to their cost (making THEM 10mu more) the match up is fine? you could move as fast as a blitzing panther but you still need to stop to throw the molitov and if an mg fires half a burst at you in that time you are not going to get it off. if the molitov was 15 mu the comparison would be more acceptable but for a 10 mu difference the discrepancy is appaling.



You also need to consider that Conscripts, other than a window after Volks get STGs, otherwise beat Volks in equal scenarios. Volks' saving grace in infantry combat is their Incendiary helping them push enemies out of strong positions.cons and volks are at best matched before volks get their stgs, but id actually put the advantage on volks since they have about the same dps as grens do but lose it slower and cons and grens are matched. if volks cant deny core game features without any drawbacks i would love to see them adjusted accordingly

Finally: Volks don't even have Incendiaries out of the gate. It requires that they build an SWS truck, giving you an early window where OKW can basically do nothing if you decide to sit behind green cover, or enter a building. this is also the window where they will out number and out gun enemies, furthermore, as suggested sturms would be the answer here, and volks wouldnt be without teetch as suggested further up You as soviet even have several options early on to provide force multipliers/deal with cover/garrisons. You can build your Mortar (or even Zis) practically immediately, and maxims (Though Maxims have deathloop issues, obviously)and in sanders suggestion here okw will have everything shy of a King Tiger for like 15mp and a stick of chewing gum, any cheaper and the game would have to give OKW resources for teching up instead of the other way around.

Removing Fausts from 5man Grens is kind of an absurd nerf. It does nothing to what people complain about regarding 5man Grens, while making them completely defenseless vs light vehicles, and obviously vs heavier ones. Reducing or removing, dependent on how much a difference it really makes, their RA bonus would be better.
