Hey Relic quote this in a reply if you actually read all the suggestions :_)

They beat Obers at range... they can be called in for an incredibly small MP cost... They dominate before light vehicles can hit the field. Any one of these by itself is problematic. All together it makes them broken. There's a reason so many rank nothing nobody's are climbing the ladder playing exclusively scavenge/overwatch. It's not because its fun, its because if you don't throw all your units, its a guaranteed win.

afaik rifles at range 5 get 13.204 while volk x2 stgs get 15.04 leading to your conclusion of superior DPM at range 0-5

but the situation itself is reversed if volks stay at range 20-25 which is a midrange engagement...

5.881 + 2.841*4 = 17.245
4.759*2 + 2.702*3 = 17.624

meanwhile the effective difference at range 30 is relatively minuscule

4.202 + 2.004*4 = 12.218
2.894*2 + 2.079*3 = 12.025

not to mention STGvolks still retain superior moving DPS to bar rifles... and the use of the incend nade can ensure that cqc engagements are relatively fluid at close-range 10 engagements... not to mention that the incend nade imo is relatively superior in contrast to the HE grenade

this means that the argument still holds... non stg volks > non bar rifles at long range
stg volks > bar rifles at short range...

lastly volks can build sandbags... rifles cannot

now ive already done a comparison between volks and cons and non stg volks beat non ppsh cons at all ranges except under range 10 aswell... by that argument volks are overperforming as they beat conscripts senseless at almost all ranges except cqc for 10mp more while rifles beat volks senseless for 30mp more... and they dont get sandbags....




means nothing... volks without stgs still beat rifles at a range...

Volks are 30mp cheaper than their WFA counterparts and always have access to mgs and AT as well as early game shock infantry and quite possibly the best AI squad in the game later (Obers should come earlier however) there is no conceivable reason for them to dumpster fuck 10mp cheaper cons and be comparable to 30mp more rifles and Tommies all of whom need additional fuel, manpower and munitions investments in excess of volks to properly scale.

For their cost the exceed the performance they should be pegged at. If Ost grens are held back because of their team weapons why aren't volks held by their access to elite infanty that their WFA counterparts lack? Rifles have to be good because that's it (unless they decided to do something more with officers)

Volks are a lazy,one infantry to do everything you need design without a do everything price.

And they somehow made JLI more attractive...
