This has to be a joke lmao

Why? If its exclusive to the mine sweeper, you need a second spio squad. So you have to pay 300mp again. Not too far off to Obers. On top of that they lack long range dmg without the k98. Maybe this lets okw open with something else than volks.

Ofc there is the possibility that you could spam them and dominate the hole game. But I dont think this is 100% given. We could atleast try it out.

Spec Ops and Grand Offensive were the meta commander in the last 3 years. And even then we havent seen Stg-Obers becoming meta. So they are for sure not "great".
Imo they are neither bad nor good, just mediocre. There is not much reason to get them over lmgs. Maybe against commandos or on maps with many shotblockers. But even then you probably face shocks or rangers. So why even going for Obers at that point? Just go Falls and press Valiant Assault .

I think the upgrade is fine. Ofc the weapon upgrade could get reworked, but im sure there are more important things to adjust than Stg-Obers.

g43 and stg I'd say are about equal in different dmg profiles.

For g43 you have the mainline and "special" g43s. As you said you have two completely different damage profiles based on squad, and the game doesnt tell you that.

For STG44 you have close range STGs (Strums), Mid-close range (Pgrens), Mid-Long Range (Obers) and a dmg steroid at all ranges (Volks). Atleast the Obers one is slightly different than the others.

The only other weapon I can think on the allied side that can be confusing is the m1a1 (elite vs RE) for USF or the special Commando Bren for UKF. But I'd argue that one is nowhere even close to as confusing as the Axis ones.

I mean plenty of people on this site have gotten it confused by this (including me) and I'd say the players on the site generally know damage profiles and statistics better than the average player. An average casual player has no chance of knowing that a strum stg is different from a volk stg or a Gren g43 and a JLI g43. Which would explain why a lot of players will always try to get up to point blank with volks/obers when they have stgs. Even if they would be much better of sitting in cover and making the opponent close on them.

And that why i think coh3 should have a codex with (basic) unit stats and clear information regarding abilities. Legion TD 2 has one and its great. You can compare different units and values.

The ingame descriptions needs an update and some more info. Im no expert but it shouldnt be that difficult to let a couple people with knowledge write some helpful piece of text and add it to the game. The veterancy mod already does something similar.

You're not taking into account the fact that Fusies have six men, either squad's EHP, nor the fact that a significant portion of the Fusie's damage is loaded onto their G43s, meaning they lose significantly less DPS for each model loss (Especially before they lose their fourth model).

Raw DPS isnt a meaningful statistic by itself as far as unit performance is concerned. Test these fights in-game and see how they actually do.

Also: Are the numbers you're giving for Sections for if they're in, or out of cover? They have a different DPS profile dependent on which you're looking at, y'know.

Im not completely sure if the numbers are in cover or out of cover. But its not that meaningful cause a, there is plenty of yellow cover later on and b, their cooldown debuff/buff doesnt affect enfields that much. Its more punishing for brens or vickers. So the numbers for enfields stay almost the same.

And dmg is the best statistic to see whats the optimal range for infantry match-ups. I just wanted to point out that Füssies are not that good long range (nice ingame description btw) and you shouldnt use them like Obers or other lmg squads. Their advantage is the excellent moving acc/dmg and their dmg around range 5-15/20. The dmg of their g43 is almost the same as volks k98 at range 35 btw. So having 3 g43 with 3 models left is no big advantage.

Edit: About the next balance patch.

I heard that some balance team member suggested to buff their k98 and nerf the g43, so the squad is better early on and the same later on. But i dont think power creeping them into viable status is the way to go. The problem is that Füssies are more or less the same as Volks. Midrange squad with snare for early/midgame until Obers arrive. In Theory there is no reason to get both. Either Füssies are better and you take them all of the time or they are worse and you dont take them at all.

I suggested to give volks mp40 instead of stgs stock. That would give Füssies a unique role instead of slightly better/worse volks clone. But i dont think such an heavy base roster change is doable anymore. So why not take Füssies in a different direction? And cause Okw has enough powerful, expensive combat squads like Obers, Falls or Jli, why not go in the other direction? Cheap, utility squad like Cons or Osttruppen. Nerf the dmg output, put the flare behind vet and put them around 200-240 manpower with slightly cheaper reinforce.
Now Okw has some cheap meatshield units. Could be problematic in 1vs1 though (see Osttruppen).

I agree with most of what you said, this one however I don't.
IS pack quite a decent punch for their popcap even at the current value, they have good EHP, centralize most of their DPS and have 5 men for resilience against AoE damage. They do not have a real weakness other than a missing snare which is compensated for by sappers and a very good ATG.

Yeah am not 100% sure too. But on the other side they cant compete against elite infantry like riflemen or cons can. And brits have only one alternative to sections. Commandos are good dont get me wrong, but they dont work like typical mainline and they are just in a couple of commanders available. So you are stuck with sections until the game ends. And for that their scaling doesnt match their popcap imo.
