Just had an idea sparked from two issues:
In my opinion, the T34/76 comes a bit too late (about 30s-1min or ~15-25 fuel). Second, absolutely nobody gets the mobilized reserves in T3 (the initial reason for this was that the 7 men upgrade came 'too late', but it turned out that the T70 is enough of a power spike in T3. As Soviets, there is no reason to delay tech for additional power).
We could potentially fix this by reducing the cost of Soviet T4 by about ~15-20 fuel, but move mobilized reserves to T4 for 20-25 fuel.
Potential issues:
Earlier SU85, Katy and call ins (including heavies)
Benefits:
- Soviets now get the T34 finally earlier than Ostheer gets the P4.
- Decreases the apparent benefit of T70. Soviets could now have a choice between building a T70 OR rushing a medium.
- Since the cost of 7 men Conscripts is now truely separate, both cost and abilities could finally be balanced towards the performance of the unit and don't have to bridge the gap between "must be good enough to spend resources on BUT not too good because you get it for free later anyway".
- T1 builds could become more popular again due to the earlier arrival of the T34 and some saved costs on T4 that can be invested into back teching, while T2 builds now carry an "additional cost" in Mobilized Reserves. All this while no unit of T1 needs to be changed.
