Main issue with 5 men Grenadiers at this point is stacking on the LMG which would make it one of the strongest infantry units in the game since you'd have to chew through 4 models to reach the LMG and Grenadiers per model have good stats. This is on top of being a snare squad with rifle grenades.

One the ideas we've been thinking of ideas, but it's not the easiest as it might stack too much power, but we will see what turns out.

We've talked about things like faster cap speeds end game after T4 so Ost will start pushing the offensive; reinforce has been discussed, though there was talk about a global cost reduction on Ostheer infantry in reinforce.

Since mainline infantries like Volks,cons, IS, riflemen (doctrinally) and grens (bunkers) are able to build their own cover the mechanic is kind of important to simply remove it.

Therefore instead of removing the ability i would like to prupose a change, into a more defensive theme.

Except for cons and grens, Instead of "building" sandbags (like engineers do) they now "spawn" a single, circular sandbag pile big enough to cover at least 3 or 4 models, like the ones in the capture points. This skill will have a big enough cooldown and will have a time to set up aswell.

Thoughs?

It'd definitely help, but then you're creating a almost wholly doctrinal tech tier.

The main problem is the heavies do everything right now. They've got the anti-tank firepower of a tank destroyer, the anti-infantry firepower of a late-game anti-infantry vehicle, and a ton of health and armour on top of that. All for the cost of two medium tanks.

They're simply just more cost effective than their price in other T4 vehicles.

Personally, I think the solution is to put that proposed sidetech cost on the heavy itself. It'd have the same effect on the first heavy, and serve as a penalty for losing them.

It's also much more straightforward to implement.
