Yeah, just ignore what I wrote. Compare tanks with infantry units and derail by talking about complete other units and old patches. Why don't you counter obers with vehicles? Why do you want to mirror infantry, its brings boredom to the game.
I am not ignoring it. I am just showing you flawed logic. If a unit over performs for what it costs then it needs to be adjusted. It doesnt matter what it is or where it is in the Tech tree.
Post turning point this was a game where soft counters were abundant. A well placed Gren could beat a Shock.
Units like Obersoldaten need a hard counter. There is no cover, positioning, flanking that makes them cost effective to counter with Infantry. Unlike the current STs. The change to STs was a good change for those reasons.
