You are actually mistaken. The was time during these 6 years when conscripts spam was valid strategy and was used frequently even without ppsh. And it was also stale meta.
The is why one should find solutions that creates room for more units than spamming a single unit.
4 grens is standard and you never seem to have any kind of problem with that for some reason.
4 cons was that "spam" of yours(namely, 2 CEs, 4 cons into guards or shocks).
Only exceptions when we have seen more then that was when con PTRS was anti-all weapon.
Lenny was never meta.
Yes, it does, but other infantry have weapon upgrades, so they do not depend on static character. Even osttruppenhave MG-42, and a cover-up bonus, but they are not so dependent on him because of the weapon improvement.
Weapon upgrades... like.... LMG42 or Bren or DP-28 or LMG34(ok, this one is actually powerful AF even on the move)?
Nope, infact I would go as far as saying the R.E ability should be nerfed so it can only destroy light crush.
LOS is such a large and important mechanic that being able to remove LOS flanking routes etc just makes that mechanic redundant and ruins map design, since the most maps where designed before the Brits were introduced.
But you can already do that with vehicles.
Just drive over the cover.
Brits can do it with infantry earlier, because emplacements.
I wonder, how it could turn out if upgrades were untouched, but tommies themselves were made more expensive as a base(without increasing reinforce cost).
That would discourage early game spamming, diminish early game presence, increase reliance on HMG and UC.
Problem is, they could have too little map presence early game.
Nope. I was informed we can't touch it cause okw might struggle if they tie call ins to tech. Same reason the maxim will never be worth a damn. Can't have okw struggling against anything now can we?
Makes one wonder why it was not a problem when soviets were 100% reliant on 34/85 call-in in the past....
Anyway, its OKW over-reliance on command panther that's issue here as its their only frequent end game call-in, which makes be believe the problem is with CP itself. One could argue its because T4 gets destroyed, but then again, you don't need to put it forward.
Really? Delaying first vehicle by about two minutes is "small disadvantage"?
Do you know what luchs can do within 2 minutes when it has free reign?
What flame 251 will do in that time?
Its less of an impact on the way to med armor, but getting it pre-light phase can be completely crippling if opponent capitalizes on lights.
The whole point of the thread is asking to change the scope so we don't have to put up with a patch of buffed stall-in strats.
(because this patch is already possibly meta changing one with its doctrinal and stock changes and adding more to it might quickly turn it into a mess with no foreseeable consequences and if you play this wrong, you might end up with soft removing heavies from the game as it was the case when they were limited to 1 for the first time in the past in a barrage of other meta shifting changes)
