Because you can't get enough Pgrens to just outright replace your mainline infantry.

And you dont need to replace your mainline with them. Even 2 G43 PGs are giving huge AI boost to your army. They simply dont care what they are fighing, as long as they are in cover. They might not win against every single inf, but they will bite the ass off of pretty much everything in prossess.

The issue with G43 Grens before was that they scaled poorly into the lategame, and would bleed you dry because they had to close the distance, meaning they were not just useless, they were actively harming you.

This is no longer the case. They are viable throughout all phases of the game, especially if supported by G43 Pgrens.

Sorry what the difference ? How -10 rec acc. makes them viable? What the point of closing distance with the squads you cant beat anyway? How this helps with scaling, if they still lose close\mid range engagements to upgraded rifles\tommies and will bleed to reserves cons.

G43 on Grens still suck balls honestly. Especially with new buffed PPSH for cons.

I mean, balance team either need to just keep G43 only on PGs because they are good on them and give grens different upgrade instead of G43 or stop being afraid of making G43 strong combat wise on grens.

Its funny to see how vet3 G43 grens are loosing to 1 bar vet3 rifles and almost losing to bolstered tommies (without guns), while vet 3 PPSH cons are able to beat vet 2 Obersts.

id like to see obers sooner yet as well, maybe after 2nd truck built? or at least placed (so it could in turn be "rushed" with a med mech and hopefully have momentum to carry into schwere) but thats a lot of IFs

Obersts easily can arrive around 2 CP like all other elite inf, only with rifles and LMG being untouched.

But at the same time, question is, would be enouth in a long run? Sure, it will slightly help OKW, but Obersts arriving so early, aside from the fact that they will be vetted, wont change whole Volks situation.

I mean, the fact that they will be vetted, probably wont change that much, not to mention that by the time of 2 CPs, you can already have StGs on volks. It might be very oppressive if you add Obests to volks power-spike.

Imo, there should be just an late game upgrade + some slight vet rework for volks. Since even Ostheer get reinfocement reduction with T4.
Maybe OKW can resive something simular, if Volks are garbage and they have to be supplemented by Obests in late game, then give OKW upgrade which cuts volks population and reinfocement, so you can actually add more elite AI inf into your army, without being pop-cap locked.

Also I want to add, that unlike other mainlines Volks are the only one which is pretty much irreplaceable. If you lost your vetted squad past mid-game, you wont be able to vet up new one most likely. Other factions at least have strong weapon upgrades to keep new squads somewhat usefull.

although it must be ensured that the buff doesn't change the Volks vs. Rifles/Sections matchup too much.

Lets be honest here, Rifles and Tommies are so much ahead of volks in late game, so even with 2 huge buffs, volks would still be infirior. There is such a huge power-gap from early-to-mid-to-late its not even funny.

Vicker's K is locked behind Company Command Post so Raid Sections won't get them until Mid Game. Testing Vet 0 Raid w/ Upgrade vs. Axis Infantry w/ Upgrades will never happen. Raid sections will generally be fighting un-upgraded vs upgraded Grens (probably with better Vet).

Thing is.

1) You can skip bolster
2) You can skip nades (if you need to force enemy out of cover\buildings).
3) You can later skip weapon raks.
4) You skip Med\Pyro.

You lose litteraly nothing at all. Medics can be bought as a unit and heal on the base, and pyro can be given to starting IS.

Point is, you at least skipping 35 fuel upgrade + potentually you are skipping weapon rack upgrade. The fact that you skip Pyro\Meds also allow you to save muni for insta-popping out Vekers.

Raid section litteraly allow you to skip almost all side tech and rush T3 to get Vickers unlock. And its not like T3 is very expensive to just unlock. It would have made mode sence if it was locked behind Hammer or Unvil, but just T3 lock means nothing especially when you save res on everything using raidsections.
