Light tanks pop cap increase?

Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2019, 14:05 PMmrgame2

There is debate about Allies strong LV phase.

Perhaps we should start by increasing their pop cap +1?

T70 - 6
Luch - 6
FHT - 6
Puma - 7
222 - 4
Stuart - 6
M8 - 6
AEC - 6

While a pop increase won't have an impact at the time, it will have a very small impact on manpower income. I don't think it's necessary personally, especially since that would create a snowball effect that could be hard to predict the impact of.

Actually, its easy to predict the impact of it, since it subtracts a set amount of mp per pop 1,5 to 1.
After having light on field for 20 minutes, you'd be able to reinforce 1 gren less.

Pop changes make sense exclusively in pop heavy units or spammable units, they do literally nothing to units that die fast and never are being built more then 1 per game.

This would just further punish keeping your light vehicles alive into the late game, a point in time where they are already painfully useless atm (with the possible exception of Puma and AEC, and even those are questionable*)


*Stuart also has one somewhat useful ability for versing tanks, and then a suicide snare button in the engine block shot ability

As point out the problem with Lv is the shock value and not their spammability.

Pop cap increase fix spam issus.

Actually some vehicle like M3,kubel,223,UC,WC51 should probably have their pop reduced with veterancy

I've been told that the manpower saved from con 7 man in 5-10 minutes is eniugh to buy a zis, a mortar, a maxim and multiple tanks so the passive lost mp from 1 pop cap could be paramount!

You’ve been told that 7man cons are too manpower efficient in the late game and should be nerfed by removing xp gain

How is the XP gain bonus relevant to manpower efficiency? Cons should already be vet 3 or nearly vet 3 once they get the upgrade. This bonus merely serves to make replacing a lost squad less painful, as a substitute to vet up a bit more easily in the late game environment, that other mainline infantry have by having a stock weapons upgrade available.
