I understand that the on/off design due the cover bonus nature of ostruppen is "weird" but its a solid mechanic. You dont see ostruppen blobs A-moving and that is cool for me.

I disagree. The fact that ostruppen are ment to be bad must be respected.

It is the only unit in the game with this level of unintuitive bonus. They virtually don't exist outside of cover. What I propose is nothing that would let them A-move blob, it's just something that doesn't make them awkward to use. I'm sure 90% of casual players don't even know how ostruppen work because of how weird their design is and they use them wrong and it's not their fault.

the cover bonus might be unintuitive at first, but works well enough to give the unit a distinct profile and use. why not simply update the toolip instead to better guide those casual players that don't know how to use osttruppen properly?

They are cheaper then partisans and fight incomparably better, while also scaling decently well into late game with their vet and upgrade.
You can count on osttruppen.

Any weakness of Osttruppen, you should make your build around to compensate.

It should be replaced with a different upgrade making them more durable.

Take away the cover buff/debuff thing.
Make their offensive stats mirror cons.
Maybe allow them to merge.
Keep the price 200mp.
Take away faust.
Take away MG.

Non-issue IMO.

When you must outspam the Allies, Ostruppen are your only real hope as Ostheer. That or Assgrens. You really should be keeping them behind cover anyway due to their 1.25 model size!!!

Its a 200mp mainline infantry.

Yes really, you can!
One of my main commanders is the Ostruppen doctrine.
Love the Pak/MG airdrop for 400 muni, and the artllery field officer with 3 lmg Ostruppens can bring a very nasty surprise for Allied mainline infantry.
The only thing I hate about the doctrine is the railway artillery. You know what I wish the doctrine had? The Flammenpanzer Hetzer 38.
That would make it an absolute badass doctrine.
I also wish the defensive doctrine could be reworked. The HMG bunkers suck for what they do at 320mp.

Don't forget about the bulletin that makes them 2% harder to hit.

If you want a unit which is better as an assault unit or on the move, you use G43 Grens, 5man Grens, Assault Grenadiers or PG.
