Sander's personal balance changes

Thoughts on V4

Just thinking aloud, I think it might actually be better to remove their G43 instead of the RA bonus. It would promote using 5 men Grens as your really sturdy mainlines with free healing while mixing in 1 to 2 LMG Grens inbetween for dps. Currently the G43 makes them too blob friendly, making them better at short/mid range, better at chasing and better at retaining dps. Removing their G43 would also mean less overlap in role of VSL Grens with G43 Grens.

Here's some ideas to touch-up underused Ostheer commanders and abilities, let me know what you think. Might do Soviets as well in the future.

@JibberJabberJObber: Thx for your great post, underused Wehrmacht commanders are long overdue for some improvements. If you want to see what other players suggested, take a look here:

Here is my own idea for a slight rework for "Mechanized" referring to your own suggestion:
- Mechanized Assault Group
- Smoke Bombs
- Spotting scopes
- Command P4
- Emergency repairs
leFh doesnt fit thematically to the commander. Vehicle repairs fits a lot better and will be helpful in all stages of the game.

But if we are to get another patch, the changes should remain small, so everyone can agree upon them. Lots of small and safe changes is better than more drastic changes that would have more impact on balance and would thus require more testing and be fewer in number.

This the problem is not with shape but with that weapon profile modifiers did not have its damage updated and thus it does far to less damage (I think mortar half truck also)

Riegel could use some changes such as lower time to plant and/or be available to more units maybe AT pgs?

Interesting.

I actually saw the ability used for the first time in a few years yesterday, in a match between GiaA and Jimmy. The incendiary bombs landed on two AT guns, one had 4 crew members and 40% hp total, the other had 2 crew members at full hp. The incendiary bombs weren't able to finish off a single crew member. GiaA did respond quickly by reversing them out of the flames, but they were in there for at least 5 seconds not receiving much damage.

It still wouldn't fit Storm Doctrine. That said, adding them to Schrecked Panzergrenadiers would be a good addition for Jaeger Armor and would be fair if the commander gets toned down in the 2 ways suggested (no Spotting Scope for Elefant and Stuka Dive Bomb replaced with AT strafe pass).

I agree with everyone you wrote.I just think changing the "gren mechanized group" to "Mechanized Assault Group" is no big deal so we could replace 1 more ability. The small changes to "Festung Support" and "Storm" will make this commanders more attractive, so removing 1 leFh should be doable.

Can the Conscript PPSH assault package be looked at? It kinda lackluster as an upgrade and kinda expensive as a side grade. I would prepose 1 of 2 things:
1. change the muni cost to 45 for the 3 PPSH.
2. Give 6 PPSH instead of 3 for 60 muni.
