So based

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

I really hated what they did to Ostruppen in the final patch. They should be a T0 unit but they decided to put in T1. If they were in T0, then it opens more possibilities to skip T1. There is reason why I changed them quite a bit in my mod's. Accuracy penalty/buff system they have is stupid as well. In my mod, I changed it so they receive less damage while in cover rather than they can not fight unless in cover. This makes them more generally convenient and have the possibility on them able to flank reasonably if needed.

Yeah i agree. Osttruppen are only really "usefull" in meme setups with Osttruppen spam or something similar. I wish they would build from the HQ or be called in.

After playing some Osttruppen recently i must say that they definetly still work even if it sucks that you have to build them out of the t1 building. Essentially going for 1 more Osttruppen then you would Grens and supplement them with Mg, Mortar/Sniper and Panzergrens and you have a solid frontline that can HOLD the enemy while the Pgrens and the support deal with the enemy. Though i only had success with this strategy on maps with many buildings and/or green cover to survive the early until i spammed green cover everywhere with the Osttruppen to hold and slowly conquer territory.

You can count on them ! No, really you can !
