a thought the title seems a tad egotistical. these are your opinions not everyone elses, my only gripe.

Whats with the Molotov hate?? Does this ability, which has a very long and easily recognizeable animation, really ruin the early game? I mean, really? Fire nades? Conscripts are designed to be more of a close range units, while Grenadiers are better suited for long range. I really dont see the issue with molotovs at all

People just don't want to micro their units to avoid damage. The only micro germans want to do is micro that causes damage; i.e. rifle grenades.

Dude, we have to back up our tanks a lot, isn't that enough?

But seriously yeah, I think some of us would like to play Ostheer like Soviets, and you can't do that. But how many rifle nades do you have to dodge a match vs Molotovs? I don't think it's that OP, it's just annoying, like a fly you can't quite swat, over and over.

Sure you can. A rifle grenade costs just as much as a oorah+molotov charge.

Just because you can spend all your ammo on upgrades, doesn't mean you have to. You don't have to upgrade vanila grens to beat vanila conscripts. You don't have to get panzerschreks, you don't have to get a flamer halftrack. Having more options ins't a downside to playing germans, it's a bonus.

If you wan't to play germans like soviets, just pretend all those fancy unit upgrades don't exist. Suddenly you will have plenty of ammo for rifle grenades. Or, alternatively, ask relics for more soviet options to spend munitions on; like non-doctrinal conscript DP upgrades, bazookas for penal troops or whatever. Don't ask for nerfs on the one thing soviets have to spend their early game munitions on when the germans have so many nice options.

Molotovs will continue to be a no-brainer until the Soviets get something else to spend their munitions on.

Exactly this.
I don't know how mentally challenged one need to be to think that molotovs will not be the go-to thing when it is the ONLY non doctrinal way of spending munition besides mines.
On top of that, its still additional fuel upgrade, something that germans pay nothing for, because its already included for them.

can relic remove the damage that airplanes do when they crash into the ground? it's the most ridiculous rng in the game in my opinion.

What are you talking about? That' the best RNG!

Obviously. Point remains though.
