I think it is more of "What can we do to make Cons better while also being unique."

As others have already said in the thread, there are already too many LMGs in the game. Do we really want another unit to just stand still in green cover with an LMG upgrade late game? Sure maybe giving them 1-2 DPs would make them stronger, but it also doesn't really contribute to the diversifying the game in any meaningful fashion. It'd be yet another no-brainer upgrade because it is a strict increase in squad performance that everyone always gets... pretty much like the LMG42 is now.

I'd just rather see a cooler way to improve Cons. Plus infantry weapon upgrades have always been a huge pain in the ass to balance... and they still are. Most of the infantry combat problems in CoH 2 are still related to weapon upgrades.

What about giving cons a 7th model at vet 2 like rear echalon?

Cons become a 7 men squad with vet 2. Why not? Soviets compensate their inferiority with superior numbers is the main idea behind Sov faction in coh2 if I get it right.

Can't help but feel like conscripts don't need LMGs, it's the LMGs of other factions that need a nerf. They remove a large part of the depth behind infantry combat since now standing still at max range is the most efficient.

Now pack these 7 men behind a tractor to give them green cover and let them defend themselves against that MG42. What? They got suppressed because 1 of them standed aside as there was not enough space for him? They got #rekt? What a shame.

Good vet and cold immunity would be nice

Germans get cold immunity and Soviets don't, I mean WTF?

Could solution be removing LMGs from the game altoghether?

Let infantry just shoot rifles. why not
