Nothing ever stopped anybody from using the specialist inf and Obers combined.
Cost mainly is what stopped that. The OKW call in infantry are all supposed to come in before Obers so generally if you have a large number of infantry already by the time the Schwer is deployed you don't "need" Obers. Or multiple Obers for that matter.
This is especially true with Fallsch, who are quite expensive.
Schrek/volks nerfed, raketen buffed => closer to combined arms approach
No? The nerfs were not nearly significant enough to deter people from getting lots of Volks, and nothing ever will because they are you baseline infantry. They are analogous to riflemen.
KT was rarely used in 1v1 + KT nerfed => better balance in 3v3/4v4 games
So should rarely used units in 1's but excellent in 4's be nerfed? Because the Katyusha is absurdly common in team games but not as much in 1's.
Obers weaker at vet 0, still execptionally strong at high vet => less brainless useage, rewards unit preservation and playing from faction strengths
They aren't weaker at Vet 0, they literally changed nothing about the unit besides the LMG34 doing 25% less damage and being gated. Obers are still ~terminators~.
God the amount of jumping to conclusions here is massive.
