volksgrenadier modernization MP-40 and Senior Sergeant

OKW starts with a bunch kubelwagen+assault engineers, which successfully forced the front. BUT 3+ squad allies, when the presence of micro successfully inflict serious damage to the kubelwagen and assault engineers - as a result forcing them to retreat for repairs. At this time volksgrenadier killed in skirmishes with arrows ( they reduce the distance to the middle and effectively kill hail of bullets), recruits ( 6 people behind cover they prestrelivaut ), prison battalions. Ie, if OKW resorts to using the machine gun doctrine calculations - area-60-70% remains for the allies. Means and resources more,and artillery closer. OKW is as far as I understand - efficient lightweight technology with the support of the small but powerful groups of professionals and medium-sized, numerous, universal volksgrenadiers. In practice, this concept is very lame, like the rest of middle class technology due to the abundance of at-weapons in the squads. And if the U.S., the Axis give ammo for heavy weapons squad, the USSR gets half for the requisition.

I also hope volks to scale better, but automatic weapon upgrade seems a bit off from their design.

The only adequate upgrade on volks I can think of is giving them one or two G43.

5 MP40's for 70 ammo

Is there anything really that wrong with Volks getting less useful as the game goes on? The same thing happens with conscripts. Both can build sand bags. Volks at least have the potential to become potent against tanks - they are the largest shrek wielding squad in the game.

5 MP 40 are not worth 70 ammo.

Another idea: Take away from the doctrine of breakthrough Assault-officer and he is based at the headquarters of the OKW. It features: the squad consists of an officer, 2 grenadiers with guards-43. Abilities: A) upon his death squads very close to him away,but the troops in the middle distance is suppressed to yellow. b) Instead of leaflets and other rubbish, is the challenge of a smokescreen using the stuff for 30 rounds(5 sticks). b) Passive aura - increases the survivability of units in shelters. The accuracy of fire and reload speed is constantly at +3/5/7% depending on the level of experience of the officer. g) Binoculars - activates the ability - the party is, and visibility is increased, but the angle is narrowed as the su-85. d) at 2 and 4 levels receive 1 additional Grenadier in the squad.

Disagree, that's way too similar to Panzerfusiliers.

5 MP40's for 70 ammo
or 1 shrek for 90 ammo
Id be happy with them two as options.

Actually more similar to Jaegers. Panzerfusiliers on their part at least have a bit of surivability due to larger squad size.

This, MP-40's in this game are horrible.
