When re crewing as Ostheer your go to should be either Pio's or Grens (even better if you use Stormtroopers). When doing so as OKW never using anything other than Sturms.

exactly, so the reinforce will bleed you hard. the crew defense weapons hardly matter, if a weapon is flanked it needs to retreat unless you have some infantry nearby. and by your logic, it makes sense to pay 32 instead of 23 (in okw's case) just to have these extra weapons. you must enjoy mp bleed.

30* for Sturms. And weapon crews receives the native received accuracy of the squad that re-crewed the weapon. It makes MG's, AT guns, and other front line weapons much more powerful because they are a lot harder to kill than they normally would be.

You will bleed much less in the long run because you will be suffering much less causalities due the received accuracy (especially make's it harder to kill the weapon on retreat).

Also, weapon teams like mg's loose their members to explosions and flanks 85% of the time. The little bit of less received accuracy doesnt change a thing. You retreat anyway because this stat doesnt make your crew members much tougher. And you pay 30 for a crew member in your base. It doesnt make sense.
