Not to mention whole RNGod damn infantry formations.
By the time when mp happens, there were still conscripts, but most of the advancing armies consisted of guard and shock armies battle hardened veterans instead of lousy conscripts after a week of training.
And we have conscripts and penals who are unable to hit anything above 15 range, being the most inferior infantry on the long range combat without having any of the benefits of short range that other armies wouldn't have already as well, cons don't even have survivability until vet3.
I don't believe cons will see any change, but can I haz useful, long range oriented penals instead of penals overlaping with cons and being vastly inferior to cons if you pick any weapon upgrade doctrine?
