I always am sad when my Obers get to vet 4 and stop dealing nearly as much damage.

How? Passive suppression, passive healing (Vet 3), - 49% received accuracy in total for the smallest target-size squad in the game (from 0.7 down to 0.357), + 40% accuracy and - 25% weapon cooldown... That's god-like as f*ck! Maybe just me, but I love Obersoldatens the same way I love water. At least 1 of them and your army feels way much better in terms of AI. And then, not to mention the squad-spacing buff in the next patch, they gonna get way much better. If you still get them, keep doing it! That's very good!‎

I caught a legendary pokemon once. This felt infinitely better.

Lol. What does it actually do better at vet 5? Was it noticeable?

Recieved accuracy bonus of -29% and passive suppression.

It did dodge a jackson and an m1 57mm round. The suppression also worked decent enough when you could get long sustained bursts off. So yeah I noticed it, but it's not game changing vet bonuses and you can't expect your kubel to do much more than a vet1. Essentially it goes back to the role it starts in where it harrasses infantry with your squads tanking the damage. The big vet bonus imo is vet 3 where you get the self heal out of combat.

To get to vet 5 you need the unit to do insane amount of damage, and if it did, then you've already won the game, that's the problem. A vet 5 tank means it killed pretty much everything your opponent had.
It's sad because okw's bonus levels of veterancy are a cool flavorful aspect that helps make the army unique, but then it very rarely comes into play beyond volks.
To me it would just make more sense for levels 4 and 5 to take as much exp as level 3, with bonuses adjusted so it's not too crazy.

Remember in the new patch some units share vet, so some of these units (noticeably the kubel) which was not usable after minute 8 because it could not stay in the fight to gain vet, and its scaling was too slow to keep up, will still have some role. Vet 5 kubel is actually quite good at harassment, it can suppress lone squads easily, self heals, and moves like the devil.
