Overall, Im sorry to say I really dont like the suggestion. Changes so many figures and timings that its hard to anticipate what results it will concretely have, especially in conjunction with infantry call-ins that no longer need a building.
Throws all the buildtimes and costs into a complete jumble, and would be confusing as hellmfor new players. It was extremely confusing for me even, though Im looking at the numbers.
Looking at the build times and costs, its only T1 that stands out.
T2+ are fine.
Infact I think the delay and cost of T2+ is pretty grossly overstated by many, in light of the actual cost/buildtime.
T1 stands out, however, because of a real ingame factor these figures dont show, which is that Ost T0 is utterly meaningless, whereas Sov provides Cons.
Overall the only buildtime/cost I would touch with even a 10ft pole, is the T1.
And even that, with very great caution and reluctance.
The T2+buildtimes and costs really are very similar, and not at all what I was led to believe by reading many posts here. I suspect that some Sov players have completely forgotten to include Battlephase buildtime and cost in their considerations.
Infsact, inlight of these figures, Im almost angry considering what Ive read from Sov players, and taken at their word.
These figures dont mstch the picture they have painted, at all.
If anything, my direct suggestion to Sov, is to build 2 CEs, and effectively halve the T1 buildtime, making it equal with Ost T1. Yes, that may effect capping potential, but its a direct solution to those 20s saved, if that build window really is that narrow in their opinion. I furthermore think Sov are blatantly abusing the +50 fuel, not inline with its intended use. People arent choosing between faster tech, mollies and ATNades, instead they want and expect to get all 3. Im convinced, looking st these figures, that that is not intended, and is also not inline with basic Gren/Con ewuivalency considering free Merge and Oorah, for which their is no Ost equivalent.
And wtf is this about Penals not arriving in time vs LMGs? Look at the build times. First Penal (also accounting for Penals 360MP buildtime) can hit the field long before any Gren can even dream about a LMG, the Muni just doesnt roll in at that timing yet.
The irony about people who have critiqued me about not playing Sov, and therefore not knowing what Im talking about, where right, but not in the sense that I was clueless, but in the sense I couldnt detect their bullshit because I didnt know any better and took them blindly at their word.
