Agree, like someone said before;
not to go off topic, but it is a shame when people call for maxim nerfs without compensating somewhere else. I think the true problem is not maxim strength (maybe they work too well..), but Soviet non-doctrinal infantry just plain suck. Relying on shocks and guards to be your core infantry stink because they are doctrinal
Doctrinal infantry are meant to supplement your force but I see more people using them as their force.
One thing I always didn't understand, why should volksgrenadiers, grenadiers, osttruppen have different damage output? Wouldn't it make more sense if it the difference between them was accuracy instead of damage? Maybe Conscripts, Volks and osttruppen should have lower damage because the number of men (gameplay reason) but getting hit by a 7.92mm isn't really much different from getting hit by a 7.62 right? If the damage of conscripts, osttruppen were higher, then they would be more useful right?
