Doesn't matter how they have always been used if it's incorrect to how they are meant to be used. The m10 always was used as the best AI vehicle in the game until it wasn't because that was not how it was supposed to be used. Ostroppen are bodies for a fragile faction, not infantry replacements
Moving Osttruppen to t1 in there current state will kill two doctrines, all I'm asking for is a minor improvement to their combat ability by removing their out of cover penalty to compensate for being move to t1. They will still be the worst then Grens in everyway except for manpower cost.
