But then you still dont have any additional incentive to get an ostwind anyway once you get your t4 up.

The whole point of tying the ostwind to t4 was to shutdown the okw scavenge callin build. 2 trucks and 6-8 cp is just asking for that back. Everyone will do mech into battlegroup into ostwind spam again, effectively killing all build diversity. As someone who used scavenge both before and after the patch, scavenge is a lot more healthy for the game and interesting to choose in the current patch.

Its cool and all to propose a bunch of changes so you can contribute ideas, but changing things for the sake of changing them is not the way to go.

I was wondering if the Armor doctrine and M10 could resurrect with the new Axis medium tank meta in 2vs2. If only we could get ride out of the Crew upgrade bullshit and have something useful instead.

My point still stands because scaling infantry > reset vet on elites. You can test the single BAR vs infantry squads in cheatmods if you don't believe me. Free unlock is a cop out in this arguement. I could say the same about free squads, or more starting resources, or cheaper teching for brits.

That's the problem as i've stated before. You cannot have 1 side have good scaling infantry while the other is forced to reset their vet and get elites. This game is based on veterancy and retreat, so the player with the better vet units will have the advantage.

How is that "reset", your grens and volks are still there with their own vet acquiered during the game.

Aye and that's the problem. People are upset that allies have the ability to scale so well while axis are limited and reset to go into elite infantry.

Then they can play Allies factions. But just to be precise, Riflemen with 1 BAR doesn't scale at all in late game. It doesn't even scale anymore the moment Gren get their LMG42 or Volks their STG pack.

tbh idk. Allies or Axis are in a weird spot depending on which you consider the weird one. OKW for example, is currently meant to use volks for early through mid then transition to obers for lategame infantry. While the idea sounds ok, Obers then arrive w/o vet against already vetted infantry and soon if not already upgraded allied infantry. Which means they become bleed machines till they hit about vet 2.

Essentially imo all factions need either strong scaling infantry from the start, like allies currently have with weapon upgrades, or they need elite infantry in lategame like OKW has. But having both leads to 1 faction being stronger than the other, because one faction needs to rebuild vet, while the other doesn't.

I don't see you complaining that vet2 Obers can shutdown any infantry squad with no problem, even double BARs vet3 riflemen. I mean, they can literally face on a no cover ground a HMG.30 in yellow cover and win the engagement with maybe 1 model dropped. (from my own experience several times)
As USF player, seeing obers on the field means build Scott or Sherman HE because there is literally nothing else that can counter them not including a heavy bleed. It is interesting that when they reach that state, you consider them as fine, but not overpowered like they simply counter with not trouble their own counter. But if this unit appear to be a riflemen or a tommy, then they are OP.

But my question still stand, what do you expect with a 1 weapon upgrade change for the USF and UKF. If we do like Katikof or GentlemenTroll say, that would be a buff to them because it means having the equivalent of dual BARs or dual Bren in one weapon for maybe 70/80 munition and a lot sooner in the game. This would definitively be broken.

So I assume people who want to reduce the weapon slot for USF and Tommy want a nerf. So my question still stand what do they expect from that nerf, RM and Tommies at Gren/Volks level (but more expensive) and even more vulnerable vs Obers or Pzgren or Sturmp or any kind of infantry superior to Axis basic ones.
What kind of balance do they want to achieve here.
