I'm glad they're focusing on the important issues instead of nerfing the Walking Stuka or Obers or something like that. Now if only Penals and Conscripts could get nerfed too we'll be on the right track.
This is in line with my experiences from the 1v1s I've done today. I had a P4 kill 4 out of 5 riflemen in an almost full health squad, all with a single shot. I'm not sure if this is a good change or not, but it's definitely a huge one.
