What about giving sturmpios schrecks and slightly reducing their reinforce cost from 40 to 35 once upgraded?
IIRC PGs cost 42MP to reinforce and also cost you 320MP. So, Sturms are already pretty cheap.
IF sturms had the stats of pgs I wouldnt have an issue wit this but they are too easily killed. Instead of a uni that wont die and a unit that will die how about a middle ground? I remember at one point some people complained of sturm spam..I never saw how those things die really fast under any concentration of fire.
Sturms have 13% less received accuracy, PGs have 20% less received accuracy.
Sturms get -46% received acccuracy with vet, PGs get -29% rec. acc.
PGs cost you 320MP, Sturms don't (if you don't lose them).
PGs come out later (and proably have to fight against vetted / upgraded troops) whereas Sturms are your starting infantry and can be supported by a Kubel so that they don't take too much damage.
Sturms can die just as easily as PGs. I don't understand how they are "a unit
they that
WILL die".
