300 would make oberspam totally real. Obers start out incredibly ineffecient for their cost, but their vet makes them the best infantry in the game at vet 4.
I had a vet 4 ober with stg44s advanced upon by 4 vet 0 riflement with bars (in a custom). rifle move through no cover, ober behind a tree.
The ober completely wiped all 4 riflemen, losing only one unit ant ending with around 70% total squad health. Obers are so costly because their vet and weapon upgrades are insane
Mate stop playing against noobs. the situation you described is an epic fail of legendary proportions. And keep in mind that a vet 4 ober squad has done enough damage to put 30-40 man into the ground in terms of damage. More evidence your playing against noobs.
If want to make the argument ineffective now awesome later then the obers are completely wrongly placed. Such units need to be aviable from the start with enhanced vet gains to make up for their weak start. and the new NDA troops are a perfect example to make an unit that follows such a way work.
Obers need to be the best AI infantry in the game of all the infantry they are the only ones that require teching in a faction with the weakest starting infantry. but they are not in fact most elite infantry beat them 1 vs 1 even without upgrades (im looking at you para's )
