Both at nade and Faust have the same damage, and at nade have faster aim time

Updated my error, oops!

However, you are technically incorrect about the aim times. Soviet and British AT nades both have 0.5-1s aiming time, US AT riflenade has 2s aiming time, and the Panzerfaust at 0.125s.

The difference you are looking for is the animation and wind up times: 1.5 seconds for Panzerfaust and 0.25 seconds for Sov/Brit AT nades. Combined with the aim time, that means in total Sov/Brit AT nades have 0.75-1.25 seconds before throwing the AT nade versus the Faust's 1.5 seconds. There is nothing we can do about the animation playback speed, but I doubt losing games because the Faust came off 0.5 seconds on average faster than the Sov/Brit AT nades is a common occurrence. Besides, being able to activate the snare earlier due to higher range partially offsets the higher wind up, since unlike Molotov versus Fantasy Flamenade, the projectile is homing, so in the end the difference is negligible.

AT nade is also on a unit that has sprint.

Conscripts have Oorah, but what other Allied AT nades exist on units with sprint? Do Riflemen and Sappers have sprint? Penals, Cav Rifles, and AT Sections don't have sprint either. OP is talking about all Allied AT nades being generally superior to Faust.

On the other hand, many Axis doctrinal units have snares even if they aren't designed as mainline replacements or dedicated AT squads: Osttruppen, Jager, Fallschirmjager. They have mainline replacements that also have snare OR AT upgrade (Panzerfusilier) as well. That's 3/4 combat capable infantry squads that can snare and also fight well against infantry at all stages of the game (if we ask Hans, that's 4/4). Meanwhile the Allied snare call ins are... Meme AT Partysans, AT Section, or Cav Rifles. The only combat-capable squad is Cav Rifles, which is 1/3.

Additionally, Fallschirmjagers can stealth + Faust, and Ambush Camo Grens can do the same. These doctrines are generally a lot more competitive choices than Soviet Tank Hunter or Partisan tactics, which include the only Allied units capable of doing the same.

I think allowing live 7-man cons to have slot items AND 7-man is way too overkill. The survivability increase with DPS increase plus all the extras of 7-man are too powerful to co-exist with slot items fairly.

7-man cons are easily one of the best upgrades in the whole game. So much so that it makes doctrinal items (that were previously considered "good") like PPSh or SVT40 cons less desirable.

If slot item cons with the upgrade is to be considered, then the 7-man model will need a serious nerf or tone down to compensate.

I wouldn't mind a rework of Mobilized Reserves that performs like this:
* Lower cover bonus (15-25% weapon cooldown reduction instead of 30%)
* No extra man
* No cheaper reinforce (current reinforce time bonus is okay)
* Revert locked behind tech back to T4
* Allow for slot item/doc upgrades to be used (PPSh should take 1 slot size)
* Global upgrade for all Cons
I also wouldn't mind seeing Mobilized Reserves auto-unlocking molotov+at nade if they weren't already purchased, but hey, that's just me.

Any stronger maxim, we need to look at wehr counter
Right now, they are just enough to handle maxim.
And again i disagree maxim spamming is because of poorer suppression
Spamming is to make use of its fast reposition and higher model counts.

Come on now...

The options for Wehr vs Soviet MG are the same options for Soviet vs Wehr MG: mortars, snipers, and flanking.

As a bonus for Wehr, if Soviets have Maxim out, that player probably doesn't have a sniper for countersniping, allowing you to fully utilize Ostheer sniper's fast rate of fire.

Why should Ostheer counters against Maxim need to be any more effective than Soviet counters against MG42?

What about nerfing its cone to DsHk levels and then giving a cover bonus ala Tommies, except instead of cooldown and accuracy it gets more suppression and its .50 cal style arc back? (No arc changes in garrison)

Basically it would live suppression with lower cone out of cover, but better suppression with live cone in cover.

and reduce price to 240

As for sniper training in WWII, you are correct that the US Army did not have a formal service wide sniper program. Sniper programs however did exist within the Army and Marines during WWII, they just weren’t like they are today. They were divisional and regimental level schools out on by individual units that wanted to do it, so US snipers varied wildly in quality. Many divisions had no trained snipers like you said, and used their sniper rifles in what we today would call a designated marksman role. But that’s not always the case. An interesting note I found in a book called “US Infantry Weapons in WWII and Korea”, a soldier recalled being sent to sniper training where he was instructed by an FBI man who was also Olympic shooter. Crazy story that I didn’t totally believe until I found an article about this man in a magazine. The FBI man was undoubtably Walter Walsh, and this is a great example of how US sniper training did exist, but was also very different from unit to unit.

Also, I’m sorry if any of this came off as rude, I don’t intend to be rude to anyone here, but I do get very passionate about history sometimes.

Don't worry, not offended. I get passionate too about history and its actually really good to see other people on the forum that still care about it rather than the "iTs JusT a gAeM bRo, no nEEd foR hIsToRY" that is spoken here far too often.

Interesting, not aware of the ad-hoc sniper schools on various unit levels. Still though, since they weren't officially instated, and there are already existing candidates for reworking into potential anti-sniper units, I'd still say we shouldn't add a USF sniper. CoH2 has enough rarities and oddities, and it doesn't need more imo.
