No one questions ppsh being good, you have that mentioned in the thread multiple times.
No one cares how you can use them with the doctrines, that's the fucking point of this thread, its about their out of the gate performance and (lack of) scaling if you don't pick these doctrines.
If you need to pick a "right" doctrine just to make your mainline infantry work, then that mainline infantry is underpowered, since weapon upgrade seems to be out of question and vet and weapon tweaks proved to do absolutely nothing, only other solution to make them worth something is to cut the cost.
They do not perform nor scale like 240mp unit.
So would making conscript cheaper come with a nerf for PSSH and repair cons?
Because if I pick the "right" doctrine I now get an equally powerful squad for even cheaper.
Not even worth considering a buff unless it's other utilities get nerfed. No singular infantry in this game is anywhere near as flexible as cons.
