Profile of Vipper

The problem of Lend-Lease commander: if against you OKW, the aircraft with fuel will not reach your base. In the end: a ton of ammo that has nowhere to spend. So you can buy weapons at a double price

P.S. Who needs the Guards Motorized Group? They are so rare

The plane is map depended. There are maps that is impossible to shoot it down.

No need to merge bunker/fighting position and HMGs. One might want to use the for garrison only

I don't really understand why everyone wants the StG-upgrade for Volks to be a role changing upgrade, when the BAR for Riflemen isn't one either, especially as the effect of the StGs is much less an issue (even compared to only one BAR, which costs less).

I do not know about everyone but for me, for same reasons that i find that LMG on riflemen, buffing SVT's DPS by X2, Penal's PTRS as not good designs.

Weapon profiles and relative positioning.

"Weapon profiles" is the concept that:
A)weapons should be categorized, so that players would not what to expect from their units without having to memorize all DPS curves.
B)Each weapon category should have a range that they excel instead of being about the same in all ranges, so that experienced players could make most out of there units.

Now OKW have a St44 on V.G. with completely different characteristic than the St44 on SP (The Ober ST44 is less of in issue). (The same way that WBP there 3 different types of PTRS with different characteristics)

"Relative positioning" is the concept that:
The player should be able to influence the result of fight by better positioning his units. For instance in a fight Riflemen vs V.G. the fight will go better for V.G. in it long range and worse if in mid range. The ST44 upgrade reduces the benefit the rifles will get by moving closer and thus reduces the players chance to influence the fight. (The same LMG riflemen can use their long range DPS to prevail even if the fight took place in long range.)

Vipper your trying to hide a nerf with a buff that isn't needed, Brits have mediums. Valentine, in its present form is fine if its crushing infantry it going to be met by a P4 very very soon. For the value the commander currently offers, to harass OKW trucks in the later game it does that job and just that job well. + 240 range sexton is hardly a problem either, as the unit is rarley seen for its normal range. Also to use said ability the Valentine with its low HP and armor must go in to deploy the ability.

That sentence makes very little sense, but I also sense that there is little chance of communicating so I will leave it to that.

The commander has 2 good abilities "Early warning" and "Concentration barrage" (only if you pick hammer).

Valentine can be used mostly for the Radar or for providing a smoke screen. If one want to use it in fight better to used it for "crushing".

Sexton tents to fire with little angular scatter but it has rather low range.

Perimeter over-watch is a waste of MU imo.

The cost of the entity itself is related to the squad value....

No it is related to the squad value divided to number of models. As simple as that. The XP rewarded are exactly that (multiplied for each vet level as pointed out by Mr.Smith)

Killing half of a penal squad is worth more than killing half of a grenadier squad.

Yes but 3 Penal model have more Hp and more EFH then 2 grenadier models.

Squad balance and dps is designed to reflect the differences in number of models.

This is fairly off-topic anyways, I don't believe the difference is meaningful enough to matter. The actual combat effectiveness of the units offsets the increased vet they give out.

As you have pointed out there is little balance in WFA armies and EFA. A heavy sapper with 3 LMGs (2 V-k 1 bren) is hardly balanced in DPS or as squad cost.

In the end of the you seem to agree with my point. Axis infantry do not have advantage in veting faster for attacking higher value squads.
