The issue here is the difficulty in using shocks. For such a premium unit they sure don't feel premium. If our goal is to leave room for assault rifles we could easily reduce the price of shocks. Right now a unit with a huge premium and no ability to merge is just not going to be attractive.
Last thing here is that if a range is very rare, i.e., 10m, for infantry to fight in, then having a unit dedicated to this makes for very niche use. Since shocks are scattered amongst the commanders I would like to see them be more useful.
We are not talking about making them all carry 1919's.
That is simply because Penals, Riflemen (dual weapons), IS (dual weapons) and ST44 Volksgrenadiers are OP.
Obers come allot later, are more expensive, need a weapon upgrade and are not more cost efficient then shocks.
It imo that units, not being used, should not be buffed but units that mostly used to be nerfed.
The longer fight last the more tactical they become and the less RNG.
I really don't see the issue with range 10 thou it the range that the "point blank" mechanism and any unit attacking another in cover should move that close to negate the enemy cover bonus.
Smg should be designed to be good firing on the move and at close distances (0-10).
