Faster upgrades on allies. Mkay. So rifles are always able to get double bar\lmg by the time you can get VSL. UKF can get double bren+bolster faster then you can get VSL as ost. This is what you are saying right? Because in case of an LMG upgrade, which puts you somewhat on the even ground vs tommy\rifles, VSL skyrockets grens combat perfomance over the vannila rifles\tommy perfomance. Soviets dont even have upgrades, aside from SVT in 1 commander and PPSH which become usefull only on vet 3 cons.
Instead of your babyranging and pointing fingers of fanboyism I suggest you to play the game outside 4v4 Axis.
And on a side note, you dont even understand how VSL works, if you suggest to remove all bonuses but keep everything else as it is.
Bonuses it provides, are the excact reason why VSL damage out-put is getting nerfed. Because guess what, if G43 in your world is so strong by itself (and the 5th model is a standant grenadier model), why G43 on grens is utter trash of an upgrade.
Wow touched a nerve there. And if you think only double weapon upgrade on allied infantry (UKF,US) is enough to compete, think you should play more 1v1 or 2v2 and not blob in 4v4 yourself. 1x Bren, Bar or US lmg already competes and does better damage vs VSL if the RA is removed.
What I am against is giving to long-range infantry STG model for 60 munitions. I have read the patch notes and only thing agree there is the received accuracy bonus needed nerfing. I think you are not understanding what I am saying and what is even talked here.
