I genuinely think the main issue with t3476 is against OKW nomad shrek squad numbers by the time it hits the field. Your last tier is main assault tank is hard countered by every main infantry squad on the field even ignoring all other AT and tank options.

With OH I am fine with the T34 if the machine gun damage was more effective vs infantry if the main guns going to be so in accurate. Similar buff to the AEC gun was implemented and I'd like the same type offered here. I'd take about a 20mp drop as well just to be greedy.

I think OKW is fine at the moment, the resource penaltie was moved from the income to the actual value at the end

I see this a lot. The fuel isn't the only resource. They are to me in a decent spot as far as vehicles costing goes (except some of the ones that missed the fuel cost hikes.. I am looking at you ST and InfraHT).

However when I play with them I feel I float munitions and MP like no tomorrow. The reason Voks/Shrek upgrades are such a pain in the arse is because they float so much munitions that they can unlock so many. Yes it drops the AI power dropping the rifle from the squad but the XP they gain from hitting vehicles means they can vet very fast which negates this until everyone is running maxed out units.

In team games this is compounded because of the ridicules increase in resources. It isn't difficult to unlock 5-8 squads with the AT package especially stacking the cost reduction bulletin. If there was side tech and munition sinks this would help reduce the Shrek swarms we currently see.

I am not saying reduce munitions income but I am saying if they want the roaming squads of AT they should have to sacrifice something else for it in the form of passive heals on building for both men and vehicles. The auto cannon on the T4 building (I don't want it to delay when it gets the cannon so offer two build options. One costing the same fuel and MP and the other with a munition costs so it can come at the same speed).

All good Mistah, if you hadn't asked it I would of. I haven't played Sov in a long while and was unwittingly using cons to merge with Shocks/guards to save on MP but should of known better.

Have been playing them more though with the changes to VET actually working and been hammering the T1 penals with the accuracy vets now working and satchel fixed into guards -> T85s with mixed success and wondering if the merge was going to hamper my guards. They going to address the buy back of the dropped guards rifles though? They drop off in dps the longer you preserve them which is counter intuitive to the vet system.

Cheers for the info Cookies

Does the merging units keep the original stats of the conscript squad they came from?

This is how I always thought it worked. For example a conscript merging with a guards/shock unit do not magically become 6 guards/shocks with all the normal stats do they?

I have a follow up question if they do not relating to the vet process transition from the original members to the new squad if they do not.

Can anyone advise if the bug applying to the American Crews with even more then the 25% increased accuracy applies to the 50cal or did it get fixed with everything?
