I doubt that it will continue to be with his time frame, the new UKF smgs units, Assault Engineer, PPSh conscripts, SVT Cosncripts, shock troops.
Even As. Grenadier that arrive earlier and can upgrade to an extra man will probably struggle.
At the very least the units could use reinforcement time and cost discount.
Isn't it a problem other stuff is simply too good for its price, or some other things simply sucks?
For me it would be more relevant to:
Ostheer:
- buff Ostheer's Pios: giving them Lugars instead, giving them K98k (Volks version) if upgraded to Flamer or Sweeper, so they become as effective as soviets Pios in that role, while un-upgraded their weapon-profile is for close-combat WITHOUT using MP40 for evey bull-sh*t.
- giving Grens non-doc shock-nade, so they get a more individually use on assault and defense. Ability to hold ground to move support weapons, so e.g. Shock-troups can't simply overrun eveything. (change doc-shot-nade to Granatenhagle-M24 as OKW, or Assaultgrens have)
general:
- nerfing all line-infantry grenades to level of Panzerfüseliers/Guards, HARD nerf to prevent all that fast fuks while using standard stuff.
Soviets:
- reducing soviets crews to 5 men, after all the buffs (and nerf for Germans) support weapons.
There are so many things changing game into a direction so Officer doesn't need to become better.
