Or maybe use cover with your volks... I mean if they're blobbing cover will really give you the advantage instead of a-moving or something, and you got flamenades too.
At first sight it does seem unfair. But grens only need to reinforce 4 models (120 mp). If penals get down to one man,a player will need to spend 5x25 = 125 and having multiple penal squads, will start costing you dearly in the long run. For riflemen, it is a different story. USF has nothing else than these units at the start of the game, making them expensive (as they once were), would make USF obsolete since the bleed and upkeep would keep them locked in their place. USF is one of the easiest factions to bleed with sniper play or good mg and grenadier placement because they only have riflemen at the start. Add in a mortar and they will cry themselves into a corner (unless you play on maps that favor USF). This makes the 112 mp reinforcement cost (for 4 models per squad if down to 1 model) a hefty cost when you have 3 or 4 running around.
How often do you use Wehrmacht bunkers and what for ?
Forward reinforcement bunker in combination with a halftrack for reinforcement on offensive maneuvers. I also regularly use bunkers as predetermined defensive hardpoint setups where I can simply retreat to and drop of my mg42 from my halftrack and set them up in the bunker. Works wonders!
also, I made a thread about this but it got locked and made invisible because I wanted to petition the US gov't for sanctions against him for not doing it :/
No more in the sense of semis. Yet the point is, no idiot will eat soap, whether an organizer thinks its cool or not.
Yep, this essentially feels like a new Osttruppen doctrine, but if it's really needed is another question. Rather have a unique one, where Volkssturm actually has its place.
Since Volks become pretty versatile on most ranges after the MP44 upgrade, I wonder what the advantage of this unit would be and why I would waste a good doctrine for this one? So you can spam them out in order to occupy all houses like Osttruppen? In combination with the very potent Sturmpionier, who can clear some houses in the super-early game, this might actually be too good - or completely useless, hard to tell. But in general I dont see the advantage of Volkssturm over the ordinary Volksgrenadiere...
Yeah feels the same as choosing conscripts over penals. You don't.
