i would rather they make the mp40 upgrade stock instead of the STG upgrade, make the HE nade default and the flame nade behind the MP40 upgrade (this converts the volks to counter garrisons and CQB fighting but with a trade off (the STG offers little in the way of "trade offs" and the MP40 isnt good enough to warrant getting a shittier grenade instead of the flame nade
i would love for the schwewre to come earlier and cheaper BUT have a side grade that is required for the AA gun as well as the panther and KT tech and obers LMG
this would mean obers come earlier to take the weight off of the volks and give them time to vet before allies reach critical mass, but not be too strong (LMG), also gives spec ops a nice niche by allowing the STGs more room to pick over the LMG and the panther fits in nicley there too
this would also mean the P4 comes out a bit earlier giving it a bit of room to warrant its large cost
Ahahahahhahahahah.
Are you serious ?
Oh god i'm crying for too much laughing... ok let me list a few points from your post, just to make sure i understood everything perfectly:
1) Volks nondoc being a cqb unit is totally legit, but the faction has another early cqb unit right from the start.
THIS OBVIOUSLY because of the widespread "Muh coh1 perfect game evah and volks had mp40 there" totally ignoring different faction design and units in different games, as well as costs and intended roles.
The only upgrade that would make volks truly complementary to sturms is being made doctrinal...apparently because why not ?
2) The "HE" grenade is weak AF (TRUE POINT), and your solution to it, instead of a proper buff (that would make it perfect as sturm can use flamethrower and volks get a good wiping granade as they don't need anti garrison) is to give volks the shitty grenade that was already removed as it was useless and made okw killable within min 3 by mg spam.
Meanwhile Feuersturm would have a flame grenade (anti garrison), a flamethrower (antigarrison) and a flame tank (anti infantry/garrison)...
3) Mp40 is trash (TRUE POINT, how would you call an upgrade that makes a more expensive squad (volks mp40) be straight up worse both in utility and raw performances to cons ppsh ?), so the solution is to force it down players throat
4) Volks getting a no brainer upgrade is not ok, rifles, IS, grens and so on are ok.
All range improvements, present from the very moment this game has been relased are suddenly an issue.
