After giving sappers snares, the section faces less light vehicles which is basically a buff to their performance, but nothing was taken in return. Section were allowed to be op vs infantry because they could be countered by light vehicles VERY easily. Now Brits have hands down the EASIEST time countering lights. There are plenty of relics in the Brit faction. The only reason why the reinforce cost is less than gren despite man-for-man completely dominating grens is the silly excuse of the Ost sniper doing its job. Now with the Brit sniper coming in at around 5min, I think it's fair that the reinforce cost be increased to 30, and that may still be a bargain compared to what grens are getting. But I know the allied players on this forum will go batshit crazy that a unit completely superior to another now costs the same to reinforce as that unit (allied players logic.)
So my proposal is to simply revert the out of cover buffs that were given to the sections.
If u wanna use an a-move blob, play USF or OKW. Brits are supposed to play defensive early game but the bolster comes so early and the out of cover buffs allow Brits to be an offensive faction. 5man section just one-ups all other infantry. Honestly the timing for the bolster should also be looked into, but like I said, it would be very "triggering" to certain players. So I want to keep any changes modest and stick to reverting the out of cover buffs.
Your suggested changes were tried and then reverted in testmod a year ago, mostly because 280mp sections got walked over by volks and even ostruppen.
Constantly dodging infiltration nades is tiresome enough with 5 men let alone 4. Then as others have mentioned 5man is a countermeasure Vs wehr sniper cheese. Locking it behind T3 would just make wehr snipers a no brainer unit to punish Brits with.
You can build your own (slower firing) sniper but wehr can pump out ostruppen or doctrines with 5man gren. You wouldn't be able to counter that like for like... So how is this fair?
I don't think anyone doubts grens lose 1vs1 but some of the overreaction in this thread is priceless, you would think people are talking about Obers Vs Soviet pios here.
As others have mentioned with the MG42 and grens vs cons and maxim some units are just slightly better. Brits have no AT grenade on mainlines, non-doc assault inf, flamers, early mortar or smoke. They get upgrades like bolster that buff IS instead.
If you nerf bolster then you would have to swap at made from sapper to Tommy, add a mortar, non doc flamers to make up for that loss of aggression. Otherwise you'll have an OKW stompfest like testmod a year ago.
