Yeah I saw that, that has nothing to do with conscripts. The point of talking about these side-techs is how they factor into the performance of the units they effect
Yeah, lets completely change focus only on the conscript pityful side. "They need their side tech!" and because axis dont have to 'pay' for upgrades they are the white supremacist in this sort or race card you play.
To state this as clear as it will ever be:
Cons are much more versatile, because if you choose not to use them, they are as light as a feather to the "theching" queue. But if you were only to rely on them you end up paired with axis. Thats a win-win situation. Well played cons are not trash and we stated that in the first pages of this endless discussion. And finally doctrinal upgrades for SU can give the tools cons need without any necessary extra side tech. Or do you want to add that to the complaint bag? That they need doctrinal upgrades to be relevant.
I hear always the same arguments, but i have not seen a single idea other than buff cons to OP state or clone other factions concepts...
