Except massive bias, you have something else, perhaps valid, to base that on?

I dont want to start another endless derail because of penals...
I keep track of how many threads this has been discussed, they always end in volks OP because Penuls OP because cons suck.

At least dont be so predictable with the answers.

So top tier they needed to be buffed now?

Version 1.1 'buff'
Show Spoiler
This emphasizes what i said about riflemen, they are good, not the best at early game, so a take back my point. A near range buff is not what you can call "a neccesary adjust because they suck"
Other than that, they got some doctrinal buffs and som QoL buff, nothing critical.

Their first iteration was con-gren mix.
Their current life iteration is beefed up grens without a range they would underperform at.
Also, their performance got completely untouched, they simply got a cost to match that performance, so that as well isn't an argument.

At least we agree on this one, volks have changed so much its hard to put them in a right balance spot. The obvious way to continue is a volks nerf

That makes no sense what so ever no matter how you want to look at it or how you want to explain it.

I woulnt say that if i were you, because you do understand. An earlier luchs to make up for worse volks is a sensible solution, it would depend on FU cost.
Earlier Obers are still coming later than penals, nothing wrong about it.

Take your own advise and stop ignoring the fact that penals arrive late and are always outnumbered, warranting their performance and, if they were cost inefficient as you claim they should be for whatever mad reason, they would require to be buffed.

Let me use you own advice on yourself then, Obers are still going to be available after the 3rd penal squad and they are going to be cost innefective until upgunned, there is no reason to whine about obers if you consider the penal balance situation.

KT MG42 has
Better Accuracy
Better Penetration
Better Aim Time
Better Reload Time
Better Reload Interval
4% Incremental Accuracy
Longer Far Burst Duration

PzIV MG42 has
Faster ROF
Longer Near Burst Duration

Is that much important a pintle mount MG upgrade on a heavy tank? For serious this thread is being derailed with so little...

I can give the point of it being "way too good" but again, is it worth more than 3 post about it?

I still don't understand why the faction with the best infantry in the game needs it's elite get-out of-jail-free-card Obers any earlier then they come now.

Because:
1. SU get a top tier mainline with penals (say what you want of their price, they dominate regardless, they shoud be cost innefective yet they dont)
2. Contrary to common belief riflemen are top tier also, though ealrygame is their weakest spot, once vetted and upgunned they solidify and commander squads give the minimal support they need.
3. Volks have been target of rightful complaints of their performance, their original design was a mixture of conscripts and grenadiers and this proved to be too effective, nerfing them into the right spot leaves a big enough gap in the mainline department of OKM

Possible solutions are either buff Luchs timing and power or to enable a new opening with obers without upgrades.

So set aside ranting and start using that thing between the ears to understand

Kinda sad that both Sander and Andy had to reply to this epic rant thread. Just lock it already, there is no useful discussion here.

I cant agree anymore with you, but thankfully the thread its not closed yet so i can say this:

@Riley: Rest in Pepperoni...

Voted yes, but i wanted to ask sincerely.
Do flamethrowers in MP burn buildings down like in the campaign? Is there a way to implement this for wooden buildings only? I think thats the cheapes way to demolish pesky garrisons, scorched earth style...
