OST sniper is trash when it comes to clearing buildings. Something I personally notice when i use them. My "luck" seems to run out every game despite the 50% claim people have. Issuing attack command or not doesn't make a difference IMO

I think that is becayse there is still received accuracy at work with the garrisoned unit.

PPSH cons are also not elite. Not by game logic standards (they're not flagged as elite)

No unit is flagged as 'elite' in CoH2. It is not a thing in the game.

What does (now) exist are different versions of certain slot_items, specifically the PTRS that have different values depending on which squad is holding it. This is a very recent addition and the only thing that could delineate a squad as 'elite' because one might decide to call the Guard version of PTRS the 'elite' version.

Calling a unit in this game 'elite' is at best subjective rating, and not a real game mechanic. As such, the argument that one squad should or should win in a fight with another squad because of their subjective 'eliteness' is more or less meaningless.

There are a lot of factors that go into a player having a conscript squad, with PPSh, and getting it to vet 3. Likewise there are a whole lot of components that get you to having a vet 5 Obersoldaten holding an LM34. When you start to take into account those kinds of factors, and the kinds of roles these units tend to have on the field, you should start to realize that pure combat performance is not actually a great metric of balance.

Also the tooltips ingame have, like, never been accurate.

Its a bug which is considered a feature. The unit description says the self-healing is a vet5 ability also the changelog from the dbp says so.
The veterancy guide need to be updated btw.

Unfortunately this is the perpetual state COH2 is in these days. The only way to make sense of what's actually accurate is by parsing through pages of changelogs, patch notes, and digging through game files. And even those can be deceptive.

Like sturmpanther said, all you can do is wait and see if some one in a position to do something about it gets around to it.

The whack a mole balancing strategy is as effective as ever I see...

Seriously though, are we back to soviet 120mm being the flavor of the patch complaints? I'm having dejavu.

And yes, 120mm still survives and retreats with 1 crew.

I just want balance and for the player who exerts the most skill and strategical thinking to be the victor of a match.

Heresy.
