Buildtime and cost are directly related in CoH2.
The more something costs, the longer it takes to build.
Call-ins being the exception.

The game is "balanced", from a design perspective, centrally, on this basic equality.

If these buildtime/cost ratios start getting messed with, it will mess with a primary design and balance basis of the game.

Got raped by this yesterday on Road to Kharkov (north). 2v2, both opponents went Agrens straight of the bat. Built 4 of them each I think. Since it was almost impossible to get a squadwipe it was hard to push them back and also hard to hold cutoff and fuel. The big issue was the sheer force of them. When they got 3 squads up (Supported by HT) and pushed each side it was really hard to get something useful done. Since the map was narrow, there wasnt really any other place to go to avoid fighting them and harass. Now it was the first time we played against this and we were not prepared.

So Im also interested in what can counter this? One player goes penals with flamers and the other one maxims, work on one side? They played very fluid and moved their Agrens all the time so using something like Heavy Mortars to try to protect points or hit advances dont seem like something to rely on. Maxims seem risky if they move about that much, even if the deploytime is short.
