The OP seems to be suggesting that Grens and Conscripts be made more similar by giving Conscripts LMG like upgrades etc. I for one truly enjoyed the diversity between Volks and Rifles in COH1 and would much prefer the two sides in COH2 be as asymmetrical as possible. It makes me sad to see that both core infantry deal the same damage at varying ranges, both have damage engine inducing sticky bombs and yes both gain veterancy in the exact same way. Both infantry also having almost identical DPS upgrades might be just a little too on the nose. Balance does not have to equate sameness. Sameness = bad. Diversity = good.
