Wasn't sure if I should put this question in Balance or Gameplay. After playing both USF and Soviets and asking a few questions here I noticed that both Conscripts and PanzerFusilier have much bigger gains thru vet than other mainlines. For the more experienced/better players why were they given such large Vet bonuses?

To get it out the way I suck at using Conscripts as mainline units, so I usually go T1 Penal build since they push and play like stronger Rifleman. I have incorporated Conscripts as support squads for merge/capture which allows them to Vet up as back up units to the Penal squads while covering for my horrible micro. However, once late game Vet3 hits they are pretty much indestructible even without 7th man. So my question is why were they given such a large Rec Acc bonus at Vet 3 while also getting cheaper reinforcement? Isn't that double dipping?

For Fusi, I obviously noticed they would scale past my Penal squad even though my units are "semi" elite units. To deal with them I put my Penal/Conscripts in front and force retreats using MG however if a blob comes I better hope I get some suppression quickly. My question here is why does PF get 40% accuracy buff when most other mainlines get 30%? G43 is a no brainer upgrade which pretty much makes the unit better at what it already is built to be good at. In general looking at the Veterancy list for PF it get massive bonus for abilities and combat ability more like an elite unit then a mainline replacement that it is.

Given how incredibly important model drops are to the outcomes of infantry firefights, a paid snipe ability on any squad is a bad idea. It would allow them to win fights just with a small upfront munitions investment (from range, unlike grenades) by immediately sniping a model of an enemy squad. Which is exactly what happened with the snipe ability for scoped Enfield Section for UKF in vCoH and that was terribly unbalanced too.

I agree, while the ability sounds and probably would be great against certain Squad it would be opressive. Losing 1 model for PG, Sturm pioneers, Falls and a few others causes a massive drop in DPS which would immediately swings the favor of battle in favor of Pathfinders. Since they are a long range squad you would have to close to kill them and with BARS they would damage you on the trip and back.

I think a simply switching all the weapon profiles to long range with a call in at CP1 would be fair. Putting BARS on would no longer be an automatic upgrade.

Not sure why, but I cant seem to get good results with PPSH Conscripts, I find it a lot easier to use the PPSH penals and can rack up kills with them to get to VET3. Conscripts seem way to squishy until VET3 and are pretty much outclassed by other short range squads. Seem to be fairly decent against gren or volks spammers but nothing else.

Great game that went down to the wire. Shout out to Zedor, i was gonna surrender but decided to give one last push to see what happens

LMG Obers for all round killing and staying power. Come later than any other infantry but vetted up they’re nigh unstoppable by infantry without bleeding yourself whiter than snow. Allied inf models seem to drop at the mere sight of them sometimes. Excellent for standing up to LMG blobs with vet. Toxic smoke grenade for any brave gap closing squads and a free gift basket for everyone else. Only really matched by LMG Paras (and maybe exceeded) but Airborne is a weak late game doc. Vet IV suppressing fire and vet V sprints are the thick icing on the cake for me

I like them just feel they take to long to hit their stride. They are my number 5, Falls are 4. They are good just years of nerfs made them no longer batshit OP with snare and AI. Before the tech rework I used to got battle and mechanized and get a JP4 for antitank. It used to be so broken

Gonna check airborne later to see didn't see it in the normal spot.
