Don't confuse choices with meaningful choices. Teching for upgrades ( eg USF weapon racks ) is not the same as just upgrading an existing squad once you see a vehicle. This is the problem so many people have with ptrs penals. There is no forward thinking or planning. The soviet player can go any t1 build and as heavy as he chooses, all the while knowing he just has to keep 80 muni in reserve in case an AC or flame HT turns up.
As to the notion that you have to make a choice between AI penals and AT penals, well thats a weak argument since you can just buy another penal to replace the the one you upgraded or you can just get say 3 AI penals then upgrade the 4th penal with PTRS.

agree. although i disagree with the fact that SOV T1 needs an AT but if we are gonna add in the AT, we should add
meaningful choices. I think a good example is AEC and Bofors where there is a
tradeoff. I think CoH2 lacks in that department severely.
what if there is a choice between flamer/ppsh and PTRS upgrade like there is between AEC and Bofors? 100mp and 10fu cost-ish. although since 160mp 20fu for a ATG is considered a fortune by so many, maybe just have 200mp as the price.
