To put Wermacht Medkit cost more in-line with other healing abilities, we are reducing their cost.

Munitions cost reduced from 20 to 15

i dont think i have ever seen someone use this ability

It's a preetty good ability now. It won't replace the medic bunker (and shouldn't) in most 'normal' builds, but it's an awesome situational ability that let's you hold ground better and bleed less.

There was talk of a bug where, if you kill a MG that is suppressed/pinned at the time it dies, the negative modifiers from suppression don't disappear when you recrew it (with any squad). Someone should test it. I would, but I'm going to sleep now. Sleep is underrated.

Weapon upgrades on conscripts will completely mess up the Soviet faction design, especially if it's something useful at long (or any) range. There are many ways to fine tune conscript utility without buffing their DPS (starting with changes to Molotovs). The last thing this game needs is another durable squad you can attack-move blob mindlessly.

See, I'd argue that's an issue with commanders and Soviet tier design, not penal battalions

I completely agree. Unfortunately CoH2 is full of issues caused by changes in the initial design done very early in the game's lifespan. Guards and Shocks used to replace Penals (which, granted, would probably have its own set of problems), and if you look at early Soviet commanders it seems that the great majority of them were intended to have either of the elite infantry units available. Then people cried for greater commander ability diversity. Most (or all?) call-ins used to be built from tier structures. They changed that, and we had call-in meta for ages before they partially went back to that idea. A lot of the later problems the game had were due to this indecisive and possibly rushed early development, IMO.

But you have to put yourself in the balance team's position. They've said multiple times that they are limited in what they can do, and are doing their best to leave the game with a large number of viable strategies, considering that this patch will come out in February (if not later), and God knows when the one after that will be.

Are you sure that the halftrack managed to open fire in less than 4 seconds after finishing moving?

Thanks for the explanation. I am not sure it started firing, so I probably got confused by the bar. That would explain why it seemed to behave weirdly the whole game.
