My reasoning is 320mp is too much for an engineer unit that lacks demo charges, flame throwers or a heavy AT mine. They have decent early game DPS but is that really worth another 150mp over other engie units when their reinforce cost is already more expensive? Maybe back in WFA alpha when they were early game terminators but post-nerf Sturms even lose to a single con squad in cover.

The current replacement cost means if you lose your initial sturm squad to a stray mortar round or grenade you have to waste an extortionate amount of MP for just to get back the ability to counter demo charges/mines. Lose a second squad and it will be GG right there, the Paul vs Jesulin final a few days ago was a good example of this.

Just to highlight the difference in cost but say you lose three sweeper squads over the course of an entire game that would be 960mp, in comparison the Soviets would have to spend a meagre 510 and sweepers are a much more vital part of army composition for OKW than the Sovits.

I suggest the initial purchasing cost be adjusted to 270mp down from 320mp, the reinforce cost would stay the same so "Sturm spam" would not become a problem.
