Since gren do not cost the same as cons, neither riflemen nor inf squads. Since game balance is about assimetry and also by far because MG42 are the iconic unit of OST.
Why would cons cost 200? Why dont they cost the same as a gren squad or volks squad, because they are the iconic squad of SU. Im not even mentioning penals.
Its actual cost is great, it is performing fine, better than any other Mg, as it should, since its design is for it to be the BEST mg available. Vickers are snipers mg and everyone is fine with that.
If you really want good suppression for SU,USF,UKF then steal an mg42, its not that hard for any allied faction.
FYI, cons cost 240mp. Not sure where you got 200mp from.
That's not just bias any more, you're just legitimately wrong.
Double bar riflemen are not some sort of all powerful gods. Learn your actual unit values.
Double bar rifles do outperform the mentioned units even with upgrades just as he said. -again with exception of lmg obers at long range only.
