The problem of the T70 is that it's arrival time makes it mandatory to be clearly better than all the other LVs. It costs 190 fuel for OKW to get Luchs + Puma out while it costs Soviets 165 fuel to get a single T70 out. And that is without Molotovs or AT snares. So if you decide to give Conscripts basic tools you will end up paying almost as much for your first T70 as OKW does for Puma and Luchs together.
It's very strong at the moment but if it gets toned down it needs to be very nuanced because of how much fuel you need to get it.
Fair points. One solution could be:
Decrease cost and effectiveness of T70 and transfer some of the fuel cost of T3 to T4. This way the less strong T70 arrives at around the same timing as a luchs but it will not be able to bully the Luchs around. T34s are still at the same timing so Soviets are more likely to fill the gap with Su76, in the same way OKW fills the gap with the Puma.
Hopefully it will lead to more LV play and fewer T70-squadwipes / huge setbacks of hitting a single teller.
