Too all those who say that conscripts were nerfed, is it just your gut feeling or do you have any data to support it?
Since at least when compared to Grenadiers I'd personally would say, if anything, that they were buffed against them.
Other then what the patch notes say?
Sure against Grens and other moderate DPS units it may be buff. But Scripts already Melted to Falls and Ober fire. So now they Melt faster (smells like a Nerf to me).
Soooo outside of some data analytics Relic may have on how much the Total Cost of Ownership of Conscripts were Pre Change and Post Change there is really no good data to provide.
Its the inverse to what Snipers provide. With snipers you have a large upfront cost and upkeep but a low total cost relative to the bleed they inflict.
Its a matter of economy. If it took you say 60 MP to kill an LMG gren model before on average and they gained a small buff (maybe someone like you or Milka can run the numbers) and now they take 66MP to get the same result then obviously their TCO went up (which was already high IMO).
Of course this is all magnified relative to how much higher a squads DPS is pushed up. So say it is 66MP now to kill a single LMG gren Model at Vet 0 this will in turn GO UP as the Gren gets vet (that they will get faster due to the nerf)
And that also doesnt account for Pintle MGs when they try to toss an AT nade. Or the relationship to optimum range of the PPSH.
