Sure, and then cons are significantly stronger than Volks in the lategame, and with SVTs they are as strong, if not stronger, than them in the early-mid game, which is kind of what we're talking about here.

How's gren performance vs Sections, by the way?

Yes.
Cons perform better in late game then volks.
Because soviets do not have end tech elite infantry with 20 long range DPS with most of it focused on single target.

UKF also do not have super soldiers unlocked at end of the tech to back them up.
And again, what are you trying to say here? That volks cost as much as upgraded tommies in muni, manpower and fuel?

You specifically stated that SVTs "Perform worse" than a singular BAR, I'm asking you to clarify if you mean just in DPS terms, and further asking why a very different unit's upgrades are all that relevant when talking about the strength of SVTs, especially when they don't even fight that unit.

Because there is this thing called muni, it is used to determine price of upgrade, which is directly connected to its performance with like 3 exceptions between the 5 factions.
And when SVTs were deemed too strong for their cost, their cost got increased to what it is now.
I still can't see why you are struggling so much here, its not rocket science.

Incidentally; SOV do have a comparatively "elite" infantry unit that exists to provide more firepower than Conscripts, they're called Penals.

Yeah, no.
Even attempting that argument proves you have no slightest idea about soviets and how to play with or against them.
If it was steam forum, I would check your playercard now to confirm some suspicions and would notice pristine axis PC with not a singular allied game, couple of tounsands of axis games. Am I close enough? Your arguments corelate perfectly with the archetype.

Haven't you argued before that "More expensive units should perform better than less expensive ones"?

I also argued for strength of the unit not being determined in the void, because there are other units behind mainlines.

Also, volks are stronger in early game then cons, so what's your problem here?

Also: "Perform worse" in what way? Dps? Because as Gachi already stated, DPS really isnt the only statistic you need to be looking at here, examples include mobility, cost, and place within an army, all three of which Conscripts excel over Riflemen and Volksgrenadiers.

I don't have slightest idea what are you on about here.
Is there something you haven't understood when I mentioned scaling and faction contexts and this is a weird way to ask for explanation of hard words?

DSP increase is not the only stat you should look in a first place. I mean, anyone who played the game would know that stg volks are not even near in terms of DPS delivery as Svt cons. SVTs are not the most OP thing, but it still over-performing for its timing and price, even as a doc weapon.

If anything, its perfomance should be split in half and in order to get second half of corrent perfomance you have to get reserves unlocked.

Cons scale better then volks, volks have obers.

Mainlines that do not have stock elite infantry to do all the damage for them tend to be more independent on the long run.

For its timing and price, SVTs perform worse then a singular BAR.

Again, nothing wrong with SVTs, just the usual lack of adaptability from opponent and void tests scenarios that never happen in actual game.

Thing is SVTs are objectively OP. PPSH cons are garbage untill they hit vet3, on vet 3 they are solid. Point is some of the commanders do have shocktroops and PPSH package, which means making ppsh into a proper lets say CQC upgrade kinda redundant.

SVTs provide DPS increase on similar level to volks STGs.
SVTs are not OP.
But you're right, PPSH are garbage and should be buffed in some way and people already suggested giving them regular nades as well.

Also, you aren't using shocks in the same way you are using ppsh cons, so existence of one doesn't make other redundant. Again, con ppsh upgrade overall is what makes it redundant. Its a leftover from a game that does not exist anymore.

I´ve been thinking about partisans.

What if we gave them stolen bundle nades?

They do have guards nades, which is adequate.
I'd rather have their vet improved or something given to make them something more then ninja capper and mine layer after initial call-in.
