Maybe when Soviet have Mobilize Reserves，reduce reinforcement cost for weapon team should be passive like Ost T4 passive,at least it already for Penal in test mod

Its exclusively maxim issue, other team weapons have correct crew reinforce costs.

So, during dark reign of maxim, one of the changes it got was increased reinforce cost that inflated value of default crew as another attempt to stop our god of suppression from ripping you a new one.

Now, years and countless nerfs later Maxim is in so bad state that its getting buffs for quite some time and it still is inadequate at best.

Given its current state and (lack of) place in game and meta, I believe we can revert that nerf.

Maxim is no longer dominating unit for years now and conscripts and penals would have to be removed from the faction for it to be spammed in any way again.

Given that context, I don't believe it is fair for it to still have its increased reinforcement price and given how it still lacks, this might be the change it needs without changing its performance.

Since the patch is focusing on stock armies, we could easily fit this small change in as at this point, increased reinforcement cost for maxim is nothing more but unfair, unjust and most of all - completely unneeded.

Current cost is 20.
All other team weapons reinforce for 15.

This entire playlist didn't have an lmg gren.

Top players must think they're perfect

When stakes are high, players will not use balanced units, they will use as OP units as possible to give themselves an edge.

Would you like me to tell you why osttruppen are getting nerfed this patch, while gren stats remain unchanged?

TDs are incomparable to each other now?
I mean I agree that faction context is important, but this does not make them incomparable by default.

They are not comparable -directly-.
You can't compare units cross faction without context of the faction.

StuG is not going to have same support and doctrinal abilities as SU-76 and that affects performance already.

You don't compare TDs based on other TDs, unless its another TD within the same faction.
You compare TDs based on what they fight, what they are supposed to fight and if they do it within the reasonable bracket allowed by their cost, timing and scaling.

And it does not go for just TDs, but for all units.
This is why, for example, cons and grens are not equals at all stages of the game.
Or why you don't base HMG performance on the results of HMG duels.
Or why you don't say that ZiS is superior to PaK40, because ZiS kills it easily.

Being able to perform a task beside your main obligation is literally utility. Otherwise laying mines, building sand bags, barbed wire and whatnot are not utility because "its units design of dual role that is with it since day 1".

Eh, I can concede that argument.

And that why Ostheer has been hit so hard when their "support weapon advantage" has become so small.

It was balanced by allied early game infantry advantage becoming so small.
Ost is no longer disadvantaged in the early game.
That design is gone for 3 years at least.

Point remain that "grenadier is cheapest mainline myth" in not true and even it was true it would mean very little very little because grenadier are so cost inefficient on their own. Thus it would allot better if people stop repeating in every thread.

You can repeat it as many times as you want.

It will be just as incorrect every single time.

Oh, and grenadiers were NEVER intended to be efficient on their own. Every single time period where they were is known as period when they were OP, starting March deployment patch and ending on VSL live implementation.

If you want to spam mainline inf and succeed, do NOT play ost, they were never intended to do it.
