You always say "Assymetrical balance" to people who say they want the same type of unit. So... Assymetrical balance.
You have shocks. Less CP, armoured, more models, cheaper grenade, vet0 smoke, same price. I'll swap Fallschirms for shocks any damn time.
But until then, remember your own words, Katitof - "assymetrical balance".
I rarely get Fallschirms, and only 1 squad a game when I choose Luft. They come out after most other elite infantry and light tech is available. I've not seen them cause several units to retreat like Shocks can.
Are Fallschirms really causing so many problems?
So you'd take barbarians squad with clubs and give in return effective ambush squad with really great long and short range dps that can spawn out of buildings allowing to actually breaking german infantry maginots line instead of throwing a molo and running home after realising you were issued blanks(partisans)?
Since for soviets it would change a whooping nothing(you'd still face maxims or snipers and conscripts and penals would still be useless), where do I sign up?
I don't believe falls are that much of a problem, your comparison of falls to shocks is beyond retarded, its like comparing a boat to an airplane, but saying they are like partisans also makes any player who have ever used partisans burst with laughter. If fallshirms were ever to be changed in any way, I'd make them much cheaper and put FGs as 50-70 muni upgrade. But I'd much rather give acute munitions to partisans.
