Weapon teams are not more effective with vanilla crew but they are by far more cost effective (apart from maxim and DShK), becouse they are 25% cheaper to reinforce. That actually makes a difference. It is also worth noting that losing squads in general is not something that happens often in serious games. In case of weapon teams the loss is mostly in veterancy, but there is also a net loss in models needed to reinforce and higher reinforcement costs.

As for man of war, it is simply a game for different audience. You cant compare apples with oranges.

The FRP penalty reduction was a maybe add. But are you saying every faction feature has to be mirrored? Why can the British add a 5th man but no one else can? And I think you can see for yourself why that would be a problem. Why can Soviets combine half squads? I'm not saying take away these things either. I think uniqueness is good for each faction...

Uniqueness is obviously good. The thing is, FRP is already unique feature that is available to half of the factions. Which is great. They also have the feature in a distinct way. Which is even better. But asking for making one of the FRPs OP by removing penalties for the sake of it is not the right way of making factions unique.

The armour on infantry works exactly like the one on vehicles. If your weapon has a pen value equal of higher to the armour value it will always do damage, otherwise the chance is equal to pen divided by armour value and decided by rng roll. Most small arms have the penetration value of 1, but some, for example MGs and AT rifles have more, so they have easier time fighting armoured troops.

So in comparison, the recived accurancy lowers the damage of weapons favouring the ones with over 100% accurancy (like snipers), while armour lowers the damage favouring weapons with high penetration (like mgs).

As for the recrew: yes it is intended and it is ment to allow you to decide what type of crew you want on your weapon, although there are some problems. For example okw crews were cheaper (like most crews) than volks, but had similar combat effectivness. The current problem is with maxim that has increased reinforcement cost, which means it costs just as much to reinforce the one recrewed by cons as the vanilla one. Obviously that means losing the last model instead of escaping can sometime prove beneficial. These are the things that are not intended and are the oversight of ballance designers.

Overpriced stug come on, jp4 is the best non doc AT in the game. Plus it costs roughly as much as a SU85, which is much worse than jp4. The only runner up to the jp4 is the jackson, but it is more expensive and still not as good.

By buffing it's counters, right now infantry does nothing to the sniper and the 222 get's countered before it hits the field (I won't even discuss the kubel).

It's very much a low risk unit seeing as no other sniper has so much ehp and is immune to countersnipes.

It is immune to single countersnipe but it is the only sniper that dies to a single mortar round. I would say it is just as hard to kill as ostheer sniper.
