I'm not against a late-game conscript buff.
I'm just against your proposal because its shit, frankly.
So in the meantime I'm watching, discussing and hoping for better solutions.
Your proposals are also pretty shit and makes a Soviet player feel cheated. I would feel cheated if i had half my abilities in order to have a chance at combatting other squads with all their abilities, meaning they are still better.
Why cant grens lose the rifle grenade and/or panzerfaust when they upgrade to lmg42? Why cant the lmg42 be... doctrinal for slightly cheaper? Thatll also balance cons vs grens.
