Did you ever put stock penal/Cons/Riflemen/IS vs gren at long range and see what happened?

Ye and how many brainsells one must have to use penal/Cons/Riflemen vs grens at long range? And in equal cover IS will win vs Grens.

2 on everything, 3 PTRS, 3 Zook on rangers. I didn't think it was worth testing 2 Elite Zook on Paras.

Not sure how you see them doing similarly when they had the most reliable and best performance overall. Maybe you refer for cost and that would be correct. But zooks on RET ha a high variance on dmg, as they often failed to pen and they barely survived all the incoming damage.

Not sure if i perfectly aligned them in front of the PV so they get hit by all MGs with 100% uptime.

TDL penals with 3 PTRSs which cost rufly the same as 1 zook\schreck\piat are able to take more then half of the HP PV.

Would be actually funny to see, how they pefrom compared to 1 schreck\zook\piat

Soviets and OKW are in their current position due to their tech. Check how much you spend in tech to get T2 + Conscript upgrades + T3 + T70 vs OKW going mechanized + P2. There's a reason also why OKW is getting more accessible medics as well, cause both USF/UKF can deal with mechanized in an efficient way.

Well without going into the offtopic too much. I partly agree, but soviets and OKW are two simular but completly different cases, imho.

OKW is the case of messed up unit timings due to tech cost standatization across the factions and the fact that WFA and EFA are not equal, not even close. Best example are oberts, who arrives usually when the WFA have an upper hand over them, and they have to grind vet fast to catch up, while they are fine against Soviets.

Soviets are the case of old Relic design and complete removal of cheesiness, without proper ajustments of power and costs.

But thing is soviets are tied to Ost just as Ost tied to soviets. Right now, I would say, Soviet vs Ostheer is more or less even, with probably ost having slight advantage due to MG42 and all the skips they can do.

Ultimatly both Soviets and Ostheer rely on somesort of carry unit. Ost vs WFA is fully dependent on MG42 play, untill like midgame and even after. Even sniper is not as important as MG42.

Soviets are fine early to mid game vs OKW, but fall flat on their ass ones OKW start gaining StGs and elite inf, making a T70 a go for unit.

I honestly just belive that both USF\UKF put powel level way to high, while Ost is tied to Soviets in terms of power and vise versa, OKW has to balance between strong WFA and objectively weaker EFA.

at the end of the day the molitov is "only" 80mp and 10 fuel, but its an extra cost that directly inflates the cost of cons.
pretending its not an additional cost helps even less.

I would rather call it, additional cost that you are expected to pay at some point. I mean, its true what you are saying. I'm not fully agree that side grades inflates cost of cons.

But at the end of a day, in live version and meta, if you got AT nades as Soviets, you didnt put yourself in a resources disadvantage, because, as I've said, you are kinda expected to unlock AT nades at some point.
While if you for some reason didnt and managed to pull it off without AT nades, then you've made a savings and you can tech faster.

I can agree that it just feels unfair, because all other factions get snares for free and all the side grades\free grades focusing more on power increase, while soviets side grades (AT nades) are mandatory abilities.

Its strange to me that osts stuff included with tech somehow inflates their tech costs and you are "paying extra, just don't have a choice not to" when every single other instance of stuff being added to to be included with tech didn't increase tech costs. 7 man in t4 costs the exact same as pre 7 man. When volks got stgs, flame nades and snares their tech costs were not adjusted to accommodate this "totally paid for and not free" additional content....

Tbh here, I never understood all this free and paid stuff shenanigans. We cant lets say compare ost free unlocks to UKF\USF free stuff. Aswell as we cant compare soviet free stuff to OKW free stuff.

All that matters at the end of the day - how fast factions can reach their first tank. Right now, if we consider realistic play, with all usuall side grades, free grades, weapon upgrades and so on. All the faction more or less have fair timing in terms of how fast they can have\get their armor and armor counters.

I think this is what matters the most.

I already have, with multiple top players opinions in post 299 (master league discord voting done only by the tops).

High level player opinions matter only if they support your agenda and otherwise you just know better then them?

Also, if you value so much opinions of high rank players, here, have a knowledge nugget from master league discord where we, low rank peasants are not allowed.

Its an opinion of multiple high level players.

Hmm. So you firstly say this. Then you give us a screenshot of voting. But on a screenshop possition 1 is winning, saying that grens are UP. While you say they are fine because "multiple top players" voted for 5, therefore grens are fine, while 5 has less votes.

And on top of that only possition 5 states that grens are fine, while 1\2\3 are stating that they are not, possition 4 states that its more to do with commanders, but A is also partly true.
