That logic is hilarious.
Hey, lets buff sov sniper RoF to the level of ost sniper, because ost can build pios and osttruppen!
To counter your shitpost:
Fact: pios aren't mainline combat troops, at least not anywhere near the level of the UKF engineers, which can be and were (in alpha) used as a replacement for IS. Remember UKF weapon racks? Vickers K upgrade from Anvil? Mind you, the whole UKF engineer vs ost sniper was a purely hypothetical one which I posited as a 'someone could argue this' in support of my main point (which you missed entirely ofcourse; but don't worry I put it below too)
Fact: Ostruppen are doctrinal, and I was not comparing any doctrinal units. No point in doing so except in case of Soviets who are designed (as stated by devs) to use doctrinal units are a core of their army rather than as a supplement. [Mind you, I'm fully in favour of a buff for soviet core units; heck redesign soviets if need be]
Also, if you had bothered to read my entire post;
my main point was that its better to simply standardize all squad sizes first with corresponding dps adjustments, with the unstated but obvious implication that then we can make better comparisons of things which affect squad size the most (AoE & snipers).
And again, if you had bothered to read; I quite clearly stated that ost sniper is OP to british IS.
I know your brain leaks now and then, but please don't accuse me of fanboyism; I invite you to look up my post history if you so wish.
