Because as long as Wehrmacht T4 remains dysfunctional and the Wehrmacht early game is meant to overcompensate for the shambolic state of the rest of the faction. Overall Wehrmacht balance changes continue to feel like you're grappling with the fact that you grabbed the Coh1 Wehrmacht, removed all of the Working parts and now you're not sure why you can't balance it properly. why bother with a 4 man Grenadier squad that can't afford any casualties and takes forever to get to the field, when you can just push osttruppen with better timings and more expendability ? Especially when you're also nerfing the MG42s. For Osttruppen to be made less attractive to spam, you really need to fix the Wehrmacht's early game issue so that the osttruppen by default stand out as a more niche option than they currently are. You'll still get 4 Osttruppen squads and overrun most of the map and then push for armour. But what if you didn't have to retake it, but could just take it ? Osttruppen allow you to do that. In part due to a series of fundamental flaws in the design that means that if say an opponent gains map control, it can be hard to retake the field. The issue is that they're so easy to spam in the first few minutes to get decent map control which is the Wehrmacht's issue. They still scale terribly, and you're just going to make that worse. Similarly the Osttruppen nerf is not going to achieve much since the issue with them isn't that they scale too well. Though the core still remains they're a fundamentally flawed unit in the game. Sniper nerf is nice and should make them less aggravating to deal with. Sandbags just need to be harder to toss down, especially for the Soviets. It's not going to stop them from spamming the sandbags, it's not going to make it less of a morass to push through. I mean making sandbags bigger targets won't really fix the core issue that you can just throw them down all willy nilly, especially with the Soviets.And the Soviet sandbags are just bigger with better coverage too. I have to say a lot of these changes seem quite frankly a bit curious to me.
