tracer,
No one is arguing that the higher experience German units shouldn't cost more! True Troop ON, however, adjusts for the experience, morale, etc of a given unit, raising or lowering the prices with the stats.
The problem right now is that the German stuff is so much more expensive, at the listed encyclopedia cost. Compare the encyclopedia prices. These are for units of the exact same experience value. These prices are what the comp adjusts [I]from[/I] .
Now the Soviet, American, etc equipment costs alot less [I]before[/I] adjustment by True Troop. After adjustment, the pricing imbalance is huge (especially if the T34 or M4 are considered, they get a discount on these tanks). In '44, ten T34/85's cost just 690! Ten PIVj's cost 1040, and the experience difference means squat. Multiply that out over a 5000 point game, and you will see what I mean.
The Soviet player can buy an infantry company to suppliment his tanks for the same price.
We are pointing out that the German player appears to be penalized TWICE for units. Once by base pricing, because they are more experienced units (the base pricing is for the same experience regardless of nationality though), and once by True Troop.
In contrast, the Allies have lower pricing at the base level, get a massive discount by True Troop (Leo even admitted that it was large), and then get a price break for their most common tanks. Their experience differs by only 5 in 1944, so there is no difference in performance.
I believe someone thought that US and Soviet units were not as good as German units experience wise, and set their prices lower, forgetting that True Troop already does this. Then, when Leo adjusted all national stats, it made it worse (because of the experience differences for each country), especially combined with the pricing breaks.
Hope I explained it better than we have so far.:)
