As Wehrmacht you should always be trying to recrew with Volks.

[Pac-Fish]

True. But if you dont have any VOlks around, what can you do? .

And I highly recommend you don't recrew with pios or KCH for obvious reasons unless you are desperate.

Well after that your next best is Grens XD

Alternately, Storms... or a bunch of magicians.

No, never storms. Too much reinforce for what it's worth.

[Pac-Fish]

Storms take forever to reinforce. Probably not really worth it. 47 mp per man IIRC. Thats like a pio squad right there XD.

with regards to recrewing does it make a difference as to what units you use to recrew weapons. Or is it that knights cross simply look better manning an 88 as opposed to pioneers?

Yes, it matters.

Volks are ideal for reinforcing because of their cheap reinforce cost and they are 5 men. It takes 3 men to recrew a weapon.

Squads like Pioneers, Pgrens, Engineers and KCH, are 3 members or below. When you recrew you lose the entire squad's practicallity. Why would you sacrifice the MP44 wielding badassery of the KCH, which are 360 manpower to make, for a measly MG that you can just make a new one for 250 mp?

That's why re-crewing with Volks is ideal. For 66 manpower you can reinforce the lost weapon.

I'm sorry but did you not read the last 5 post or something? Cause that's exactly what we were talking about .

And as Cranial said, squads with 3 men or less will simply die if they recrew stuff.

It does make a difference, in reenforce AND strength.  Yes, Volks are the best to reenforce.  If you reenforce with KCH for example, you WILL get an MG squad with supermen members, that is very hard to kill.  But of course, as others have said, its still not worth it.

If you get support weapons with vet 2 or 3 it can be worth it. A captured US mg recrewed with KCH and support vet 3 is evil^^ Cant snipe it and deals insane damage.
