Well, the Jumbo had more armor than a regular sherman, so I'm guessing it would be more durable than a vanilla sherman in EiR.

I REALLY miss those new riflemen units. They were so fun to play with. More variety in US infantry is just what the doctor ordered imo.

They were quite balanced, and should be implemented again. The in reserve was perfect too. You could just get enough of the fireteam and assault squads to support your vanilla rifles incredibly well, and they lasted due to the medpaks.

Salan, give us back the new rifle squads, pretty please?

i liked the support squad personally, got one to vet 2 and was about ot use it today but meh. The thing that sucked was how much fire they lost when they lost men and they always dropped bars lol.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

no new units for the time being, at least that is what salan and eir mod said yesterday when they put up the patch. they might be implemented but i would not count on it.
