I am tired of playing team games where my team mates throw their shit into the enemy and constantly swap out their forces and EVERY SINGLE TIME DIE because they don't have enough infantry to do this with..

I am going to stick to 1 on 1's unless its with someone I KNOW has infantry to fight the german infantry swarm late game.. TIRED of being the only person with 30+ infantry in my squad.

is this adversly affected by the price of rangers/airborn? because this is the first version of the game i have EVER seen this happen, and its happening constantly.

Yes, players buy as many rangers & airbourne as they have always been buying but they forgot to calculate in the price increase and thus run short of quite some MP to spend on stock riflemen.

On top of that there's too many allied players focussing on just airbourne/rangers as their primary infantry force.

For me suriving the first 15 mins of a game basicly means Victory is as good as sure.
They run out of airborne/rangers soon and are then easy pray.

The tip;

Don't buy Rangers; they simply cost too much to be cost-effective.

Instead, buy pure Rifles. BARs are slightly more cost-effective than SMGs anyways.

Considering that Stormies roll over Rangers, it justifies their high price cost. And Stormies can't cap, so that point is moot. Unless, of course, you preferred Storms to reveal their presence by capping while cloaked...

Rangers are about equal with Grens, if not equipped with Bazookas.

You can't win games with storms, that is obvious. You can, however, win games with massed grens, a unit that is more comparable to Rangers or Airborne.

You  can  win a game with nearly anything and i woud like stormys to be able to cap when they are uncloaked.

It seems that the game is a bit imba in the axis favor, but the gren´s are not the only reason.
You shall be allowed to play around with the ally´s pop cap.

In a game i had before it was quite running like usually with the allys overhelming us in the first 15 mins with rangers/airborns and all that über-spawn but thats waht i am used to so i  just let them run out of man. But they had a nasty suprise for us oo so nasty.

well near the beginning there was (as useuall) a croco forcing use to bring out some at and a sherman after taht forcing use to use that at even more and then they brought
3 m8´s
3 Shermans´s
and 3 m10´s out

Easly raping out last at the dust and forcing us to say GG and take out feet in the hand and run.

The function that determine whether a unit is cloaked is broken, and such units that cloak, never capture territory.

Rangers are awesome. Fire up is one of the best abilities in the game at the moment in my opinion. MGs are forced to retreat or die due to massed nades/smgs.

You could buy a Quad upgrade if you decide to outfit a Ranger squad with both SMGs and grenades. If it's only grenades, they are just going to rush the ranger group. If only SMGs, you can't take out the MG.

I don't think there's a problem with this. But keep it in mind when you talk about Rangers vs. garrisons.
