Giving BARs to Rangers wouldn't really work with the focus of the unit. Riflemen are the units that have the capacity to fight at longer ranges, Rangers are meant to be tough elite infantry that can close the distance and fight close-quarters.

No, that doesn't really matter.

FJs are strong and are still able to fight at longer ranges. It's because of their weapons.

All weapons should be available to every unit at varying prices!

BARs for Rangers might get me to use them..

All weapons for all units?

RR's on Rangers... Thompsons on Airborne... Commandos with Brens... Stormies with LMG's...

Thats just instant ones to my mind. Cant see it ending too well tbh.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

I'm just saying that if you can buy 2 of the weapon, you should be able to buy half of it. Im not saying you should be able to mix all kinds of retarded shit for all kinds of units. Just that if you want 1 bar instead of 2 and no supression fire, you should be able to buy it. Specialization bro, I like getting the most of my upgrades. Wouldn't mind a 2 mp40 volk either. Tongue

Thompsons on AB for 200mu? I wouldn't mind at all. Bren Commando's for 250mu? Whatever.

It's all about pricing. They don't need to be cheap. Just available.

You could give Rangers a handheld BFG that fires a howi shot and balance it with pricing if you wanted.

1 (buffed, damage and acc wise) BAR as opposed to 2 and not having SF, would make my day tbfh. I only use them for the DPS boost (i have an MG tied to every rifle call in anyways). BARs+MG=no need for SF. Add 'Suppress and Manouver' for lulz.

Now that thompsons are cheaper i gave rangers a serious second (more like 4th) go around.
Thompsons are still outmatched by cheaper more powerful guns (both on axis and allies side), and Zooks... short range, inaccurate, and inefficient against most armor that players bring to the field.

You're not doing it right, Poppi. Ask lionel for tips. He has spammed rangers for a thousand years now.

i think one of the few players who can then.

Most people dont see the use for them.
And lionel uses like total anti inf company. Recommending 3-5 howis. Maybe he can pull off great support but sure 99% of the other players will run like shit using his company build.

Most will say 3bar and sticky rifleman are well worth the price over a ranger squad.

I ran the 3 BAR riflemen squads.  Are you looking for a good inf company or a RANGER-focused company?  Both have their uses, but I wouldn't really mix them (ie taking SMG rangers AND bar riflemen is going to put a huge hurt on your pool, may as well do mass rifles OR mass rangers or a handful of ZOOK rangers to protect the bar riflemen).

Again it depends how you're trying to build it.

i'd like to see the lmg that airborne get on rangers, it would make them real good in a defensive role. 

as to smgs, i cant' say much on 'em, i suck with any type of assault unit (kch, smg rangers, mp40's etc) but i'm real good with zook rangers although i haven't touched my TR coy in ages, maybe I'll bring it back just for the lulz of seeing tanks and vehicles go b00m now that there aren't so many tigers everywhere.

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.

Why dont you just let some bar rifles die next to rangers, and then pick up?

Dream come true.
