Should US get a new inf squad like the wehr gren team ?

US got the basic rifleman but they don't have a team that could fight non upgraded. Without bars they are just meat or spammage.

IMO US could use a 4 man squad with HP like grens , for guns maybe 4  M1 Garands.  They would cost more than rifleman but cheaper than grens as they would have lower dps.

Just repurpose the Marines to this sort of squad. I think it might work well.

I believe nug is talking about EiRmod earlier saying he was thinking (I believe) about a non-doctrinal new US infantry squad. Like grens, but for the US.

That's what marines are supposed to be. They used to be 4 men, I think they fill this role quite nicely

Marines are a reward unit aren't they,  i was thinking of US having 2 inf squads on every faction  like volks and grens.

leo, how do i put this lightly? you are a fucking idiot  Grin no no, i dont mean that, but is that seriously your response let's take a look at this.


volks/rifles are about the same cost, and same pool cost.

grens, 240mp 4 pool cost

US has nothing comparable to that. rangers and ab?


rangers 310mp and AB 280mp and 9 fucking pool!!!

You know what WM has at 9 pool cost? KCH and Oaks Leaves!!! WTF? And KCH aren't even doctrinal. And FFS! What are Oaks Leaves only 9 pool? they should be 10.

Something is incredibly wrong with that.

Also Tommies are 3 pool cost and i feel like they should be 4... but sappers and recon are at 6... so it's strange.

that all needs to have a serious look at. no comment on PE since i dont play them.

Mirror factions for the win?

Allies have plenty of infantry squad choices already.

While we are at it let me get a 90mm AA/AT gun for my Infantry Coy and the M5 3" gun.


Seriousness follows:

AB and Rangers as well as Stormtroopers need to come down in pool cost to around 6.

Recon Tommies and Sappers are at 6 to prevent spammage.

They will, once we put the weapon cache pool in. that way you can get almost as much elite inf as basic inf, as long as you don't buy upgrades for them.

This is why I said AB and rangers are just as good infantry squads as grenadiers.

"Groundpounder Riflemen";

4 men with Soldier armor, 75 hp ea; have Leader MP44s with Garand aestetics. Have a default sprint ability, can purchase a 5th man with a BAR.

Idk, just a 2 second idea Tongue

but US rifleman own volks (kar or mp40) with Bars, and well... can defeat gren lmgs. So why would you want any other infantry in your company then a unit that can defeat both axis infantry and suppress? you dont that's the answer.

/thread.

but it doesnt leave much room for diversity.
US player.... let me guess....inf w/ bars.
Next special infantry depends on the doctrine  (ranger, AE, AB). So just one other special inf unit. And the pool for AB and Rangers are high, and rangers suck up too much MU w/ shitty tommys. So as others pointed out. Why have anything else but bar inf? Forced spam FTW?

well okay. remove bars from the game.

Add in greaseguns as an upgrade for US infantry.

Add in 4 man marine squad.

Balanced.

The repercussions on the Axis side for having a new us infantry squad that is better then the normal inf bar squad will totally change axis builds. and you wont see the common volks squad anymore.
