as far as I know there is no up-to-date guide on that.
There is also no quick answer to what you asked for, as all engagements are range dependent. For example, SOV shock troops are probably the best CQC infantry in the game, but would lose to probably even Osttruppen at max range.
If you want general advice on how to use some units, I would suggest asking for these units here in the thread. There will be controversy, but most of the people here are happy to share their point of view.
Is there a current summary/Excel/comparisonabout all infantry units, who beats whom?
Thx in advance!
Some general rules but there exemptions
Infantry uses certain types of weapons that are generally better at certain ranges:
LMGs best max range negative DPS at close range
Bolton action rifles are best max range
Semi automatic rifles better at mid range and on the move
Assault rifles better mid to close
Smg better at close flat at minimum (usually 10-0)
Special
Flamer reduce range to 20 flat damage and extra damage to garrison and AOE
There is also the patch notes and design intent although a bit outdated:
cons beat volks and green at close range but lose at long, pgreens beat them at close range
rifle beats volks and green at close mid range and it's 50/50 at long, p green beat them at close
IS beat volks at long and mid and close (although u might lose sometime at close) when in cover and beats them at long without cover , pgreen beat them at close
upgrades changes things a bit
bar are an all ranges upgrades but not as much as other mid and long range
stg volks are a mid and close range upgrade
lmg 42/bren are stricly long range upgrade (one os chaper and a bit worse than the other)
Hello guys,
thanks for the awesome feedback. You guys are totally right: this is a complex topic and there is no almighty answer. I think beside of all valuable hints I can use the answer by Stug life for now.
My intention was about to get an overview what inf beat what inf in very early game in what range to avoid useless fights or fix postioning well.
Let me check some videos and read the forum. Than I'll be back with more particual questions.

Rosbone: Buy our cool new large tanks that will never get played on the 4 new 1v1 maps added. Perfect synergy! Today, 19:23 PM
Rosbone: Everyone ready for some deep penetration Today, 17:13 PM
Lady Xenarra: I'm sure the ppl who defended it as balanced for Allies will be screaming like they got scaled with boiling water, in COH3. How the tables turn. Today, 11:33 AM
Willy Pete: I think it was nuts with any engine damage. Especially on superheavies Today, 07:03 AM
aerafield: Personally I think without the ram ability, it's worse than loiters for example Today, 00:09 AM
Willy Pete: It combined well with most slowing abilities, not just ram stuns Yesterday, 23:36 PM
Willy Pete: Only??? I think not being able to shoot it down and the ramp up effect also had something to do with it Yesterday, 23:34 PM
aerafield: AT overwatch was broken only because it came with the faction of T34 ramming Yesterday, 22:29 PM
Willy Pete: Love to see Relic really learning from their past mistakes. Let's bring back the dumbest ability in coh2, and charge money for it Yesterday, 20:34 PM
Willy Pete: New DAK commander will have AT overwatch as alternate choice to elefant Yesterday, 20:33 PM

aerafield: I am a simple man, I build Humvees with Pathfinders and Missile Launchers inside, I am happy Last Tuesday, 20:57 PM
Lady Xenarra: aerafield lamevee spammer confirmed Last Tuesday, 20:42 PM
adamírcz: Might be onto somethin here, combine side armour existing, maps where flanking is a viable option, and hopefully also heavies actually being less manouverable than mediums (lookin at you coh2), and it might be fun gameplay Last Monday, 13:39 PM
Willy Pete: Shouldn't coh3 heavies actually have insane front armor values? The glory days of 400+ Kt armor wouldn't be as bad when side armor is a thing. Not to say its a good idea lol Last Friday, 23:14 PM
aerafield: But then again, maybe CoH3 superheavies should actually have insane armor values because the whole game is designed for the clumsy & inept anyway Last Friday, 23:04 PM
