Rifle company isn’t the best right now.
What do you guys think of allowing lieutenant/captain to be upgraded with a flamethrower alongside rear echelons with advanced infantry equipment?
It would lock out the BAR/Bazooka upgrade and smoke grenades when equipped.
I think this would be a nice way to make the ability more used (no one buys a second RE to get a flamethrower) without making it OP like when riflemen could be upgraded with flamethrowers, as you can only get a max of two officers, and officers can’t snare.
Thoughts?
The commander should be more about riflemen:
Rifle Company
Easy 8 replaced-->by 105 dozer
Riflemen Field Defenses
Advanced Infantry Equipment-->(now offers M1 C/M9 A1 bazookas/rifle grenades for riflemen)
Fire Up replaced--> by cover to cover
WP Smoke Barrage
Or one could add the defensive stance (hit the dirt) increasing far DPS as a timed ability
