bit ridiculous, innit ? nearly zero survivability when accomplishing their intended purpose. By that I mean, theyre called in behind the lines to take out team weapons. They seldom can do this before being attacked themselves. No option to use nades due to cooldown. The choice then becomes retreat or die. Either way, you've wasted 340 MP for something that did nothing. Even axis infiltrators get 4 men.

You must be new to coh2

"behind the line" units stopped being behind the line units a long time ago.

The choice then becomes retreat or die.

Or you can just accept the fact that 340 MP for a nearly guaranteed teamweapon wipe at the click of a button was shit game design and use them as they're now intended to be used: for finishing/scaring off already weakened squads and teamweapons immediately following infiltration (mostly in support of other infantry units), then later reinforced and used as a proper ambush squad.

And unlike those other axis infiltration squads, mandos actually spawn with their SMGs. The grass is, in fact, just as green on this side of the fence.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

It used to be that OKW can click on a building and spawn a FSJ squad with Faust, nades, and 4 FG42 ready to remove your face.

Lets not go back to those days.

Ost Stormtroopers spawn as 4 man but need to upgrade to SMG making them completely useless for the 1st 30 odd seconds they are spawned.
