If you had to choose only one main infantry, which one would you spam and why?

Why are you spamming in the first place? spamming penals will allow your opponent to really screw you over with 222s or mechanized assault groups. Going only guards is a huge man power drain and they get countered by combined arms.

Penals can't do anything to vehicles while Guards can button and do a little damage, so Guards.

That idiot thought he won. In fact, he was wrong. Completely mistaken.No M3 he what things are not，just one moron.

Guards are pretty good against infantry with DPs, and they have a more useful grenade. Also they can hold off the scout car.

Merge and forget about reinforcement cost.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

I know that the 1v1 meta they keep talking about is sniper guards.

But I am rarely seeing guards in my (limited) 1v1 play

In the 3v3 and up games that most people actually play I'm hardly seeing any guards this patch.

With Blitz nerfed and Soviet Armour actually useable in this patch there does not seem a lot of reason to use them whereas beforehand button was really useful.

Penals are my go to unit right now, but I rarely build more than 2

I say in 1v1s at nades + mines are much better and cheaper than Guards.

What if I told you spamming both Penals and Guards is a legit strategy.

Guards Long Range DPS. Penals cant justify their DPS with their Lack of any form of AT plus they come in a nice building that also lacks AT of any kind.

The PTRS's are fine as they are. Whenever i'm up against Guard Infantry, I always have to be careful with my vehicles or the Guards will completely destroy them. Good range, good damage and fairly cheap; if anything, the PTRS should nerfed since it's ridiculously good for the price. Even in the hands of Conscripts, the PTRS's are extremely potent.
