Seriously i just see 4-5 squads of browning upgraded USA infantry spread out and rush and it melts anything u can throw at it. This together with captain using ON me or whatever the fk it is literally one click and a squad just melts away.

And if USA AA HT no the most OP unit in the game atm then i will suck myself off. Its an exploit.

OKW machine guns simply suck and do no supress like Maxnoob a WWI machine gun LOL. Designed in 1884 is superior to MG42 and MG34. OK GUYS. OK.

Seriously needs looking at.

US has the best machinegun in the game and tanks with HE rounds.

Sure, nerf the browning or something, but only if that's a package deal with nerfing the DPS on FG42s and Obsersoldaten MGs. Overwhelming infantry firepower seems to be the only way to make them scale effectively throughout the game. And really, if the person you're facing down has put exorbitant amounts of munitions into LMG browning upgrades, you should be trying for non-infantry counters to that anyway. Rifle AT nades are terrible, the US AT gun is mediocre, and Bazookas are pretty poor even against medium armor.

Or you could just make dedicated machine gun teams do their job properly? The suppression isn't that strong and pinning takes ages.

So once again you have only nit picked at what you hate the most. Lets actual analyse the whole situation: First, the American faction is designed around rifle men, hence the weapons rack style upgrade system and Tier unlocks that only gain experience through other units. Second, Lets look at what is actually available to the Americans in the first few minutes. Out of Tier one you get Rifle men (once again, the back bone), rear echelon troops, and the ambulance. Not a whole lot of options right? Even if you do not upgrade anything and go strait for the cheapest tier unlock being the lieutenant at 50 fuel, you still have 4 rifle men squads by the time you have enough fuel. With good unit preservation, its pretty obvious why you see rifle blobs all the time. And no, they do not melt anything you throw at them, Sturm pios murder them as long as you play with them like the new panzer grens. All of the call ins are great vs rifle mans. and those sweet Tier four infantry kill everything that is infantry in this game.

My point is that

1) its justified
2) unless you get flanked all the time, it should be good fights

This needs to be fixed.

I've lost multiple games now to blobs by 5+ squads of riflemen with BARs and bazookas. Even if I have multiple MGs set up in green cover with armor support, the BARs shred the MG teams to pieces before they become suppressed.

You can't even use an Ostwind against blobs like this because 5 bazookas will shred armor in seconds.

Also, grenadiers seem rather impotent right now as it feels like they can't counter even one squad of riflemen without any upgrades.

Lets just arm them with M1911A1s and have the BAR's fire bullets out of the stocks, thus killing the riflemen themselves.

Wait, that would still be OP because the 45s would damage stuff at close range.

End of discussion because of common sense. Blobs will always exist and are counterable.

I do agree with OP this time. It's just to easy for US to walk into everything without worrying too much. I think it's time to make MG42 crowd control weapon again. Not the OPness it was but a decent tool.
