Jaeger Light Infantry vs. Pathfinders

jaegers are crap for the price, who in their right mind would use these guys over panzer fusiliers? 55mp to reinforce a single guy, lower squad size and even worse DPS than falls or obers despite being more expensive to maintain (Oh and no AT grenade/faust).

For me pathfinders are not really comparable, you build one squad to set your beacons up and they sit back as a sniper lite support unit for the rest of the game. Maybe if you are feeling particularly jammy you might recrew an AT gun with them to make use of their superior LoS.

They do more dps at close range than fallshrm and panzerfussilars.

They still get melted by bar rifleman or shocks up close and even 30.cal rifles at range, then you are forced to shell out another 165mp to reinforce a single squad.

Also to the guy that said they "only" cost 290mp so you can spam them and just suicide them, you are still throwing away 290mp. You will lose by attrition even faster than reinforcing by doing that.

im okay with a higher price if they change the reinforce accordingly (1/2*price/squadsize) theyre the only unit atm that doesnt follow that formula which is utter bullshit

They are valued at 110 MP per entity. Obers are 100 MP.
Their reinforce is set correctly to .5

Not sure if their value is too high or their call-in is too cheap, yet I dislike "underpriced" Call-Ins. There definitely are some Call-Ins that are either too cheap or expensive. Paras, Fallschirmjäger are too expensive, for example. T34/85 Dual Call-In and PIV Battlegroup as well, but that's the normal discount factor. 45mm ATG for Soviets is also fairly underpriced. It's valued at 260 or 280, but it's Call-In cost is just 200.
