Hello all

What's the counter to grens with LMGs? The Scott smooshes em up nicely, but it's often too little to late . I've tried bars, but it seems the grens get the edge every time . Thanks in advNce

At short-intermediate ranges BAR rifles should win, stat wise, just saying. As for alternatives, LMG rifles do everything LMG grens do, but better. They will suppress them on the second burst in defensive stance, and from then on, its smooth sailing. Airbornes will also dominate them, obviously you need to be mindful of rifle nades especially with the new cover mechanic. Apart from that Shermans/Scotts are the vehicular tools of choice.

Generally you need to close the gap. With right cover at short range you can win even without bar. Remember that LMG doesn't fire in movement so u can launch a grenade closing the gap while he moves his troop. If he stays still the grenade wipe him!

Paratroopers with smg work too. Short range.

Smoke

I prefer this option, especially if you're Rifle company. Use smoke to either the close the gap (with your moving or they) or get them to retreat. If you're Rifle, use the flamethrower's Attack-Ground ability to hurt squads in the smoke.

No need to act like that mate. He's asking a genuine question.

To OP: If he blobs, just cap somewhere else. If he splits up, then you have to send more rifles in to hold them off. A single M20 can help as well but you gotta to micro it a lot. Show me a replay. I might get an idea of what's the main issue you have. Using smoke to force him to close in as well helps a lot. You can also use it to get close to him if you're on the offensive.

Counter it with rifflemen with flamethrower.
