Do pathfinders need to be 2 pop?

They have a cool gimmick on their rifles and vet 3 is a good boost, but they aren't as good as other snipers. I'm often finding that fielding them usually stops me from fielding paratroopers, due to high pop on both. I'm usually popcapped so fast that I can't field much more than 2 or 3 tanks. I'd like to see the pathfinders pop reduced to the same as paratroopers.

T34/76 is NOT a joke on my hands; Maybe on your hands you make it suck shit? but on me, No. I can kill a stug with a little micro, go toe to toe with a Panzer 4. Is it a joke? LOL T34/85 is apparently a very good tank. But no one says it "one hit wipe" or elefant penetration; up to a point i think this little medium tank just have too much health and too much firepower with that fuel cost.

Nah they just need a reduction on their weapon crews, the major, and the ambulance.

Hang on, do you mean a lower pop cap overall? If so, that's insanity. The officers already eat up a huge percentage of the USF's pop cap as it is.

Cusack, that's not what he's saying.

Apparently relic believes a 3 men squad with average weapon is as strong as soviet basic infantry and deserves same popcap.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

There is still the massive manpower upkeep you need to pay, which is the worst for USF because their Tech consumes pop.

You realize that I&R Pathfinders are basically a 3-man Airborne squad right? That they actually have higher DPS than Conscripts at most range despite having half the men? They just don't have the durability or sustainability, being 3 men and all...

Wish they would airdrop like Paras.

Or come out of any static building on the map, although that could make I&R pathfinders arty strike kinda broke (Popping an arty strike behind enemy lines).

Against axis DPS, high DPS will give you nothing if you don't have greater range and are able to keep it.
These guys are popcap heavy and melt.
