If you lose rifles, you lose the game. 4 rifles and 3 paratroopers is waaaaay too crazy.
You can afford to lose a rifle squad or two and still win if you are replacing them and keep map presence, and 4 rifle squads over the ENTIRE GAME isn't at all rare and 2-3 Para's is piss easy to get if you don't waste your MP.
It all depends on what and when, Para's to replace losses over the course of the game makes sense, you might not make 3 when you first unlock them but ending the game with 2-3 Para's isn't hard at all unless you let them get squad wiped.
1919 Para's rip apart enemy infantry, you won't be seeing much losses.
You don't let them do anything because you have never played a 1v1 with any faction. You're just making up these wishful thinking but-I-watch-stream sscenarios, when again you just talk out your ass.
Squad wipes happen? I thought USF was invincible and rolled over ostheer with impunity and devastation thanks to unlimited manpower and lack of weakness?
Stop exaggerating, nobody said USF was an instant win versus Ost, merely that it was easier to beat Ost as USF.
I don't play 1v1, but pretty much everyone agrees that USF are better in 1v1 with out my input on the matter so I don't see the point you are trying to make here.
Do you ever watch Romeo/Hans/Sib? They both use Para's quite a lot, I have a feeling your just pissed because your favorite faction is USF.
