I'd happily pay 320 for a 5th man. Doubly so if it came with a small reduction to their repair capacity, and slightly better combat stats (ideally some armour or rec. accuracy).

With the exception of paratroopers with Thompsons the USF are sorely lacking a decent assault unit.

Either that or finally swap vehicle crew Thompsons with a weapon rack for them. Make the 3rd rack open for any doctrinal weapon choice rather than just being M1919's

I don't think Assault Engineers should get a 5th man since their damage output at close range is already one of the best in CoH2. Whenever I play USF, I almost always go Assault Engineers since if you get a good flank off, the enemy will be forced to retreat or get squad wiped almost immediately.

5 men but keep the current dps and current price. Something about squads with grease guns being super elite would kinda bug me. If they had thompsons I could understand. But nope. Also a buff to assault grenadier short or mid range accuracy would be appreciated.

That would be best.
In fact, this mechanic should be expanded more imo for partisans or irregulars.
And about their repairing capabilities-outside of critical repair they could not exist, they are not useless, but they are not needed as well.

This is actually very possible as every USF infantry unit can wield the Thompson according to the game files. It wouldn't be a droppable item however.

I'm thinking much the same myself.
Keeping them 4 man at vet 0 stops them crippling the early game but lets them have some viability once mg42 and obers hit the field.


I'd honestly gladly swap repairs on the assengies completely for a little armour, though. America is swamped in repair options.

As for the Thompson weapon rack, its something I've been dreaming of in armour company since USF went live.

This is brilliant. I was wondering what I could use to replace the Elite Crews upgrade for my mod. May I use this?

Buff them but increase requirements to 1cp to not make them too dominating early game. If they are situationally as good as rifles then it gives the USF player a choice between engys or 2nd/3rd rifleman squad. Anything that adds choice/play style decisions is good in my book

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
