I prefer the Rangers coming with Garands if possibly that they may be decent at mid-long range and you can decide what range they can be good at later on.

And we don't know the stats of the M1 Garand they use.

There's honestly no reason to pick any other usf commander. Mines, elite inf, heavy tank, arty barrage (albeit smoke). What's the point of even having other commanders :P

Thompsons better be worth the cost :) do you guys think theyll be 90muni like para thompsons and I do wonder how effective the multiplayer version of rangers will be effective with thompsons

Also now people wont really need rifle company as we now got a tank that doesnt need major to be called in and we are getting a new unit so we can have something that isnt riflemen

When I can take a close look at the portrait, he certainly seemed to be equipped like a light infantryman would. He seems to have a lot on his back and shoulders.

Nostalgia.

Hell yesz the M26 Pershing is here for USF to use. bout time USF get a heavy tank of their own it was waaaaaay long overdue. now we have a tank that can survive more shots then a sherman. i cant w8 to start punching big holes in the axis more-bang-for-their-buck mobile pillbox tanks (i mean all of them starting with the panzer iv and panther)with the Pershing supported by infantry, M4 shermans and M36 jacksons of course!

Why not just give them m1 garands with better accuracy stats? That's literally what relic has done with all the other kar98k variants for volks/grens/obers/etc.

Lack of on/off map arty :)

Still OKW Commander seems more powerful cause combined with stock units, it does not lack anything.

There are plenty of reason to still pickup other commanders, you're scaring me if you don't see them.
