I've played with the new patch preview and it seems as rifle company is now far from being good as it was.
I agree that it wasn't fair and that something had to be done, but not this.
First of all, the elite training is now replaced with an American Horra ability that makes the unit slower for 10 seconds after use. Why is is so? The Horra doesn't make conscript slower and same thing applies to the Wehrmacht ability (who's name i forgot). Why should i pay 15 munition for an ability that makes my unit go faster and than slower? In my opinion, making them go faster without the penalty would be a suitable replacement for the elite training.
Now for the flamethrower: I agree that it was abused and had to change, but right now it's just a useless ability. The rear echelon are not a combat unit. They die to fast, and even with a flamethrower i wont send them to fight a grenadier squad since they will lose. Why wont we just give rifleman the ability to purchase the M1919?
Your opinions?
Rifle company is dead?

There is a new meta try it: just rifles on the field with bazooka's and bars only rifles get almost 10 rifles and win every game...and then just get easy fuel for easy 8

Usf will still do fine. Now you just have to try instead of just doing something that coincides with recruiting riflemen.

Echelons with a flamer upgrade (like all support units) are not meant to go head to head with main line infantry, the upgrade is designed to allow buildings to be cleared or deny cover.
You're not using them correctly.

It'll be fine and finally there will be some reason to get 2nd RE outside of RE spam lolstrats.
Bad thing is, generalization... But hey, at least now the doctrine should be allowed in tournaments, which means USF will finally have useful armor there and won't have to seal the game by mid game.

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.

Riflemen are a lot tougher than Conscripts. Letting them sprint all willy nilly is actually a lot scarier than veterancy ever was. This lets America execute some really powerful flanking maneuvers.

It's fine. Rear echelon squads are woefully underrated in combat, especially with vet 2 and weapon upgrades.

Will the 'Fire Up' ability have some sort of suppression resistance modifier or what? Because I can see activating it, trying to run around the sides of an MG42's arc (with 2nd unit) only to be suppressed in 0.4 seconds = ability wasted.
If it does I'm cool with the Rifle Company changes.

REs got 25% price increase, so they didn't got any buff, but adjustment.

They better be good for that 440 mp, and they definitely are not close to being as "spammable" as Rifleman with the flamethrower.
They do not gain vet easily like rifles, and their "durability" is not high. So no, terminator rifles.

Their real cost is actually 360 or 380(haven't had enough coffee to do math to check it), so they are cheaper then obers, you're paying 60-80 mp for the ability to spawn them on the field, just like commandos are 350, but you pay 500 for them in commando doctrine #justrelicthings.

Pay 350 for commandos, 50 for ability to spawn anywhere and 100 for ability to destroy OKW trucks.

380
Thanks

Wasn't that fixed recently or I just read and remembered "we added it to our database" and nothing changed?

The gliders are so damn silly...
Oh, instead of walking to the battlefield, just lead me take this really vulnerable, slow glider to the battlefield because yolo.
PS: They fixed the glider slam into OKW truck last month or this month?

I'd rather have Fired Up than an ability that Im only gonna use once in a game and Rear Echelon flamers promote combined arms and teching bars (for rifles) so I support that aswell
I just hope they adjust the Rear Echelon recieved accuracy slightly (just abit dont over do it) because theyre gonna be slightly more expensive to reinforce with their cost increase so I dont want them dropping dead so much this would also make volley fire more useful
