Rifle company is dead?

Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2015, 08:57 AMMaist

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?

RE's also got a combat buff, besides the flamer.
It was needed to remove the flamer off of the rifles..

They better be good for that 440 mp, and they definitely are not close to being as "spammable" as Rifleman with the flamethrower.

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

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.

380

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