I am having trouble using this unit to its full potential. My JLIs rarely vet up much compared to PFs, Falls, or Obers. I know it's a great unit. I tend to use it to decap, harass, skirmish, and flank team weapons.

One way to maximize the effectiveness of JLI is telling them to focus-fire low health squads during engagements. This way you get the most out of their scoped G43 rifle that auto-kills models that are below 70%HP on hits.

Keep them in buildings also works for me

You dont have to use it as skirmisher and decap only. Its and expensive unit and should be extensively used on frontline, just in the second line behind volks. Its better to use volks and even better kubel to cap as these are cheaper units.

Thanks for the input. Do they excel at long or medium range?

look at it like grenadiers, in cover and the more away from the enemy better.

I found they are quite successful at counter sniping if the enemy allows themself even a slight lapse in concentration. Due to them being effective AI at long range, they also seem to be a lot more survivable then fallschrimjagers and they don't double the flanking/assault role of sturmpios.

Nobody mentioned this yet, but they are also very very good at killing snipers. A couple hits and they can instakill them, fighting the brit sniper made easy.

Look at post above yours.

I agree with the guy who said to put them in garrisons. They are somehow incredibly hardy when in garrison and can snipe easily from there. They are just such handy little fakkers. Spawning in empty garrisons wherever you need them. My favourite call in infantry for OKW.

Treat them like a Grenadier and a Sniper fighting along next to each other.. The only difference is that they can only snipe below %70 HP. BUT the beauty of JLI is the OP 15 muni grenades. Spam them everywhere and you'll get a squadwipe eventually and even then what can you lose it's only 15 muni LUL.
