My vote goes to Thompson Paratroopers. While they are not the best all-round, Thompson Paratroopers are the best (deep-) flanking squad in the game. If you can get them between an enemy squad and their base, they will cut the enemy squad down on retreat almost every time, even when they still have a lot of HP left. This is because the Tactical Advance ability just gives an insane DPS boost.

Back in the days I thought that Pathfinders with that triple bulletin were quite strong. I don´t know what changed, that I barely see this any more.

Nowadays I would go with Rangers though.

Also that gif is not cool if the story they told about him in BoB is actually true.

How? First off the story from the movie was more like a rumor between the soldiers as to what happened, since apparently no one actually saw it.

assuming the gif is even true(because it was just one of the rumor flashbacks) Let's use our heads here. Context. A bunch of PARATROOPERS behind enemy lines. Outnumbered to fuck, supplies and shit scattered everywhere. Cutoff from everything for the foreseeable moment.

SOMEONE took some prisoners. more than they can handle, for reasons stated above. Before they move out to accomplish one of their critical objectives, they kill them off. Possibly inhumanely. Possibly not. Maybe he didn't kill anyone at all. No one even knows.

Inhumane or not,

Was he supposed to hand cuff them, and leave them there with no one watching them? Was he supposed to let them go? Did you watch saving private Ryan where they let some German pow guy go and he came back and killed the same guys that let him go? Should they Leave them for the French partisans to get? Leave them for the Germans to recapture?(How did Germans treat recaptured POWs... Probably not that well I'd imagine if they were somewhat like the Soviets)

Should he turn them into the local French police department? I mean What do you do in that situation? It's a war, not pretty but it was the most logical thing to do ignoring the way it was portrayed in the movie.

I don't mean to turn this into a WW2 morality discussion over a gif, that didn't even show what you're talking about, but you triggered me with that.

Is it possible to upgrade thomsons on the rangers, and then immediately get three weapons while the upgrade is loading?


I think you can get 1 more weapon, because I've picked up shrecks with thompson rangers before exclusively to deny them from an enemy, but after that I think they were unable to acquire more weapons.

Actually you are supposed to let them go. Everything else is a war crime. It´s kind of sick to see you defend such a thing. But just so you can feel how distasteful this is: I´m sure you heard of the Malmedy massacre Kampfgruppe Peiper committed? That was also because they were supposed to advance fast. The prisoners were a burden. Doesn´t make it any less perverted. Everyone who does such a thing to soldiers deserves to be hung from the next tree, be it the murderers from Malmedy or Lt. Speirs. For the latter we could consider the benefit of doubt of course. Yet the gif depicting that supposed crime... him shooting unarmed guys is still shit.

a gif, that didn't even show what you're talking about
That is exactly the scene where he shoots the POWs. You might notice the kneeling German.

You forgot to list the best infantry unit for USF so I cannot vote for it ;)

The best elite infantry unit is a recon paratrooper with thompsons (you need to be lucky to get one 25% chance, thanks RNG) with 2 bars (3 thompsons, 2 bars and one carbine) :D

Massive firepower, nade and the ability to lay mines :D

If only the commander wasn't completely useless and the part that isn't useless or under-performing is rng based.

Why isn't the major on this list?

But in all seriousness,

Is it possible to upgrade thomsons on the rangers, and then immediately get three weapons while the upgrade is loading?

No, it isn't. But you can get 1 additional weapon.

It was never possible for airborne and it isn't possible for rangers either. And before someone asks, no, you also cannot give your medics 2 bars, I tried ;)

- I understimated Lelic on that point :p

- Double upgrade is still a thing if you are fast enought on obers and volks

- Well, medic dont have weapon slot so it explains that.

Rangers with 3x BAR.


This is pretty fun, give them not only close combat effectiveness like Thompsons.

27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
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.

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.
