Do you think riflemen should have that ability or at least 1 static USF unit that is not from a commander?

I'm the biggest USF fanboy there is, but please drop it OP, I understand that Rangers are the most low budget elite Infantry in the game and bring nothing to the table. But having more units with Thompsons is just not needed.
Half of all doctrines for USF already have units with thompsons.

I understand were you're coming from, but imo it would be more fun adding new units with a different role then Thompsons.
For example, the Crocodile

Yeah maybe a Pacific Commander resigned from the Pacific Front to fight in Europe? With a a squad that is the name of what ever it is called again ''.... Rangers'' that has Thompson and then at the 12 CP you will be able to spawn a Crocodile!

Is this bait?

There are three USF units in the game, that aren't Rangers, that have Thompsons. Two of them are non-doctrinal. No reason is given as to why they should get one more via Riflemen.

Units that can get Thompson SMGs:
Paratroopers
Rangers
Vehicle Crews
We don't need anymore CQC units.
Maybe there should be a doctrine where riflemen trade one of their models to have a recoilless rifle.

I'd give the Captain the BARs and give the Lieutenant squad Thompsons, I think that would be interesting. Not the same Thompsons that Rangers / Airborne / Vehicle crews get, of course.

Riflemen definitely don't need Thompsons, they're already the best at CQC of all mainline infantry notwithstanding possible new volksgrenadiers. RE, vehicle crews and major are too fragile for CQC. Captain already has one and more would be an overbuff, maybe appropriate to get one or two more if the loss of free zooks bites hard. That only leaves the LT which could be a suitable candidate but the upgrade would need to be suitably expensive and delayed to prevent too much of a power spike when he comes onto the field.
Overall though interesting idea but really not necessary at this point.

Giving CPT bazooka plus BAR and the LT an upgrade to get all four SMGs doesn't sound very bad.

The only new thompsons unit i want to see is cavalry rifles from the campaign to replace the mechanized M3.

Not really
Rangers cost 390-400 I think? That is an Ober squad

Low budget as in the units themselves.
Literally the only thing they have is a nade and dps.
No other abilities whatsoever, it's just a no brain unit that's way too easy too use.

Huge fan of ww2, love going down to the range and unloading freedom into paper from Grands, Kars to Mp40s Thompson's.
Why i bring it up? I just kinda suprise/disappointed that thompson is a short range weapon, its a .45 shell after all
