What if I told you that bar on echelons has better dps than on rifles.
Echelons vet faster and feed less
Echelons have smoke and flamer to counter garrison.
Echelons have 5 men in squad
Echelons have supression fire ability to supression anyone
Echelons have captain on me to counter supression tools
Echelons cost 200 MP (far more spamable and replaceable than riflemen) and repair tanks, construct cover and mines
They are tool for every occasion
Do I need to continue ?
So why nobody spam Echelons today? Why when VonIvan did it vs Noggano (I guess it was vs Noggano I don't remember exactly) during the final Faction showdown USF vs Ostheer didn't he completely dominate him? Even the first match with the surprise effect he won thanks to victory points, 20 points more and it would have been over for him.
Oh yes, because you've been butthurt and thus, unable to admit it you can only accuse RE to be too strong.
Hey you know what, too bad you're not anymore a strategist specialist but anyway why don't you show us a couple of replays where you dominate your opponent with RE spam.
But before that, allow me to remember you what was my proposal: exchange smokenade with Flamethrower. I don't care if FT takes two slots or not, I want something balanced so if it need to take two slots, it is fine. I don't care if we decide to disable BARs ont RE to make sure we can't make an army of RE, it is fine as well. I repeat myself, I'm not looking for an OP solution, but a solution for USF to clean building like any other faction do.
Or look, I'm not stubborn, give RE flamnade if you want.
