in a standard game, okw infantry composition might look something like this:
sturm volk volk volk (volk) raketen (raketen) mg34 eliteinfantry (eliteinfantry)
jaegers would probably replace the mg34 or eliteinfantry slots, since you need volks to maintain map presence until 2 cp. however, jaegers are inferior to obers/falls/fusiliers in this role. if you decide to go volks > jaegers > obers, you have way too many infantry units to sustain reinforcing and puts a big hindrance on your manpower income. even in a 'force mulitplier' role, theyre quite bad because mid-late game infantry fights are all about killing the enemy as fast as possible, with the least amount of units possible. mid game fights focus around weapon upgrades, lmgs, bars, ppsh, etc, however the jaeger sniper requires time, not only for enemy squads to get low, but also for it to shoot as well. it would be nice if jaegers have guaranteed hit on their scoped g43, or if it shot faster, or if the scoped g43 automatically targetted the weakest model, but it does none of these things.
some people say theyre good for the recon role, but fusiliers are better because they not only have great vision range with the g43 package, but they also get flares at vet 1 and theyre 6 man. ive heard people say that jaeger boobies are useful, but obers have boobies as well in addition to having the best long range dps in the game. jaegers dont even have a first strike bonus to use with their camo.
youre basically paying for a grenadier squad that cant faust and cant riflenade, when you need something to compete against enemy infantry that are outscaling your volks
