Another JLI Idea

@mods i made valid points as to why jli are OP and contesting babas insistence on maintaining jli in its current state despite calling out baba for his bias...

An invis to the argument is unfair

Also @baba playercard please? You claim to be an allied player but your playercard gives an error 200

Arent you the same wehraboo who said allied mgs should be shit while axis can have the good mgs?
Whats next? A leopard 2 is balanced and should be ingame?
Gardening wehraboos... if you want your axis orgasm make a mod and play vs ai

I wanna keep my op unit because im a little shit... waaaaah
Ive got an idea... relic pls give the allies nuclear bomb equipped infantry for a patch so that wehraboos like baba can finally shut up for being hypocrites

You seem to be too stupid to get it aswell...

Jaeger Light Infantry are the hot topic of the balance forum at the moment, with their very high damage and low cost leading to spam and lots of angry forum posts.

Most of the suggestions involve toning down JLI's damage to cost ratio: pushing them up to 280-300 MP is the usual suggestion, with others involving toning down their ambush and sniping bonuses or increasing their munitions cost.

But what if you left their damage alone, and toned down their durability instead?

• Jaeger Light Infantry squad size from 4 men to 3.
  
• Sniper Rifle unlocked automatically.
  
• Possibly increase their range slightly.

This'd keep JLI's performance pretty much the same in the role they're designed for: sitting at the back in a cover fight getting snipes, with other infantry screening for them.

However, they'd be more vulnerable to their counters (CQC and vehicles), making spamming them not viable at all. You'd need other squads to screen for them, much like protecting a sniper.

You could do something similar for Pathfinders too: drop their cost substantially, but reduce them to 3 men. That'd make them high damage, high LoS recon squads that can dish out a lot of damage but really don't want to be taking fire themselves.
