Pathfinders need a nerf don't they?

I hear BARs on them are quite good, even potentially requiring a nerf, but I use them without the BARs and the damage they deal is largely mediocre. I think it'd be good if we had some tests done with paths both with and without BARs to see if that needs changing as well.

Just imagine new commander with pathfinders and browning 1919

I think I was talking about Barfinders with someone else in an older thread, but basically, they synergize with bars better when they are on other squads rather than on the pathfinder themselves. The drop chance is also high since the sniper takes priority.

I think I´ve seen a video where they picked up one LMG34 and just murdered everything
Though maybe that was fixed already, since it was quite a long time ago

Also, one can try to have a Brit teammate drop them LMGs via the HT commander

I'm quite positive that 120 weapon muni investment will be quite good on any single squad in game.

Generally speaking bar are better on other squads but when Pathfinders get vet 3 the vet bonuses are simply very high making deadly if they have a weapon. And they do vet very fast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x0m0VE0MmE This one? Pretty funny! Dropped LMG34 got nerfed hard, now it's basically an LMG42 (so still pretty good).

BARs on Pathfinders are bad. The DPS increase is less than on other USF squads, they drop a lot, the range curve/fire on the move is a poor match. Use them behind other BAR squads for best results, or get them a real MG.

Just a side note- Pathfinders and JLI moving accuracy is really low, but their fire isn't slowed down. Switching that around may be a good gameplay indication to not use them while moving.
