Why all the hate for riflemen?

Look, if you make such statements you actually can share some of your replays with us.

Then I guess you might wanna practice your reading comprehension. I have over 350 games 1v1 as Axis and more on 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4...

I´d like to remind everyone that if the only argument you have is someone´s playercard, then, you have no argument at all

why? if someone only plays one faction they never get the whole picture.
You need to play all factions to judge the balance (to be as objective as possible).

If you're using grenadiers only, you don't know how to play ost and picked OKW wrong.

No because if you only play one faction you shouldn`t comment on balance because you are most likely extremely biased

I'll say what I've been saying for years...

Riflemen are good. As others have said, the problem is that they go up against Volks, which can do literally everything.

Sandbags for defense? Check.
Flame nade for offense and garrison use nullification? Check
Snare for fighting vehicles? Check.
All-ranges on-the-field upgrade? Check.
Cheaper and faster to build and reinforce? Check

In the hands of any competent player, this is just boring to play as or against. Change literally only one of these things and you'd have a more fun matchup... hell, even moving sandbags to SturmPios, or locking StGs behind T3, would be enough.

Yeah move sandbags away from a defensive unit with a shit rof and moving dps. I’m sure they can do great moving around like they’re riflemen.

And yeah lock stgs behind T3 so usf can rush bars and dominate the field against your shitty unupgraded volks.

Any other incredible suggestions? Perhaps locking Volks behind T4 because they’re too OP?

Who said something about using grenadiers only? Doesn't take away the fact that riflemen are very good units and rape grenadiers.

Given the cost difference between them and USF limited access to support weapons AND what is standing behind grens in T1 and T0, it would be pretty fucking imbalanced if grens stood a chance.

5 men Infantry Sections locked behind 35 fuel while Volks STG are behind T4. Seems fair to me?
