It reinforces, transports 2 squads...

Cannot mount a quad, dies to a single Fallschirm or Sturmpio squad focusing fire on it...

I have a major set up and an ambulance for reinforcing. I'd rather have the refunded partial cost of the M3 than the M3 itself.

Likely an idea they were toying with that snuck into the release version of the patch. It is indeed back to where it was last week. No real changes.

Command panthers being less fuel than vanilla panthers was pretty chuckle worthy, though.

Stupid tests for stupid people. Disregard, move on.

...For a squad to be effective AT they need at LEAST 2 bazookas which takes up all the slots so the rifle will be lackluster against infantry. Having more weapon slots let's the bazooka be used more often, also allowing more varying strategies from US players....

...And what about the other 'terminator' squads? Obersoldaten, Jaeger light infantry, panzerfusiliers, falls? Rifles need BARs or lmgs to compete late game with them...

A) Why do you think rifles are so special that they deserve to be amazing at both AT and AI? Name one other squad that gets to do that. What you want is not 'varying stratergies', it's called all-purpose boring ass rifle blobs

B) Rifles are tier 0 standard infantry. They're not meant to one man duke it out with elite infantry, even with upgrades. You have lieutenants for that (Dat Thompson) in the small sense and numbers in the larger scale. It's not like conscripts fare any better against them, is it?

Veteran Riflemen: Aside from the opening 3 minutes, that 20MP is a trivial cost for the end result of quicker vet on rifle squads. The changes helped avoid the massive imbalance, but the decision is still a no brainer. The investment of a conscript for the XP of killing two dozen? Why would anyone ever say no?

As an idea, perhaps you could actually make Elite Riflemen into a separate, distinct unit. Something at much higher CP and some armour, heavy weapons and support abilities. Slap a fuel cost on them to really drive home the point.

Would sort of eat into the OKW's 'theme', but nothing wrong with that. Ostruppen waves have been cutting into soviet turf for a long time.

Soviet Weapon Teams: If you do, they need major, major buffs. Massive ones. A 4 man maxim is nothing but rifle nade fodder. They already have a good chance of being wiped by a pair of rifle nades at 6 men.

Long Range Combat: WHY ARE LMG'S MORE DAMAGING AT LONG RANGE WHAT NONSENSE LOGIC IS THIS.

That aside, cutting down long range DPS wholesele would help keep infantry alive, but would seem like a step backwards. Yes, Assault Engineers need to be close, but running them through an open field of fire should get them murdered.

Not every type of unit should be appropriate for every map. Mid to close range infantry should be for tight maps, and long range for open fields. Stands to reason.
