Close range when their LMG's reduce in effectiveness the Gren's Kar98's will become a major factor in relation to the game. And Grens are Ostheer's mainstay infantry, the fact they don't use other infantry is kind of an issue in on to itself but that's a battle for another day.

I'm so tired of "it costs more and therefore should be better" arguments. If that were true, Shock Troopers should always beat Panzerfusiliers and Assault Grenadiers should always beat Conscripts. Obviously those are special cases, but I want to point out that that logic alone cannot be used to justify balance changes.

The US late-game deficiencies have more to with a lack of decent late-game tanks and AT options rather than with Riflemen underperforming anyways. Not saying that Riflemen aren't a problem, but they aren't the biggest issue.

This is true, although I'm not sure that it should be. I feel that small arms should be as effective as any other weapon.

we should try to define micro better, do you want to get better at positioning individual units during a firefight, or do u want to get better at macroing across the whole map and making sure your units are always doing something?

for the latter, you just need to keep reminding yourself to check up on all your units every few seconds. the easiest way for me is to 1. look at the top right corner at your units cards. 2. looking at the minimap every couple seconds. other ways that are very important is audio cues! a squad will tell you when an enemy squad is throwing a grenade at you, if theyre under attack, what kind of enemy theyre under attack from, and if theyre getting sniped!

another tool some people have failed to mention is the spacebar. pressing the spacebar will snap ur camera to the last notification, such as when a unit finishes training and walks onto the field, or when a unit finishes capping a point. so when you hear your announcer telling you your unit is finished training, hit space bar and immediately give it an order to where it should go. or if a unit finishes capping, hit spacebar so u can tell it to go cap another point.

the most important thing though is to always remind urself to look at the top right and make sure everything is in order. you will know wether ur units are engaged, dying, idle, suppressed, etc etc by looking at the top right.

theres one micro technique that is similar to the cloning technique from sc2. when you have a large number of units selected at once, you can press TAB to cycle through each unit in the group, and you can give them individual commands that are only issued to them instead of the whole group. this is useful when youre controlling blobs and want to get each squad into cover quickly or to spread out when artillery hits. its also useful when you have a large force in ur base and u want to move out into several areas of the map, you can select the whole group, press tab, order them to go to an area on the map, press tab again, order them to go to another area etc etc.
