Rangers are easy mode once you get lucky enough to find the medic upgrade through a random event (every squad at that point can out heal 3 squads shooting at it while in green cover, its retarded). Otherwise, I too, like Romeo, had some down to the wire battles. One of the fuel depot defense missions had me lose something like 56 strength, down to 2/100, since the last 5 minutes were just an absolute hell hole.
Tell you what, Rangers are easy start, true strength is in Airborne...
Upgrade everything in Airborne tree =>
1) Airborne Drop 266 manpower (What's the point of rifleman anymore?)
2) Strafing Run
37 ammo!!
3) Drop ammo & fuel 75 ammo & 25 fuel!! for 262 mp
4) P47
70 ammo
How can you even lose??
vs Ober - Swarm it with Brownings
vs Tiger - Swarm it with Shermans + Jacksons (I unlocked M36 Jacksons yes)
you will never run out of ammo and fuel with drops...and such cheap air support
