They are both misdesinged and OP.
1) XP value us way to low (OP)
2) They come with Elite carbines that else are available to CP 3 and are superior to Riflemen M1. To add salt to would the weapon is very good at close range making Pathfinders and I&R pathfinder able to dish damage at all ranges (bad design)
3) Beacon with no cost/down side (bad design)
4) Able to spam (timing/cost/pop)/Critical kill carbines (OP)
5) Rack 2 weapon slot, no mu cost/slot for scoped carbines (OP)
6) Extra range with vet even to slot weapons/ combined with extra sight to take advantage of the range (OP)
Then what happens with 290mp 4 man squad, high reinforce cost, m1a and scoped m1 garand have conflict profiles, no nade of any kind that super vunerable with any light vehicle, easily get wiped if get caught out of position?
