Where did I rant about allies? I just said his idea was a bad idea. I think u have an unhealty obssession of accusing me of being Ost biased.
Meanwhile USF gets assault inf on literally all doctrines except inf company, SU gets 1 min mark penals which are on par with pgrens and Brits get non-doc 5man sappers which are extremely cost efficient that can take on upgraded grenadiers sometimes.
You brought up allied "assault infantry" while yourself stating that pgrens aren't even assault infantry. I don't care what faction is your favorite, you're allowed to have one, I care if its getting in the way of having a productive conversation everytime you make your point.
Like I understood your point LESS because of what you brought up. If pgrens are not assault infantry, then why are you bringing up the fact that US has commanders with Assault Engineers?
My opinion is that a 5 man idea for the stg squad should be experimented with, like a few people have suggested. They stay at 4 man with shrecks, or you can upgrade to a 5th man. Maybe give him a g43 if 5 man stgs ends up being too strong.
