In the latest patch relic gives USA the mortar unit to counter Axis's hmg suppression. Which, as many has mentioned, is overlapped with the function of rifleman's grenade pack and does not quite fit into the high mobility design of the faction. So here is my ideas on the unit and ability changes: replace the mortar unit with the WC51, and gives RE a new ability to fire a smoke grenade while inside the WC51 truck. The smoke ability has less range than rifleman's one but cost less munition or is free of charge with longer cool down.
I think this design provides more mobility and flexible to the USA opening and it makes RE more useful as a support unit. With the changes they can provide indirct fire(in a fighting position), suppression(volley fire) and the cheap smoke cover which US need for early game. The WC51 also allows player to explore more creative opening building other than the boring 3/4 rifleman opening. What do you guys think?
