Recommended weapons to use for the Rear Echelons

BAR(Browning Automatic Rifle): An effective US LMG that allows the Rear Echelons to actually dish out damage onto enemy targeted squads since their M1 Carbines do very little in the game.

M1919: Although this is doctrinal, it gives Rear Echelons more utility with the Riflemen since they act as extra firepower for the US to have and that they can possibly pin certain units at a quick rate before they can dish out any damage onto the Riflemen.

I do not suggest that you give the Rear Echelons Bazookas since they do very little combination with the Volley Fire ability. However, if the situation is dire and Rear Echelons are needed to pick up this weapon to deal with the vehicle and armor support then it is okay. This is a guide, not a rulebook.

Recommended Vehicles for them to capture

Panzer IV: To be honest, it's better than the M4A3 Sherman since it doesn't have the shell switching that the Sherman has. I recommend that you just take this jsut because of that.

Panzer V 'Panther': Definitely better than a regular Sherman.

Puma: Let's be honest. It is really better than an M5 Stuart when it comes to combat wise. Other than that, it is a good scout unit that can tell other light units to ♥♥♥♥ off.

The Baneblade King Tiger: It's a heavy tank, the US doesn't have one. Self-explanatory.

Tiger: Read the description above.

Recommended Support Weapons to capture

MG42 HMG: It's the best MG with a high rate of fire and with the largest arc in the game. Capture that with cheap infantry and it won't be a problem.

Mortars: ANY mortar is better than the Pack Howitzer. If you have to steal one from an ally, do it.

57mm Anti-Tank Gun: My reasoning is this. Cheap AT gun captured by cheap Rear Echelons will not be a pain when it comes to reinforcing it with manpower.

Pak 40: It has good penetration and rate of fire. The enemy has tanks with good armor. Figure it out. Plus, Target Weak Point will allow you to stun that damn Panther or Tiger before it makes an attempt to escape.

Recommended Weapon Pick Ups (Nothing US)

DP-28: I will not say that it's bad.

MG42 LMG: Bite those Grenadier squads in the ♥♥♥ with those things. It's about time the US had a fighting chance.

MG34 LMG: If you just killed an Obersoldaten squad that is definitely a reward for the Rear Echelons.
