Thanks for the advice. It is not very encouraging, but I will try.

You do have to have some tactical awareness when using it as not to be punished on retreat or get into a worse position. The exhaustion only gives a speed debuff nothing else. Duel BAR Rifles dominate LMG Grenadiers at close range and sprinting through yellow cover mitigates quite a bit of damage. Being able to negate a few seconds of MG42 fire at it's strongest range is invaluable.

If you wish I could see about getting a replay or two with Rifle Company in 2s or 1s.

Frankly, I was not entirely sure how strong the exhaustion was. I thought it gave received accuracy penalty as well. I remember using it once and then getting completely owned, so I guess I had it as a mental block in my brain not to use it. Good to know. Thanks.

not trying to call ppl noob or nothing but when u see a blob...and u dont punish it... its ur fault... the debuff it gains already it potential to lose all ur troops in a sceond.... ppl need to stop being noob and stop complaining about blobs....just punish them. why should troops get weaker when they are surround by other soldier u would think they would gain some kind of confidence when grouped and supported by one another

That part about confidence is pure BS. In the context of the modern warfare at least. Even in war movies, in the better ones at least, you can constantly hear the NCO reminding the soldiers: "Keep your intervals, don´t bunch up!" Why? Well, if the soldiers stay too close to each other, or behind each other, one bullet from an HMG can hit like 10 guys at once. Also, the cover on the battlefield is usually limited, so if too many soldiers are in one spot, and get under fire, there might not be enough cover to hide behind. That is why, on Iwo-Jima, the Japanese actually waited for the Americans to land most of their forces on the beach, and only then began to fire their artillery. The results were devastating.
If there would a passive debuff, it should start at 4 squads. Any less can be dealt with easily and would eliminate most of the problems with the tactical concentrations of forces. But if somebody spams 7 Rifle squads and uses them with one click, he should be punished for it. Without the explicit hint, the people often don´t even realize the mistake and then blame it on OP arty. Maybe, if they actually saw that hint in there, they would realize: "Oh, maybe I should blob less.", which would improve the quality of play as a whole IMO, especially in team games. It is not really that the blobs are impossible to counter, it is that people with this little skill can actually be reasonably successful in team games, that is what bothers me the most.

Pgrens with kar98s? Muni upgrade for tags and shrecks? Keeping riflemen the same? Keeping bars the same whilst not diminishing terminator vet 3 received accuracy that basically gives yellow cover out of cover?

You're pushing it here lol.

OK, let me put it this way: Would a 1xSTG-44 upgrade on Volks for 60 muni be good, when the STG-44 is VERY similar to BAR in terms of damage(while costing half the muni, I wonder why that is)? NO! With the upgraded LMGs, a single BAR would get outclassed quite hard. The Rifles would lose to both Grens long range and Pgrens and Volks medium/close range, basically forcing USF to go LMG doctrines and making the problem worse.

Correct. The point is not that they are better than grenadiers that frustrates me, the point that frustrates me is why I can't do the same with Ostheer. Grenadiers's design dictates that they stand still and in cover to be effective, yet allied counterparts are running up to grenadiers in cover with double lmg upgrades firing on the move and negating this design completely. (not even adding the terminator USF mortar to this equation)

I don't mind allied double lmg upgrades as long as I could double upgrade grenadiers too. But if we mention this, grenadiers would be OP, even when they need to stand still to use these double lmgs. Meanwhile USF riflemen and UKF infantry sections are fine running around with their double lmg upgrades firing on the move and destroying support weapons in their wake by simply a-moving up to them, simply because they cost 120 munitions to get these weapons.

This isn't balanced if it negates another faction's design whilst also not giving this other faction the same effectiveness in upgrades. The cost to get this functionality isn't a valid argument since every Ostheer player would be happy to pay 120 munitions for double upgraded lmg42 grenadiers, but they can't.

This issue is unacceptable.

Uhhhhhhh, no. Except Obersoldaten, maybe Commandos and Paratroopers, no units can fire LMGs on the move. BARs are different story, because they are not LMGs, they are assault rifles by damage profile. You might want to try playing the so much hated other side before complaining on the forums. Having said that, I also think that buffing the LMGs a little and limiting them to 1 per squad would be healthy for the game. Except DP-28s, one LMG per squad should be enough. The 2 x DP-28 upgrade for Cons with tier 4 also seems like a brilliant idea, making the Conscripts actually somewhat useful in combat, other than throwing AT nades.
