I spent an evening running through rounds on the map. There were some interesting patterns that I found. I suggest people give it a shot, especially with Janne's Cheat Mod.

Based on my experiences this evening: there is very little consistency in infantry combat battles. There are a few identifiable trends though. Mind you, this is all vet 0 units I'm talking about in 1v1 matchups.

Conscripts are wildly inconsistent but tend to be on the losing end at all ranges. Their battles won are often razor thin.

Rifles tend to win most engagements, but Volks seem to give the most consistent run for their money as long as cover is involved. Rifles seem to lose randomly, but win with 3 members left very consistently.

Penals wreck volks and grens alike. They often don't even lose models. Even in the times they lose models early, they kick into overdrive and wreck the volks and grens even harder.

Tommies pretty reliably lose to volks and grens at close range. They win big at long range.

Grens and Volks alike get wrecked at close quarters, and yellow cover does not seem to be a friend of either. Mid range is very inconsistent for both. Long range is rather inconsistent. The only decisive victorys for Volks and Grens ever seem to be against conscripts.

But something worth noting was this:

CQC battles were over in 20-40 seconds.
Open cover battles over by 1 minute. Yellow cover Penal battles usually all over by this point.
Yellow cover battles over by 1:30-2 minutes. Green cover Penal battles usually all over by this point.
Green cover battles over by 3-4 minutes.

The CoH2 lategame has been a mirror of the CoH1 early game (Riflemen vs MGs):

Heavy tanks with high damage output and limited firing arc vs highly mobile but weak mediums which are to flank the heavies.

It's great design, unique and provided me some of the best gaming moments of my life (not exaggerating here!)

OMG what garbage history did you learn? Or do you get your facts from neo-Nazi Youth magazines?

No...
...correction: DEFINITELY NO!!
Certain units like for example Commandos are supposed to use their stealth to get in close without getting picked off and also effectively counter MGs.
