I am pretty sure RM does less dps vs volks at long range. It is easy to say than done. Simply volks cost less to build and reinforce, by the time you charge into green cover you probably lost the fight already in a one vs one situation. Grenadiers out scale any infantry with vets and lmg upgrade.
The result of your test probably didn't take gap close in consideration. I agree if both units start behind cover, RM wins mid and close range.
So why a unit cost 280 has to gap close with the support of other units in order to win vs 250 manpower unit?
Gren with lmg upgrade destroys rifleman, you can't even gap close with smoke.
I play against karl everyday, I think he is one of the best OKW players. Blob of Volks sit behind a sandbag at your fuel point is instantly retarded for usf to deal with.
There are more things in play than just DPS in engagements. Rifles are more durable than volks in the RA department.
Stop charging across fields with a single rifle into green cover volks. Of course you lose that engagement. USF would be even more brain dead prior to 2x BARs if they didn’t lose that engagement.
Somehow a 240mp squad and 60 muni upgrade in your mind is somehow better than Thompson rangers or paratroopers....
These results are not my tests. These tests were conducted MANY times, by MANY individuals when volks were receiving their veterancy nerfs. In some tests they didn’t account for gap closure because the rifles still won prior to upgrades vs volks at Max range.
If you play against Karl, why haven’t you tried any piece of indirect to dislodge fortified positions?
