Paratroopers are the best american squad in the game.

Paratroopers are probably the strongest squad in the game. Can't think of any other squad that can 1v1 them if both players play it as they should.

I accept the challenge for him. I don't get back until the 8th though. I'll stream the match, or maybe we can get someone to cast it... anyway, just come up with a time.

They're not equivalent at all.

Against an LMG42 Grenadier squad in green cover, you can take another piece of green cover and coverfight it, with the result being down to numbers and weapon ranges as usual. You've also got the option of rushing in with a CQC unit, in which case the Grenadier has to retreat.

Neither option works against JLI. They've got such extreme bonuses against squads in green cover that your only option to fight them is to close in, and then they've got Sprint to escape that.

Your only options are heavy investment in doctrinal CQC and light vehicles.

It feels a lot like playing against a Sniper. JLI are counterable, but they're not fun in the slightest. I usually want to just hit /l there and then rather than play against them.

I mean, I already said they get a g43 sniper instead of an mg42.

And closing actually is a viable tactic against JLI as it is against grenadiers. Having your jli sprint away to kite sounds cool and super effective until you realize:

-it costs munitions (obviously a small amount, but still)
-it means giving up the cover position you probably wanted to be holding in the first place
-you get shot in the back the entire time while youre sprinting away, with the squad still pursuing (if favorable), meaning when youre done sprinting, you can still be left in close range anyway

Basically, using sprint in small arms combat is usually suboptimal.

Also, what extreme bonuses against cover? I believe youre referring to a reduced penalty on a single weapon in the squad which relies heavily on the rest of the weapons in the squad chipping away with damage first. The rest of those weapons I referred to are gren rifles.

I dont believe im stepping out of line whatsoever by simply coming out and saying that absolutely NOTHING about the new commanders has been decided yet. Im flattered that you think those of us on the "community panel" could have worked fast enough so as to have implemented the patch we did AND planned the new commanders already, but we're not quite THAT good.

After this holiday season closes (so soon? TM), I imagine we'll be looking to officially gauge feedback on the patch (you know, the stuff that didnt start fires at the relic office and incite riots across the world, requiring hotfixes) and make the necessary fixes. Im sure we all already know a few units that are probably getting changed.

Once this patch is (by most standards) balanced/fixed, planning will start on the new commanders, and an ideas/planning thread will be posted on public forums (no reason to do it that much differently than the revamps, in my opinion).

Again, Im not Andy, so what I said in this post about future proceedings isnt certain, its just my understanding about how things are going to go (though, again, that does mean that the part about nothing about the new commanders being decided is true).

Finally, thank you to everyone who gave ideas for the revamp commanders and USF teching, tested these new features, and gave feedback in the forums. I hope we can create some great commanders in the new year together!

Edit: changed true to not true; cant believe i forgot the not :/

Edit edit: removed the "not" because I realized I had it correct the first time... im going to stop editing even if that means the grammar will be poor...

Whats your opinion on making their reinforcement cost a bit cheaper? 30 Feels a bit much for a 5 man squad.

Yeah fair enough.
