It means their sniper rifle pretty much ignores green cover.

For comparison, StG Obers, who obliterate everything behind cover have 0.75 green cover accuracy modifier while 0.5 is standard for everyone else but real snipers.

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.

Fire Up makes the squad slow down after the sprint. It's a terrible ability nobody uses.

The commanders that work well against JLI are Armor and Mechanized: the two which give you relatively cheap close combat troops early on.

No snares on JLI. They rely on nearby Volks squads for protection against light vehicles. Which they can Sprint to if they've got the munitions.
