Profile of JPA32

IS with 1 bren/BAR-K will simply perform excellent in all range.

The Fuel requirement to do this makes this impossible in any reasonable game between two players of equal skill. Even if it were possible, it doesn't actually provide enough benefit to justify doing because you're directly contradicting Infantry Sections main strength of superior long range damage by removing one of their Bren Guns, additionally, because you're attempting to also be aggressive with this squad you're invalidating the strength of the 1 Bren Gun on approach resulting in a gimped close range squad that doesn't deal enough damage to justify closing in with and a weaker ceiling in the lack of a second Bren at long range.

Ro.E compared to RE might start a bit slow but once they vet up they become way too durable thus double BAR-K or even 3 weapons on them including flamer will make them a very cost efficient unit in late with lots of utility.

Unless I'm wrong, you can only get 2 weapons on the Engineers, both the Recovery Sappers and normal Sappers. Sappers do become durable at Vet 3 but at the point where they are Vet 3 and you've placed double Vickers K's on them they are no longer a supporting Engineer unit. You are using them as a Mainline Infantry Unit and that is okay. When compared to Infantry Sections they're just fine and you're trading a late game infantry performance boost for an early game performance deficient when compared to Sections, not only that, but you're denying the ability for handheld At and Minesweepers for the ability to do this which is a fair tradeoff.

In a similar manner Raid section with double bren (or brain/BAR-K) will also perform great at all range similar or even superior to LMG Riflemen.

Putting Brens on Raid Sections make no sense as you can simply build regular Sections and place Brens on them for infinitely more impact and better performance. The only justification here I suppose would be the ability to skip Bolster which would leave you with a weakened Tommy + Sapper for not much benefit. While again placing Bren+VickersK on a Raid Section runs into the same problem as with regular sections that you're taking a unit designed with a purpose in mind and neutering that purpose for general utility which is shown to not work because utility does not trump specialized strength.

Your fears are unfounded in any practical sense.

Meh, Grease Guns in game are for engineers and vehicle crews, and doesn't exactly seem advanced either. There's a ton of nonsensical weapon variants and profiles in game, I don't see the issue with common soldiers handling an smg worse than Rangers. Cavalry Rifles can't be your mainline infantry

Cav Rifles use Grease Guns before they upgrade to Thompsons and it fit the profile you were talking about. Honestly I wouldn't be against just doing what they did to Heavy Fortifications for OKW and smashing Advanced Infantry Equipment + Rifleman Field Defenses together, then throwing Cav Rifles into Rifle Company. Would make the doctrine infinitely better.

The M3 is an interesting option to throw into Rifle Company. I'm not sure if it's really the answer since the whole draw of the commander is the EZ8 which doesn't really need help against P4s, but an M3 with Double Zook RE's and Double Zook Major (Or LT w/e) can be an absolutely devastating piece of AT in the late game when your M3 has "Step On It!" which gives your M3 insane turning and mobility that you can circle strafe a snared P4 which has too slow turret rotation to follow.

That being said, At Guns, Tellers, and basic P4 body rotation can easily invalidate this in a vast majority of situations but if placed into the right situation the Bazooka Bus has a lot of onus to make a play with it's excellent speed and damage output given that the only requirements are 4 Bazookas, a Vet 1 M3, and a recently damaged P4.

I'm not a particularly big fan of Raid Sections right now in practice. At 33(!?) to reinforce they are completely unviable as a mainline infantry since you bleed manpower at an exceptionally high rate. I'm assuming a 33 Reinforce cost is a bug or an oversight because I see no reason Raid Sections couldn't be 28.

As for their toolkit, it's all over the place and I don't understand what you're supposed to want out of them. They have no sandbags, molotovs, camo, faster decap/cap rate, and sprint. These things don't really do anything together, it just feels like a mishmash of abilities thrown onto a Rifleman squad in an ultimately kinda bad doctrine.

When I look at Raid Sections I don't see a unit that I would want over any of the other starting Brit units. Regular Tommies are monsters in cover and these don't have the ability to plant cover so I immediately dislike combining them with normal Sections while not bringing anything I couldn't get out of Sections already, as an aggressive unit I would much rather have Ass.Toms who carry a similar toolkit but do their job significantly better in a much better doctrine. ReCo Sappers are cheaper and carry significantly more utility while being a better anti-garrison/cover unit.

The things they do make no sense, why are they so prohibitively expensive to reinforce? Why do the Brits have a Rifleman clone without faster reinforce times to help the unit actually be on the field? Why does the unit have Sprint without having a way to capitalize on damage or gain some utility (Raid Section Snares maybe? The ability to throw Mills Bombs with tech?) Why does this unit have Camo without first strike or the ability to move? What's even the point?

The way I see it, there are 2 different routes this unit could take to have it's own defined role and make people want them. Riflemen Section or Infiltration Section.

Rifleman Section would be similar to the existing version. 0 CP 280/28 but it would gain +Faster Reinforce Time +AT Grenade Snare, +/-Activatable Sprint @ Vet1 -Camo -Only having 10% Faster Capture/Decapture Time. This unit would be a Brit Mainline that could snare and provide a faster map presence and degarrisoning tool in the molly at the cost of Green Cover and higher bleed.

Infiltration Section would be a replacement for Infiltration Commandos because they're just jankily designed. Infiltration Sections would be a 3 CP 4 Man (5 With Bolster for consistency) Infiltration Unit using the new Carbine style Enfield damage model with 2 mutual Upgrades. Ambush Package 1x 45Muni Thompson that provides Gammon Bombs, or the Assault Package 1x 60Muni Vickers K that provides Molotovs. Unit would get +33% Capture/Decapture Rate +First Strike on their Camo and ability to move in camo +/-Vet 1 Sprint

Hardly a proper comparison when it leaves out the bit where the 223 brings the utility of being able to give any resource sector +100% income... That stuff costs something on top of combat performance.

Or the environment in which these units start. Which is against min 1 Panzerfausts and T0 Raketens for the M20, and defenseless Infantry Sections and Rifles for the 221.

I retract my entire statement. The resource gain is actually doubled and I have no idea how I got +3 on Fuels. I need to reconsider this unit and think about it more since I had a drastically less powerful version of it going in my head.
