Profile of JPA32

vet 5 pF and vet 3 penal at point blank range is literally up to the last man alive i did the test

the dps of the g43 is high for sure but they only have 3 not the whole squad, if u give bren to IS or give ppsh to cons they do lose

Yeah that's true for Penals, compared to Volks where Penals win the engagement at every range by a clear mile that is a significant step up since game situations involve multiple units you can apply less help to that fight to ensure a victory and if your opponent wants to ensure he doesn't lose he needs to provide his own support there rather than letting the Penals win as if against Volks. But like I said the major problem is getting the Pfussiliers into position to take that fight which is why earlier Sprint would be helpful.

Brens gain almost 0 damage over Enfields at close range due to reverse damage falloff so not really. Again, if they had sprint the Bren's would have less opportunity to deal damage on the close-in and the Pfussiliers could hit effective combat distance to force the Sections off or wipe them if the opponent slips up on micro. Compared to Volks here this is an outright win for Pfussiliers since Volks are dominated by Sections fullstop and have no way to close in effectively but you still go JLI 100% of the time vs Brits if you don't want to hate your life the entire game since JLI just take away all advantages Sections have so probably irrelevant but maybe early sprint could provide Pfussiliers some merit? (Longshot especially compared to JLI but worth considering even if it turns out wrong)

PPSH Cons were a meme and still are a meme. You don't fight SMG units at close range and even if you did Pfussiliers could deal a fat chunk of damage just outside of the PPSH Cons effective range before leaving compared to Volks so they're still better in that department. The answer to this is still multiple units supporting each other to bleed the SMG unit out of effectively dealing damage since they're helpless outside of 10m. Be it Volks or Pfusilliers, irrelevant point.

Thing is if all you do is compare 1v1 infantry fights without the context of a full game you're going to come to incorrect conclusions on the basis of a lack of complete information about how all the pieces of the game fit together and I see that so much here with people extrapolating problems out of isolated tests that don't really apply to actual game situations. 1v1 tests can be a good way of gleaning basic information about how units perform in a vacuum vs opposition and compared to equivalent units of a faction but any more than that and you're usually way off course without proper understanding of what to expect in a real game.

When it comes to Pfussiliers, give them earlier sprint so they can actually close in on things they want to kill (Hell bump it from vet 5 to vet 1 if you want to go crazy, but Vet 2-3 would probably be the answer since that's about the time they need help.)

Pfussiliers are a little underwhelming right now. You've got a trash squad for the first 4-5 minutes who can't build cover and whose only purpose is to eat shit and snare ultra lights. Then you've got a great squad post upgrade for the next couple minutes that shreds infantry and has better snares vs LV's and from there it all goes downhill as they become outscaled by opposing vet and weapon upgrades since it becomes harder and harder to close in as more units hit the field and they all hit harder on approach which is usually mitigated by SMG/mobile aggression units having either sprint, smoke, or camo (Or some variation of the three).

They're a late game aggressive squad that doesn't scale into the lategame well enough in relation to what you have to pay to get them there. They don't need damage they just need something they can functionally use to apply the pressure they want given their damage profile. Vet 5 is just too late for sprint on this unit without other forms of pressure but otherwise I don't think they're necessarily fundamentally useless when compared to current Volks, they just have too many flaws that prevent them from being a suitable mainline replacement/sidegrade.

OP is my favorite single celled organism. I played him a couple times about 2 months ago and he makes sure to only build Ass Toms then unga bungas them onto your fuel (6 feet apart so he doesn't "blooob" them ofc) and stays there for as long as possible as he bleeds all his infantry to death. Then gets mad and posts novels of angry profile comments after he only chain builds Cromwells and you just build At guns to zone them out as you cap the map around him.

Try doing literally anything to save your infantry, retreat earlier, build medics, build an LV, adapt and do something instead of playing like a nonfunctioning flowchart. Though last time I tried to help you all you did was talk nonsense and make excuses about how great you are and how I'm trash because you have 2000 hours or something stupid along those lines. In one sentence, the whole reason you get mad that someone is building 14 AT guns against you and winning is because you throw your entire infantry to hold Fuel and they don't have to care about anything else lmao.

Also never stop leaving angry profile comments. My boys and I still laugh about how absolutely ridiculously hilariously wrong they are on basically every front.

But otherwise I doubt it will ever be added to the game sadly.

Yeah I know, but I can dream.

Why not give the option to do it ? "Nobody will use it" is a bad statement. I would personally stick with 1-2 of my Grens with LMGs and keep the last two or later replacements for wiped squads with the upgrade. There is no justification of keeping it as another 2CP upgrade. Just make it locked behind 3rd Tier and we have ourselves something unique and late game focused.

Fundamentally a late game upgrade has to be incredibly powerful in some form because it's accessible for a shorter amount of time than standard upgrades thus providing less long term value. an example late game 5 man Grenadier upgrade would step on the toes of the existing LMG upgrade (Or any of the current existing upgrades for Grens depending on it's intention) which would cause it to either be overshadowed in it's role by a current upgrade, or completely transcend it and all others by being too powerful forcing you to wait for it with nearly no in-between which would be bad design.

That being said, current Gren design has it's own balancing issues with basically every usable doctrine at the moment being something that modifies or replaces Grens which is a symptom of a greater problem with the squad on a fundamental level.
