As a usf main i dont see any problems with weapon racks... sure, most of the time you use Bars on rifles and zooks on REs but atleast it gives you the options like tripple zook ranger.
Or you can get one rifle squad with zooks, weak vs infantry but you have the only mainline infantry with handhelt at and snare etc etc
If you go for thomson ranger, airborne or just early mine spam you can purchase the racks later on when you saved up munitions.

you get a free squad with each tech, no need for free weapon upgrades imo.

and saying double zooks are inferior to double shreks (both at 100 muni) is not correct... zooks have a faster reload, youre alot more likely to get two volleys of with one zook squad than one shrek squad (and i believe zooks have more range but im not sure about that)

deleting the ability for okw squads to ugrade in enemy terretory would be a good idea tho, doesnt make any sense they can do that in the first place

I don't like the weapon racks myself because it creates so many balance problems. I'd honestly have much rather preferred Riflemen squads have both a BAR and bazooka upgrade (that do not cancel each other out). REs would have their doctrinal flamer and rifle grenade BS. Assault Engineers could have the flamer and BAR. Etc. Officers have access to both types. Could cut out the weapon racks tech this way too, at the cost of not being able to double BAR or double zook.


IMO the elite bazooka is implemented in a thoroughly stupid way as it is and doesn't even benefit from the bazooka bulletins. I'd want to keep them extremely limited (ie rangers and support paras)

Spoiler: I'm not a pro player, and neither are you.
How often? I don't know, but it happens, occasionally.


Then why are you proposing to add all of these upgrades? Unless you want to take options AWAY from the USF, at which point It's more of a nerf than anything. I'm not sure what your angle here is, you want to take away weapon rack because you can't be bothered to go back to base (it's not like your inf ever retreats or anything) And you want to drop the side tech, even though they are a part of the entire tech structure, And have been part of the USF design from the start? If the side techs are gone, fuel cost of all base techs will have to go up.

Are you scared of having a choice or what?
