Because they need something to make them as cost effective as grens. also when you compare them to the 2 other cc troops you realise that other ones are better. assault grens are much cheaper have more durability and have sprint. shocks nearly have twice the durability of a pg squad not to mention smoke grenade to cover the advance.

the lack of smoke grenade , sprint and durability on top of that they are extremely expensive to reinforce makes the pg the weakest cc troops in the game. ther medium range firepower doesn't make up for that

They are NOT close combat troops any more!

I have had some great successes with them lately using them as the mid range unit. Wiping out 2 squads of Cons closing in on you - priceless.

I don't know if anyone asked or said this before but I really do hope that other armies (Germans and Soviets included) will have the ability to move the crew outside of vehicle like Americans do.

No, they should be able to enter the buildings while suppressed.

I said it myself many times. Soviets are easier to play and good for starting players. It was not always the case though.

I said this in other topic but I really think we should discuss this.

With all recent one shoot wipes potential I really do think is about time 5th man was introduced to German squads. DPS should be changed accordingly of course and everything that goes with it to make the game balanced. I am pretty sure there would be no problem with coming up with some neat formula to calculate everything.

5 men squad would solve problems with Soviet snipers (it would require for a double sniper combo to take 2 shoots before German squad would be threaten with wipe out potential, which would greatly improve 2v2 balance, leaving 1v1 intact), Soviet mines would be less lethal while retaining decent AT capabilities, All Soviet tanks would be still lethal to infantry but again one shoot squad wipe potential would be reduced. KV-8 would take this extra second to kill everyone, etc.

I really can't see the reason while it can't be done especially that in CoH German army got 5 men squads in general with latest entity coming after an upgrade if I'm not mistaken. This extra entity would increase the chance for German squad to escape to safety. Thanks to the proper tweaks to DPS profiles Infantry combat wouldn't change at all.
