Fallschirms are 380 manpower. They get called in for 440 manpower, but their actual value is 380. If you reinforce them it says "47.5" right? Reinforce is usually half the entities value.

Keep in mind that the StG44 for the last one are better against cover (they do NOT ignore cover, but do not have so much reduced dmg vs it) and have better moving modifiers than the LMG34. Also added PGrens since a lot of people say they have such a low damage. At 14 range they actually deal more dmg than Obersoldaten and as you can see they almost deal as much damage as StG44 upgraded Obers.
What people also forgets is that damage dropoff is bigger for Shocks or PGs in comparison to the other 2. Squad with all the same weapon loses DPS faster than a squad with specialized weapons.
It would be at least worth the try, to see if the LMG not doing as much damage on the move or even not firing, than when he is static.
