do the brits have a mortar pit? I've seen a heavy mortar like the 120mm Soviet one

US have mortar pits, but it's a regular mortar put inside separated built pit.

So the theory is that Riflemen are ok in 1vs1 but total crap in 4vs4 so people have to resort to Pathfinders if they want to win correct?

If your "want to win" implies that its un-winnable otherwise, no. If your "want to win" means playing the game without shooting yourself in the knee, yes.

Yet Pathfinders commander seem to be far more popular in 1vs1 than in 3v3 and 4v4 and USF seem to have some of the best win rates in 3vs3.

You can litteraly find pro-player streaming those gamemodes to see how they they play USF. In 1v1 airborn is picked solely because it allows you to ignore USF tech and get AT gun+MG, no-one spams paths in 1v1 and no-one use airborn in 1v1 because of them.

Speaking off, it even if we forget about pathfinders and imagine that every one plays infantry company. Again it completely changes how rifles are played, because of the LMG. So even if Airborn wasn't even picked, people in teamgames are just avoiding stock rifles gameplay to begin with.

That does not seem to be inline with that theory...

I mean if you want to look at facts objectively and not just push your narrative for the sake on continuous argument, they are actually completely in line.

I've yet to see any attempt to prove why rifles arent sucking balls in teamgames, besides "well win rates", despite people giving clear explanation and reasoning why rifles design isn't working in teamgames.

Eh ... nothing really changed since alpha in terms of how tiers work. Imo, luftwaffe companie looks super weak in comparison to panzergrenadier companie. Same problem with USF in CoH2 happening again, where one tier is just superior to the other.

Luft gives you AI squad, AI+soft AT team weapon, glass cannon soft AI/AT scout car, dedicated AI tank without alpha-strike damage, dedicated AT tank.

While PG companie gives you proper AI squad, proper AT gun, indirect unit, forward reinforcement unit (which in alpha could have been upgraded into indirect unit), proper indirect unit weapon + AT tank.

I mean its cool, that you basically can go either double or full 1 tier, but it seems like one will be picked almost exclusively over the other, unless they are equally useful.

I remember during Alpha there was almost no reason to go for luft.

For that kind of power, 60muni is an easy pay. There should always be a payoff - maybe reduce the rate of fire, lose sprint, may not plant bombs anymore are a few ideas.

There is already a pay-off. Jaegers, unlike other squads, do less damage to the unit the closer they are to them.

Balance on the release was special, but I mean, a lot of the stuff was patched out pretty quickly by relic.

I guess, if you want to play truly "old fashion" game, you could try looking for a patch right before WFA release.

Game was pretty balanced, with some rough edges (like double soviet sniper) and required just a little bit more fixes, but WFA messed it up.
