It's called "Italian Combined Arms", I know, but when you get down to brass tacks, it really seems like using this BG for combined arms tactics is actually kind of a letdown.
Ok so, theoretically, "Italian Combined Arms" means literally that, you are playing combined arms with Italian units, because Bersags actually don't have any combined arms bonus, it's like a reverse combined arms bonus where the Carro Armato benefits from nearby *Italian* units. The Semovente, on the other hand, doesn't even benefit from being near Italian infantry.
Ok, so, you think: "I want to take advantage of this bonus and I will build some bersaglieri". Joke's on you, bersas actually suck at supporting tanks. They sprint, they throw nades, and they're fast outside of combat. Do they repair? No. Do they have AT grenades? Nah. Do they benefit from being near tanks? Only if you're okay with gimping the squad's fighting capabilities.
And all this for a measly, piddly, +5% reload speed bonus on the Armato for every Italian unit standing near the tank.
Really?
And on top of that, bersas only get one Breda now, so if you want to boost their effectiveness around tanks, you have to double nerf them and give up on the extra squad member too.
This BG is just not made for 4v4 and it's sad. I'm sure that in 1v1 this allows for a really fast and loose playstyle, sliding along the battlefield on the seat of your pants, with 5 man bersas taking points quick alongside tanks, smothering the opponent Soviet style, but for 4v4, this isn't an Italian Combined Arms doctrine at all. It's just Bersaglieri doctrine.
And if you're about to write "just play with panzergrens instead", then believe me I've done that. It's okay. Really it's mediocre. If you don't build Bersas then there's really no incentive to build the Carro at all. It's 50 goddamn fuel and the Stuart can bounce it. It's nothing to write home about.
Very sad doctrine. Hopefully it makes more sense in small gamemodes.
