Yeah... it wasn't an argument about performance. I was just talking about how fast they fire their rifles. For flavor's sake, at least, I feel like it doesn't make much sense that the difference between paratroopers and panzergrenadiers is 6 rounds per minute at spitting range lol. Surely there's a way to decrease rounds per minute and increase accuracy, ending up with the same DPS. But whatever.
Makes perfect sense really.
Rifles need to be aimed, you don't just mash trigger because gun allows you to.
Carbines and garands aren't really all that different in CoH games.
