An interesting aspect of USA tiering is the availability of three elite squads.

The Major doesn't need to be replaced if he is lost but the Lt.(Bar squad) and Captain's squad (Bazooka squad) look like cost effective must-builds. I caught the price of the Lt. and IIRC, it was 300 MP.

So in a game there will be probably be 2 less rear echelon, riflemen, or other infantry.

Elite is rather unfitting word.

They are more like utility.

I'd call the Lieut and Captain elite, the Major utility.

The major isn't really a combat unit. They are best left behind the front lines somewhere until you need on of it's abilities.

I keep forgetting to use the major for anything other than capping/harassing, I can't even remember what abilities it has.

Major is crazy good. His utility level is over 9000.

Could you imagine Soviets setting up a Forward HQ and having your Major set up a retreat point there? That'd be so good, and I'm sure those American GI's will love to meet all those Slavic girls there.

Some guesses:

M1917 Browning Heavy Machine Gun Team- Like Dish-ka? It won't be that great of a suppression tool then. US forces don't have much in the way of suppression.

M20- I just realized the early game significance of it having only a 50 cal., and not anything higher caliber.

With the Shermans are @120, according to the preview, 40 fuel more than stugs and 20 more than T-34/76s... making them less easy to pump out.

T3 or T4? teching decision is very similar to Vcoh.

Just realized...M10 is going to be cheap like Vcoh. In vcoh the Sherman was much more expensive and durable than the M10.

It's at only 7 CPs.

Why I have a feeling that when we hit release we won't see any soviet players anymore? :D

I really hope there will be changes for the soviets to make them more interesting to play with/against.

I don't think I can play a 1 v 1 without a WFA faction at the end of the month. I am thoroughly tired of Ost vs Sov.
