Riflespam-how heavy?

It's recently occured to me that this isn't vCoH. In vCoH, IIRC, there was a rule that 4 rifles was a heavy drain, 5 rifles was rarely worth it, and never go for 6 because of upkeep. Is this the same in CoH 2? I know the "rule" is 3 rifle---> LT or 4 rifle ---> CPT but is this really true? And how many rifles should I build once the officers are out?
I bought vCoH on January 3rd, 2007.
Still missing the days of vCoH 1.71. It had it's issues, like paks sniping 57s, and the strafe didn't work, but overall, it was probably the most balanced time in CoH history.
OF ruined that. CoH 2 is....balanced in a nasty way. Everyone has an equal stockpile of gamebreaking bullshit. USA is full of early game BS while the OKW doesn't get its BS until late game. It's just a question of how badly you exploit the faction's shit and how quickly, after a patch, you discover the gaping holes of bullshit Relic leaves. But either way, it's all BS. The only "BS" in vCoH that was gamechanging was the fast m8 vs a bunker.

you can spam rifles as hard as you want honestly. On Stalingrad for example you could probably justify 8 or 9 rifle squads. Especially if you went rifle company.

Might be why I've been losing. I've been rigidly sticking to not exceeding 4 rifles. I'll try that. How about on more open maps?

On more open maps you can do whatever you want because you lost on the loading screen

I don't see it. On more open maps there's less chokepoints so it's easier to flank, in principle, and get close. On closed maps, a single mg can hold off an entire lane.

Well on open maps MG42 and MG34s pwn you. I think LT., Airborne ATG drop and M8 plus some zookas might help.
