Hey guys need to ask couple of questions about this squad :
1.Wich are the stats for this squad?( weapons,slots for weapons,sight range and range of weapons)
2.Is there any other difference between the pathfinders and I&R?
3.Does the squad affected by weapons? i mean if i man a .30mm MG with pathfinders do they keep their sight as pathfinders or they become a mG teaam with MG stats?do htey keep their stats even if i give them bars or zookss?
4.I play mostly team games and no 1v1 is it better to have a mini blob of 3-4 pathfinders squad or mixed with IS(Infantry squad)?

I use Pathfinders most games. I wouldn't recommend blobbng them. There relatively expensive and their DPS isn't great on their own. I like using them together with a paratrooper squad that is upgraded for long range. I'll often get 60 kills for the combination of one each of those. Pathfinders are also really helpful around MG's or AT guns.
I often don't upgrade Pathfinders. I'm always munition starved when playing recon support and would rather have more mines or Pathfinder arty. I'd probably think differently if the upgrades made a big difference but the upgrades don't turn them into Obers. If I do upgrade them, it is usually with a single BAR.
It used to be that if you recrewed a team weapon with Pathfinders, IS with improved sight, or Panzerfusiliers that the team weapon would keep the increased sight. I'm pretty sure that was patched out for IS but not sure about the other squads.
