Limiting Tommies from picking up Brens requires other types of changes to compensate for the complete lack of utility. Those changes have been deemed out-of-scope. So, not yet.
aha.
So the reason why grenadier doesnt have 2 x lmg42 is that wehrmacht also has panzergren? rly?
I see the pros and contras of this double lmg/BAR thing...
yes, they kinda need it to deal with vet 5 squads and obers etc..
The problem is, a double lmg/BAR troup is as strong or even stronger than an obersoldaten squad. With bigger squads and lower mp cost. The only thing is the expensive ammmunition cost, but tbh: USF isnt dependant on ammo if the player is focusing on lmg (cheese), same for UKF kinda.
As soon as allies got indirect fire to stomp hmg, double LMG/BAR squads are unstoppable with inf, and thats stupid.
Just a crazy idea: When tommie squads are limited to 1 bren, how about giving them this sexy smoke nade from commandos?
The one which gives them light cover but doesnt act as sightblocker. Would be awesome to see this! Players using the smoke for light cover in order to compensate the bren nerf (with cover bonus from tommie squad)
