I'm not. I'm asking for Volks to stand up to single BARs. One BAR still does more DPS than both StGs combined at most ranges. Combine that with better RA(?) for Riflemen models and the balance of engagements is in favor of the Rifles. Sure, weapon racks do take a while to come out but the powerspike associated with them is insane. Double BARS just makes Volks obsolete except for their Panzerfaust. I actually don't have much gripe with Brens because StGs outdps them at close range, which is good design.
Well, as was said, double bar rifles are supposed to be a thrifty alternative to elite infantry, which is fine, but the accessibility of double bar is not. Single bar rifles should beat stg volks more or less simply due to costs at play and because for some ungodly reason this is the age of good at all ranges upgrades which means the more expensive wins vs wins in certain scenarios.
If volks had mp40s then it could be possible for them to beat rifles up close as they trade long range dps but as long as both units are carrying similar costed no drawback weapons then the higher investment has it every time.
Counterplay and relative positioning are unfortunately a design of old now lost.
