I have a big question about mainline infantry. Please explain to me, without being sarcastic, and without being an Ally or Axis fanboy, and being absolutelly realistic, why:
- 7men Cons squads are considered balanced.
- 5men IS squads, with double Bren, are considered balanced.
- 5men RM squads, with BAR or 1919, are considered balanced.
- 5men Volks, with STG or MP40, are considered balanced.
- Hypothetically 5men Gren squads are considered OP as hell and will break the entire game.
These guys have 1 thing in common that the old 5 man gren don't. That they can't deal with elite infantry.
old 5 man gren could 1v1 every type of elite infantry and win.
Long range elites, they could just push up and win.
short range elites, they could hold their ground and cut em to ribbons.
Let me give you an example, 2x bar rifles(vetted) can't deal with lmg grens(vetted) at long range at all. They can't stop Ass Gren(vetted) either because of sprint and insane ra bonuses.
5 man IS are still powerful though.
