From 3 v 3 + perspective, many players have a tendency of blobbing Falls almost every time. The problem is that large game modes people completely use this unit as a main line infantry.
Falls should be played like commando unit like the Brits.
Also, I do think the clumping of falls is the biggest downfall. The unit is absolutely pain in the ass for unit preservation. If we need to do 5 man squad then DPS needs to be nerfed or FG-42 needs to be an upgrade.
5 Man with A.Gren. MP-40s
Stormtrooper RA
440 MP
x5 FG-42 (Which will have similar DPS total as the current one maybe a tiny bit more) for 120 munitions
With x5 FG-42's DPS drop-off will not be that much drastical.
While 5th man and Stormtrooper RA will solve survivability issues without making it ridicilously OP.
MP-40s will prevent paradrop rapes unlike current FG-42s.
And lastly with upgrade and unit that expensive it will be punishing to spam/blob.
Seems fair imo.
