Let's be honest - Leliks are unable (and clearly unwilling) to nerf an OP unit that is obviously OVERpowered in the current realities of the game. 6 weapon slots and the ability to fire EVERYTHING on the move with enviable accuracy is a "bit" too powerful, don't you think? On top of that - they can appear anywhere on the map where the Rifles are (at the same time the Wehrmacht, for example, needs to return to base). On top of that - they don't lose any veteran status or weapons they gained as Rifles. I.e., after accumulating several units of Rangers and spending enough ammunition (or stealing weapons from other units), we get a unit that can demolish everything in its path without taking damage, no matter what is ahead - tanks, infantry, machine guns, or all at once. And don't yell that “machine guns counter everything”. When 4 ranger squads with 6(!) weapon slots are attacking a machine gun, it has no chance. And no brumbarr will not help - they will simply demolish it without stopping at all, because, OH WONDER, these Cyborgs can shoot from a rocket launcher on the move ( leliks, would you try it yourself, eh?).


Someone is bound to clamor for Gaustatori. First - Guastatori appear on the 2nd level of doctrine (Rangers on the first), flamethrowers for them at the same price as the weapon drop for Rangers, but only Rangers can spam these boxes the whole game, because they have 6 slots + there can be both flamethrowers and bazookas with machine guns, while Guastatori - exclusively anti-personnel unit, with two weapon slots, by the way, and even without a mine detector. Then there are Stormtroopers, who are not only 4 people in a squad, but also only one machine gun for everyone, and in a 1-on-1 firefight against a fully armed Ranger squad he has no chance at all

On this basis, and that for half a year this imba has not been balanced in any way - I suggest to simply remove this unit from the game, if you do not care so much about the balance in the game and unwillingness to fix an obvious error in game design. If you can't fix it, remove it until you do.

I know there are a lot of “professional” players and “non-blobbers” from the Allies in particular, so I won't be shy - in 4x4 I have a rating of about 1200, and 100% of the time all I see is endless blobs from the Allies with either paratroopers or rangers, and no machine guns can stop this piggishness. Before you brag about your rating (elsewhere, if you have nothing else to do in life) - remember that most players are just about 1200-1400. And people come to play quietly, not to tear ass from the next blobmaster with a star-spangled flag.
