[1.4.0.0] Shock Guards

[Mr. Someguy]

Than we would have an allmost exact copy of US infantry company (Rifles+Rangers) that would still need detail balancing.

Maybe I'm wrong but aren't Rangers (and airborne) basically just Riflemen with different weapons and abilities?

[Seeme]

Stats, damage, etc are different.

[Mr. Someguy]

Yeah, I know they're a bit different, but I've never noticed anything major, like Volks to Grens.

I too find the shock guards in late game slightly OP. I was in a situation the other day where i had 2 kch and a vet2 pz4 and was pounding three squads of shockers, and the all three shockers were still intact as they mowed down the kch and began to rip the pz4 apart. This is not the only instance of the shockers being a little OPthat I have found. Take four squads of shockers and pit them against four kch's and see the outcome. 

[Seeme]

Shockers would win of course. Even at Vet 3.

We can close this thread now. Guards are a substantially different unit to what they were.
