Default Re: Jaegerkompanie added...

On unit classes:

We'll run out of infantry unit classes if I continue establishing specialized units all the time - and as the main deal is to have reduced exp and/or morale, but weapons remain the same, it will do to use the normal Jaeger squads wherever possible. The problems arise with the specialized forces, using M1 carbine and MP-40 (until when? 1979 would make sense - StG77 introduction...) - if I use the same class for them as well, then the players will end up having mabe 15 different Jaeger squads to choose from, including those Jagdkampf units that should not be part of regular formations... and if you buy a company, you'll have to look at the platoons first and then remember to choose the correct one... quite annoying, so I'll try to avoid that an probably have to re-organize a lot.

Same is true for the platoon command squad (and the company commander)- Siddhi said a compromise would be to give it a sniper rifle(or maybe some F/C and/or vision rating), but I managed to free up space in the Jaeger platoons to keep both snipers independent - this, however, renders this 6-man squad very vulnerable - well, maybe a good thing, as it should not be used in close combat anyway.
