Re: Size units - a question
You can view it by rationalising that scouts are travelling light, so are more maneuvrable and can take cover behind smaller obstacles, while regular infantry or paras are humping lots of equipment - some time ago I have seen a breakdown of loads carried by every man in the US Light Inf. company and it was a LOT of stuff to get on with. Now such stuff like mortar ammo and ammo for Plt MMG/GPMG is concentrated in-game in the Mortar or MMG units, but that's and abstraction - IRL for example almost every man carries one mortar shell and one 7.62mm belt. This is of course heavy so he is slower, cannot move all that quickly (not thinking of walking here, but of say dropping to the ground) and with that big pack it is harder not to be seen even when prone.
Atleast my take on it.
