When looking at the German infantry counters 4-6-8, 4-6-7 and 4-4-7, I was surprised not to see some effect on firepower from the availability of the StG-44, e.g. a 5-4-7 or 5-3-7 squad. If not firepower, then maybe assault fire capability. The 4-6-7 squad in 1945, however, is no different from its counterpart in 1939. Thinking about it a little more deeply, however, it occurred to me that maybe it is there, but in a design-for-effect way. Perhaps the quality of troops was low enough that the StG-44 actually made poor squads a bit better, or maybe there just weren't enough of them to make a difference.
I'm not saying this is a problem with the game, it's just that I'd be interested to know the design thoughts behind this aspect. Can anyone throw some light on it?
(I'd also be interested to know the weaponry of 8-3-8 squads if anyone can help with that, but my guess is almost exclusively MP-40s and LMGs. And lots of grenades...)
