I think infantry gun would be a nice addition to the game, maybe as research option for Engineer class. Infantry gun would fill the same niche as AT gun but more of anti infantry than anti tank + smoke cover with smoke shell, also most WW2 Infantry gun can also fire HEAT shell so tank would not be a problem for these gun.
Alternatively it can be given to Radio squad’s engineer and heavier AT-guns to AT-squads. Or better yet, give it to the Rifleman-squad’s engineer, thus incentivizing its use and reducing assault squads prolific use.
How is it gonna replace it? One is indirect artillery strike call by radio operator. Another is direct fire infantry gun that can be build by engineers . I see no connection between them.
YES. I really like the suggestion. I for one enjoy using the field guns that currently exist in the game but do wish they were a bit more effective against infantry. Perhaps giving this to the engineer squad and the existing AT field gun to an AT squad like how the HMG is for MG squads would be nice.
