Really my thoughts on each infantry squad from the Russian perspective, grinding aside:

  • Rifle: the sole benefit is that itā€™s an early squad that lets you use a sniper with a neutral color uniform and be stealthy.

  • Sniper: white uniforms are a huge downside, but snipers are great at taking down priority targets. The squad overall is very well-rounded due to the classes available to it, but the white is just so bad.

  • Assault: also fairly well-rounded with a high concentration of an overpowered class

  • Engineer: All engineers share the same resources, so itā€™s pretty pointless to have a group of them and the squad canā€™t contain much else.

  • Radio: Like engineers, not really worth using over any squad that can contain a single radioman. If you outlive the artillery cooldown it probably means you arenā€™t doing enough fighting.

  • AT: my current favorite; AT rifles arenā€™t that cumbersome in your secondary slot so what you have running around are a bunch of riflemen that can kill tanks from long range without the lengthy setup time of an engineer. Downside is the lack of a radio slot, but you can get a mortar later on.

  • Machine gun: has pretty poor mid-range capabilities as going prone will obscure your vision too badly in most cases. But if you can find a nice MG-friendly vantage point you become god. Range isnā€™t an object, if you can see it you can kill it. Your ammo capacity is very low so you need to rely on engineers and keeping your bots at a safe distance from the action to live and hand you ammo.
    -------- I have nothing below this line and will proceed to pull shit out of my ass ---------

  • Mortar (Iā€™ve used it in Normandy): the weight of the mortar seriously inhibits your ability to do anything but mortar unless you drop it. Itā€™s the sniper rifle to the machine gun that is artillery- you donā€™t cover as wide an area, but you can pick off priority targets from a safe spot if you know where they are, and keep shooting for longer.

  • Flamethrower: pure CQC, some anti-tank capacity, donā€™t set yourself on fire.
