History

Riflemen are a general use term for American infantry.

Tactics & Tips

  • M1 Garand and M1 Carbine are most effective at medium and close range against Wehrmacht Kar98k rifles.
  • Riflemen are versatile units that can deal with all kinds of threats, chose your upgrade carefully.
  • Grenades are good for clearing buildings, enemies in heavy cover and against groups of enemy infantry.
  • Sticky bombs can be used to disable vehicles, they are quite effective against light vehicles but it cannot destroy tanks effectively, only slow them down.
  • Suppression fire available after BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) upgrade can suppress enemy infantry squads very quickly.
  • Use BAR suppression and grenades in combination to give enemy infantry squads a very nasty surprise.
  • Large groups of BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) rifleman squads are deadly against almost every other infantry group.
  • Always get your Riflemen to pick up dropped Panzerschrecks as it will make your Riflemen deadly anti-tank infantry. If your Riflemen squad has a Panzerschreck, throw a sticky bomb to slow down enemy tanks and destroy it with your Panzerschreck. Bazooka, PIAT, and Recoilless Rifles aren't bad, but the Panzerschreck is the best.
