RE: Carrier Rifle Sections
Okay, so maybe it's not as useless as I initially thought. In fact, I just played a scenario against the AI where I used the rifle sections (loaded in their carriers) to surround and capture several disrupted enemy rifle platoons, as well as to destroy several enemy artillery positions behind enemy lines, once again in their carriers.
What I don't understand is why this unit is so underpowered. Sure, it is only 9 men, compared to a full strength rifle platoon which contains 30 to 60 soldiers, but shouldn't they make for it with their heavy firepower? Also, why do they have less defense than a standard rifle platoon? You'd think that they would present a smaller target to the enemy, since a full strength section is only 9 soldiers.
