Advantage of Russian SMG platoons

[alexhs]

In my view, after several glasses of wine, they are near useless.
Tney inspire so much hope, what with their " fire" assault badge and high assault value, but have no shooting effect whatsoever, and do no better than normal rifle infantry in assault.
So, cant shoot, no real benefit in assault and no benefit in defense,

I cannot work them out, and would rather have rifle troops any day, and lets face it, they are pretty useless too, but occasionally can score a disrupt on german infantry.

SMG troops should surely be awesome at close range, but to me, they are really a liability.

No doubt my incompetence........:conf:
