CoH: Modern Combat

Well I've recently got back into Company of Heroes, and my favorite mod for it; modern combat. And I've read up the fine pieces of literature "changelogs" and I've noticed on the unit list for the US that something's missing here. The world's premier light infantry ' US Army Rangers'. It's not because I want to be a US Army Ranger with an 11x Option 40 contract when I enlist; or the fact my father was a US Army Ranger during the Gulf war. It's because They are the premier raiding force of the US, gets anywhere in the world in under 18 hours (Usually A LOT less) dubbed Special Forces. But move in numbers and are not scared to engage in direct action.



What makes US Army Rangers badass:
- They are special forces, move in numbers and are elite on the singular level.
- Their training allows them to take high value objectives, targets, and points with precision.
- Can be inserted by Air, Land or Sea. (Usually airborne) I want to be an Airborne Ranger! I want to live a life of danger!
- Highly skilled in close combat, amphibious, land-based, airfield seizure, direct action, special reconnaissance, airborne & air assault operations,
personnel recovery.
- Their motto "Rangers lead the way" (which is true) is a epic poem of militaristic justice.
- They leave no one behind, including the already dead Rangers. Ranger Danger!
- Highly devout and 100% commitment to the fight. Surrender is not a Ranger word!
- Highly mobile and high agility/endurance.
- Can call in air support (AC-130, A-10, AH-64 Apache, et cetera).
- Can be armed to deal with light armor.
- Their advantage in every conflict they've been in has been their night vision capability, Rangers fight during the night and lead the way during day. Do you want to know where Rangers live? The night is our environment.
- Can be used as a type of Mechanized Infantry or attached to an armored brigade (From my fathers experience in the Gulf War)
- Very good counter against Chinese Special Forces
- Rangers beat the NK Special Forces (NKSPF was rated better than Chinese SPF)
- If you don't like Rangers, you hate the US, you're a terrorist, and I'll find you.

Now Here's some Badass Ranger pics, from the Baddest Special Forces out there!





RANGER THE F*** UP!

So you mean making it as a individual faction, a reward unitpack, or just a new unit?

" US Army Ranger " I'd say new unit.

Ranger won't be much different from Green Berets in game...and normal US infantry was strong enough I think.
I'd rather add ROK conscripts into US fatcion.

Well Green Berets aren't direct action, they go behind enemy lines and train a militia i.e clandestine warfare on a scale of being way behind enemy lines to cause trouble with the populace. Rangers are way behind enemy lines to blow shit up. (Delta Force recruits directly from the Rangers.)

Special Forces do direct action, although if Rangers are more suited to that role (and some quick research seems to indicate that they are) then maybe we could swap the two.
