Pathfinder

"'High-Tech operatives, trained to assasinate enemy infantry from long range' - in-game description"Pathfinders were the Allied advanced anti-infantry units during Entropy events.

Background
"'Is zere a point to your lives?' - Pathfinder" Due to increasing threat of attack from the Soviet Union, many Allied countries began training military personnel in advance.

Germany, being one of the most efficient economies of the Alliance, could afford the best military training and equipment for their personnel. Hovewer, the results of their military research were kept secret until the very last moment. Operatives, known as Pathfinders, took a special place in Allied forces.

While peacekeepers performed the function of maintaining order and suppressing revolts all over Allied Nations, they received most of the attention and honors. In their shadows, few noticed the contribution of black ops operatives, who did all the dirty work for Allithe ed govermentn.

Assessment
Pros: Cons:
 * Kills every basic infantry with one attack
 * The longest attack range of all infantry except Natasha
 * Deadly against commandos (especially Tanya and Yuriko)
 * Excellent for clearing the battlefield of terror drones
 * Perfect for hit-n-run tactics due to their ability
 * When garrisoned, becomes extremely deadly against the soldiers passing by. Prevents Conscripts from using their Molotovs to clear the building
 * Wins against mighty Tesla Trooper in toe to toe fight
 * Tier 2
 * Without proper support or micro, loses even to small groups of infantry due to slow rate of fire
 * Cannot swim
 * Hardly gets promoted
 * Somewhat expensive (750$)
 * Fragile in close combat
 * Defenceless against any vehicles or base defences
 * Still requires numerical superiority to deal with Natasha
 * Unpromoted, still needs two shots to kill Tesla Trooper, Commissar, and Shinobi
 * Very vulnerable to Shinobis under effect of their ability

Trivia

 * The weapon Pathfinder uses is a futuristic marksman version of G-36, which is one of the most commonly used assault rifles in German Bundeswehr.
 * Pathfinder's appearance (tactical gear worn over civilian clothes) is a collective image of many western countries special forces operators. Particularly, this is a reference to German GSG-9 operators, which are known for being called for duty at any time.
