Are Zookas and Riflemen Equivalent?

Short version: Zookas are better for Operations in Task Forces. Riflemen are better on PVP/NPC bases. If you choose either side (all Zookas or all Rifleman): The more damage you take, the more the Riflemen will dominate over Zookas, since they will "last" longer.

Here are some links about that topic. :)

You missed out one crucial stat according to me, Range. Range of rifleman is Medium whereas that of zooka is Long.

So if you couple this troop with Heavy, he will absorb all damage until he dies(except for defenses with blind spot like rocket launcher, mortar). So your zookas will be protected and will be dealing good damage from a safe spot behind.

So, zookas and riflemen are not equivalent,even though their damage stats are almost near(which is not that close either).
