Recon support will be used way way less now that the greyhound anti vehicle is nerfed and the 222 buffed. It was literally the best doctrine with every ability being fantastic; it's about normal now.
The biggest problem with this game is the low player numbers. So much would be improved by getting more souls into automatch and ranking. It's a bit sad that i'm considered top 30 lol. It would do much better with some more competition entering the scene.
I'm all onboard with F2P as long as Relic can moderate it, but I doubt they will go that far. If I had to bet I'd say they are going to release the vanilla factions for free so they can still make dlc money.
those elite troops uses a different weapon file for their upgrade. Paratrooper m1919a6 is not the same m191916 the rifleman pick u. (although the actual difference is just the fire on move capability, otherwise they are clone of each other)
It still works if they pick up other dropped lmgs. Commandos will fire the ober lmg34 on the move, normal troops will not.
