As far as i know, Flamer is only for pio, and hey ! you can equip bar and zook ( you can x2 ) on all your infantry ! Breaking news here
yeah, you are rigth, and this is a great advantage, but you have to pay 120, not 60 for that, and of course, you have to prepared to drop at least one of them just few minutes after that...but you are rigth, RE can be more deadly with two bars than a pio with just one flamethower, you rigth.
In my opinion, and I am just a noob without any skills to talk about balance, two bars in RE is not worth more than just one, because drops and durability of the RE models....but, as I´ve said, just my opinion that surely is wrong.
Pretty sure those racks can be used by more than just REs.
Just saying
Yeah you are rigth, I suppose is something that in the ende gets things balanced....I mean, you have to side tech, but then, you can use in more types of squads.
But again, you are rigth, racks is more of a global upgrade for the whole faction, while LMG42 only can be used by greens or flamethrowers by pios....
In the end, all what I want to share in my other post is that I´m not sure a pio with flame is worse choice than a bared RE.
But looking to both your answers, pretty sure I was wrong and benefit of racks can be compared.....
