What's the point of the bofors if the AEC is a mobile anti-infantry platform? 90% of the time I would then take the AEC instead of the bofors. Since then I'd have guarantees that it will be useful regardless of map situation.

It only needs a range buff for it to be an enticing choice, anything more would be too much.

I laugh at the notion that AEC is anti-infantry. Even a jackson get lucky sometime and hit infantry, but that by no matter make them anti-infantry.

Unless it happened very very recently the base ones can still be decrewed. Done it a couple times in the last couple of weeks.

I fail to see how getting a free squad makes usf the only faction to be hurt by teching.

The whole reason usf has been bar none the best 1v1 faction for a long time is because the LT is essentially a free rifle squad with a free bar, which is why you never need to build more than 3 rifles. USFs insane early game is partly because of the overwhelming presence that 3 rifles, an LT, and an M20 have in less than 8 minutes.

Captain too becomes valuable, especially with buffed bazookas.

I can agree that making the officers optional would be cool, but having them essentially free now is in absolutely no way a weakness of usf teching.

These reply's remind me of another thread long ago where people were trying to argue that vehicle crews were a downside in the USF faction, as if spawning an engineer unit right next to your now neutral tank was terrible.

Ill go look for that thread.
