Brits
HQ Glider
Cost from 450 to 390
Forward HQ Retreat Point and Medics must now be researched for 150 manpower.
I really like the idea of making a airlanding officer a basic infantry unit, it fills the necessary gap in UKF tech tree and therefore i understand why we need to make an ajustment to a HQ Glider. BUT few things in balancing it:
1. Glider cannot cost the same as Commando Regiment Glider. Why? Becouse this one allow you also to recruit a commando squad, give healing and FRP.
2. Glider has to be more diversed compare to Commando Regiment version. If not i see even less arguments to pick Commando Regiment - commander that not long ago was revamped. Vanguard with a glider has also Crocodile and call-in strafe (so heavy tank and elite infantry and off map - combo that should be avoided). That's gonna be an autopick in 90% of games.
3. Free Commando squad has to go or need to be replace by a diffrent squad. I would say there are 2 options:
a) recon infantry section which would work like jeagers/pathfinders (already in gamefiles with scope Lee–Enfield rifle upgrade) or
b) AT commando squad so commando squad with more powerfull edition of piats
c) allow to make an buildable mortar team with commando crew. - which still brits really lack. Anyway i don't get the argument why regular commando squad should stay expect it's just easy and lazy solution.
4. Glider HQ has to be repairable to make a side upgrades (healing and FRP) worthwhile. Especially in certain situations when you can't really land a Glider without wounding it.
