No it doesn't, you just made that up. 300 mp squads with a single shrek aren't a choice to make that has 0 downsides like you imply.
Plus isn't that exactly the same as REs with bazookas and sweepers and Royal Engies with Piats and sweepers?
Shrek >Zook. Sturms are very potent when they start, going from very potent AI into decent AT with the ability to clear mines when they are less good at AI is bad design. It removed the risk of double Sturm opens. It's like penal. Use them till the enemy starts with armour then you have AT. The main damage is done and you still stall out their counter. It's bad design. Right now there is a choice. Do you want to supplement your AT or clear mines? Anything that removes choice Remo es depth and that is bad design.
