@vipper the other infiltration squads have other fantastic traits to make up for their lack of first strike and to mitigate the nade on cool down.
JLI have long range firepower and omg is that sniper crit handy, same with pathfinder. Also, now i COULD be wrong but dont other squads have lower rec acc (JLI, pathfinders, commandos and stormtroopers)
And finally, allied factions suffer with small squads because axis squads have been balanced to fight larger squads, things like the lmg42 tear up 4 man 1 target size units because its supposed to accel vs 6 man 1 target size units, or 5 man .9 something squads, or brits with their super duper high bleed 5 man .8 target size squads.

Partisans are underwhelming, not neccissarily bad, they function (unlike old partisans who would legit lose to weapon crews) but they are underwhelming.

I think we can all get behind supporting ambushing units to accel at ambushing, even if its at the cost of raw firepower. Theres too many things that have discrepancies in this game (hit the dirt increases range and cooldown(?) On guards but not target size, but on cons it increases target size but makes them less accurate?)
If units are going to get a bonus for attacking from camo all them should simply for the sake of keeping things straight.
Stupid things like all recon revealing camod units except ost's is just confusing for any potential new players

@firesparks
the reason i dont think the JP4 shuld be included in the reduction is mostly because while i think its a good unit, its somewhat under used, even with its small target size and high armour its underwhelming against allied TDs (which should be ITS role imo)

the reason i included the su85 despite them both being casemate is three-fold
firstly, its raw stats. holy hell does that thing eat armour, and so it should, its an end game TD with no turret, but it completly invalidates any armour in the area because of the combination of pen and accuracy when it should be targeted against heavy armour
second, its vet. pre buff i advocated for either more pen or better vet, in typical relic fashion it got both, and the boy did it get buffs. 30% more accuracy AND pen on already potent numbers is an over buff...
third, the existance of the su76 means the su85 doesnt need to be geared towards every vehcle the enemy can field. if the enemy is building mediums or lights the su76 should be the go to, the 85 should be for fighting things like panthers and tigers

ideally imo the su85 should be more like the FF, but with slightly less accuracy. 200 damage per shot, same overall DPS (so rof adjusted) maybe change out its vet 1 to something like usf "take aim" with a mobility debuff, nerf vet 2 to 15%, swap with vet 3 (mobility, then pen and accuracy)

but i disagree that the su85 was fine before, it was a crapshoot vs heavy armour and blatantly OP mediums with a stupid high RoF (if RNG said so it could kill a medium in 8 seconds and not much longer for a heavy... or it could miss, or not pen frequently as well. not something thats good for a final stage TD, it also made the squishier su76 redundant because the su85 was better in every possible way but price.

if the su85 goes back to its old state i would insist upon deflection damage so its doing SOMETHING at least when it hits

idk. i welcome a chance to change my mind, but thats pretty well what i think atm

i would rather an ambush buff like commandos would be ideal imo. less cheesy no reaction shit but more rewards for proper usage...

Some more variance in target size could be nice for fine tuning.

Some TDs need a pen reduction. No arguing that. But should that happen they NEED defelction damage. You cant make a unit whos sole purpose is to damage tanks be a complete dice roll on if it damages them or not. Imagine a sniper with a 50% chance to miss. Fuckin useless.
