Armor Company is a joke. 2 abilities that utilize artillery and only 1 ability that actually has anything to do with calling in a tank. The devs just put that commander in for the nubs who want to just spam tanks with artillery. Armor Company in itself is the worst commander you can choose. Airborne is by far the most versatile.
It's stupid but they've been making stupid decisions since vCoH.
Assault engis and the artillery strike are fine.
M10 and the bulldozer can use a buff.
the thompson upgrade needs drastic changes before it can be useful.
To be honest I still go for it just for the heavy arty strike because it's the best counter to medic trucks, but the rifle+assault engineer start is one of the most powerful in the game and can even beat the assault gren start.
