The Quad is not a reinforcement platform either, it has not been for several year. But one would probably have to load the game to notice.
The USF M5 is quite different from the Soviet one since the crew can disembark, is doctrinal, does not come with assault guards and has different vet bonuses.
This thread is about Spring update from a design point of view pls stop trying to derail it.
M3 medkits are part of it.
You questioned their existence in the first place.
I have pointed you out that all reinforcement HTs are unique and have diverse roles, M3 and ist medkits included.
You even brought the issue of soviets being able to heal on field thanks to that.
Well, guess what, they always could thanks to USF ambulance, tommies with medkits or their own FHQ.
Everything is on Topic, as much as you do not like it.
If there is an issue with design choices, ist the ever present murdering of asymmetry for the sake of Balance, where we do end up with more balanced game, but factions becoming more bland and same patch to patch.
