Lol at people who cry about people crying about New units but cried over New units already themselves (*cough*New 222*cough*)

What if I told you that 222 is not new and is in game since release and we all know it and all of its stats and can predict impact of changes on it as opposed to unit that we have seen once for a couple of minutes on stream before?

Can you stop going aaa level mental with posts like this?

Regardless, real issue was identified and confirmed by devs that its there for 4 months already, it has nothing to do with balance and this thread is kind of useless now.

Call-in vs tech is irrelevant. CPs as well as tech is an indicator of units timing, not its direct strength, even if it often correlates.

I've compared units of same function, where more expensive version is simply inferior to cheaper one, where only PTRS vs PIAT is a bit of a stretch because of PTRS potential AI effectiveness.

I fully agree the units are balanced around the price, not call-in price which often includes opportunity cost, especially for "spawn on field" units.

Unless you always perfectly throw gammon bombs, commandos aren't any better or worse then any other elite SMG squad at squad wiping and they are pretty cost effective AT VET0 in relation to other units(in ranger case, we have obviously underperforming/overpriced unit if we compare them to paras who are superior in every way for the lower cost).

Again, for 350mp they are fine, but to get them you are always forced to pay additional cost of at least 150, this is a HUGE price and their surprise factor aka opportunity cost is extremely HIGH for what you get.

Their biggest and likely only shortcoming outside of tremendous opportunity cost is terrible scaling.

At vet0 they perform almost as well as vet3, they aren't any more durable, they aren't as noticeably more lethal as any other squad in game.

People jerk over their vet3 rec acc on retreat. Well, I'd rather have them have more vet accuracy/cooldown reduction or permanent rec acc vet like any other squad in game gets.

At vet3 they die like flies to other vet3 squads, commandos are unit that is FORCED to wipe squads to stay relevant late game, when vetted troops are around.

Implying that it matters anymroe when we have americans and brits fighting the OKW in stalingrad with Pershings and Jagdtigers.

I want to believe it does

Well done Kakitof you have proven you know nothing about the Japanese Army. How did they manage to almost half of China and most of South East Asia? With ships and aircraft alone?

Look up on how they took the British fortress on Singapore and you will see how pivotal Japanese infantry were...

Maybe it is you who don't know anything?

How about you educate yourself on how numerous they were, the size of the garrisons they conquested, the supply lines, WW1 equipment of these garrisons.

Japanese ground forces was almost exclusively infantry, armored support was close to non existent and insignificant. It was simply cutting off supply lines and sheer numbers.

Japanese ground forces wouldn't last a day vs any large army in Europe theater at 44-45.

We're literally talking the army who thought bringing sword to a gun fight is a great idea while being less subtle and holding lower regard for own soldiers life then soviets at their worst day.
