Can Tommies throw flares?
Can Tommies have the longest range vehicle snare in the game?
Can Tommies sprint with Vet?
Can someone survive the first few minutes against a well played sniper using only tommies for mainline?

Can grens receive lower status out of cover?
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Pfusiliers also need a nerf. I don’t understand why they keep being thrown around like some kind of benchmark unit.

Additionally, the new HQ medic squad will have poor healing, meant to be barely adequate to occasionally heal a support squad and allow non IS-heavy builds to function, but not enough to completely substitute healing IS. I do not expect to see a huge increase in pyrotechnics upgrades.

It's not really comparable to rifle smoke
Rifle smoke even if his MG repositioned you could smoke it and follow up directly with another smoke grenade. In effect smoke spamming your way through defensive lines.
Pyro has a global cooldown so you can't use it or regular arty after that first drop. You have to be more selective.
As for vippers argument of upgrading every squad with pyro, this is a pointless strategy. Brens and grenades will always be preferable, with a single pyro mixed in for the smoke utility. Anything more is a waste due to the global cooldown.
As it stands you don't get the LoS bonus that's really beneficial until vet, and current HQ medics are buggy and don't really heal squads 100% or sometimes heal them at all. So no I disagree in your theory craft if pyro meta

Also tightrope tested the smoke, it drops 3 smoke and last quite long.
Getting IS to vet1 is super easy and part of any game.
I dont think it is fair a stock squad at vet1 has more sight than sniper unit or a scout car. Both of which needs a little more effort to vet than IS.
Looking at the healing medic, is there a need to get med upgrade on IS now? Isnt it more utility to get arty+smoke?
I wonder if you can move the base medics out of base into the battle? lolwut!

If you watched that tightrope video you would also realize how trash the HQ medics are and how they didn't even perform their own role correctly.
As for LoS, it's never going to be every "stock squad" for reasons I just typed. I mean you can waste muni on upgrading all your sections if you want, but I'll just sit here spamming StG volks and out trade you and self heal for free with vet anyway.
Simply this argument of four or five squads all with full pyro los bonus at vet1 is groundless. It doesn't make any sense to prioritize over brens or medics.

It is not trash thats why im surprised sanders said it was.
Auto AOE is not as good, but just a simple manual click that stacks with auto AOE...I think it is surprisingly deadly.
Can we move it out of base or even move it to heal your team mates in base?
Again the manual healing is FAST.

It is not theory crafting. Im just calling out what i see. And what i see clearly is medics heal FAST, faster than i was expecting.
Yes other faction retreat to base medic and let auto aoe heal.
But other faction can upgrade stock infantry with arty+smoke+super vet sight?
Thats the issue we are raising no?
Gif is at 50% framerates. Dat' stacked speed.

While I wouldn't consider myself to be a top player, but I do hotkey HQ medics and use its AOE heal ability to compensate for its lacking auto heal capabilities. I also use the unit to back cap, which is a big deal imo.

Tightrope demo the healing on our behalf.
So it needs a little micro tax BUT the manual healing is FAST
The auto aoe heal while slow, seems to stack with manual healing for ultra fast 'free' healing!

Yes, I know they currently heal too fast. That's because they haven't been tuned at all yet.

And they can also cap.
The idea of a healing squad is probable problematic just use base medic and adjust they speed as seen fit.

The gameplay advantages (for what we are trying to achieve) of the squad requiring extra micro and costing popcap are definitely worth the disadvantage of the squad being able to cap a point on rare occasions.
