But once bolster comes in, IS is pretty good value no?
In past without medics, there is opportunity cost to pay for great sight. With the buff, i think sight needs tone down.
Infantry Sections are more expensive to build, need Bolster and Weapon Racks side-techs (and grenade side-tech), need weapon upgrades
and on top of that they need another specialization upgrade that is either healing or pyrotechnics to get the full use out of them. So no, there is nothing cost efficient about them.
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.
The unvet 222 has lesser sight no? I mean if you put sight on UC or AEC, ok. But stock infantry, that's a bit of a tough one.
No it doesn't. Unvetted Infantry Sections with the Pyro upgrade have 42 sight. An unvetted 222 has 50 sight. The AEC already has 50 sight range too.
