Because in order to make t1 worth it you need to build more than 1 fucking penal squad. If you're giving up AT guns, MGs and mortars, then you're gonna need to justify that. Otherwise you would just get cons and get t2 when it suits you
Sure. But it's not at all similar to the situation pgrens are in
As I said I have clearly explain my point of view and have little to add.
Blaming a single unit out of the 3 available to the building make little sense.
In the end of the day I am not sure what you are suggesting.
Allow me to remind you that for 6 month Penal had flamers and where worth building and giving up AT/MG/Mortar for them.
The result was ugly and utterly broken.
Are you actually suggesting that they should get their flamer back so that they worth building and having a weapons upgrade?
Or do you want them to get a schrek and be even worse the VGs blobs?
