Easy 8 is still 145 fuel and 400 manpower
Yes, I was a bit unclear listing that. The "base" vehicle value got changed, but the dispatch cost for the call-in is still the same as before. Net effect: nothing (at most it'll change the exp you receive for damaging it by a couple of points, forgetting how the system calculated that), as you can't build EZ8. The only way to "see" the change right now is to play a teamgame, and give a mechanized teammate an ez8 to refund. It's likely a change made purely for singleplayer balancing.
Armor value change will however affect the commander, so effectively it was a plain nerf for the Rifle Company version.
