Time for some info:
-Assault Guards use 4 PPSH and 2 SVT
-It seems they use the Shock PPSH (Guard Troop assault package > shock troops_ppsh-41_sub_machine_gun_mp)
-They reinforce for 27, i think equally to normal Guards (330/12)
Some of you are acting like every inf unit gets useless beyond 3CP's. Lost a Conscript? Too bad, wont get another one as its pointless by now. Such flawed logic. Assault guards have reasonable performance in my experience and i used them frequently in the last couple of days. Some of you maybe should stop being a forum warrior, play the game and be open to new things.
Conscripts are cheaper, can merge into other units, hoorah and are a snare platform. Nobody will sacrifice their Guards because they are useless popcap. The point is, no one call them in for what they are, just because it comes included with the M5.
I'm pretty sure people got tired of "trying" new things like a couple of months ago. People will go for the route of less resistance. Not everyone likes handicapping themselves.
Again, it's pretty obvious why they are not meta, but that doesn't mean it's a bad commander at all.
