"Cover to Cover" to "Fire Up"

I also wanted Fire Up in the new commander (no exhaustion and bundled with Flares). I think it's just more intuitive to use without having to worry about placing the smoke and then making sure your Rifles are in radius AND then microing multiple squads (or just making a lame sprint blob). I mean new abilities are nice but this one feels forced for the sake of new abilities.

I'd prefer my suggestion that gives rifles an upgrade which gives them a new role equipping them M1A1 carbines, molotovs/wp nades and a new ability, so that we don't have to see double bar rifles all the time, ...

but I take this over cover to cover if my suggestion is falling on deaf ears

The commander seems quite bland, everything is already in other commanders, the only "new" thing are the RE rifle nades.

So the idea is to turn riflemen to super conscripts with improved ourah/molotovs?
NO I don't think this is good idea.

Why can't we not stop recycling the same things and give the commander something new though?

Why would we add new abilities when we can make literally unused abilities viable again? Two birds in one stone.

Making "fire up" viable again, doesn't mean we have to have it in this commander, though. The commander basically recycles everything but RE nades (and molos) from other commanders. There aren't a lot of unique things in it when compared to the other commanders.

I'm all for finally making fire up usable again, I have even lobbied Andy and Miragefla about it

I get your point, but your Urban Assault Equipment suggestion has a totally different purpose than Cover to Cover and Fire Up (sprint abilities).

If anything, your idea should replace Rangers and be buffed accordingly, like lowering the RA of Riflemen when upgraded. This would make the commander feel a lot more unique already.

That's also an option. I'm just not sure the commander "needs" cover to cover or sprint. But I'd rather have it be sprint than cover to cover since that is either the most expensive source of smoke in the game or just another incentive for blob charges, both of which are undesirable.
