glider commandos are even more expensive because you are forced to buy an officer and retreat point before you can even purchase one squad.
Infiltration commandos come in the strongest and most picked commando doctrine so it's completely relevant, why do you think players like Jove will insta lock mobile assault commander and use a single squad yet never fork out for brens or extra squads? Because it's redicoulsly expensive compared to falls.
Upgrading brens on commomandos is just dumb, you pay a premium but you get out traded anyway by vet obers and falls as the game drags on. I don't know why people are bringing them up as proof of anything because they are way more expensive and still inferior lacking snare from camo.
And yes been racks need to be accounted for, because it's not exactly easy to afford when Tommies have just been hit with the nerfbat and 5man upgrade is basically mandatory now.
First. The commando regiment doctrine, commando glider insertion only comes with a single commando and no officer for 390 mp with a full squad. This IS a picked commander and it does not come with an officer. I am not referring to the vanguard HQ.
Second,if you want to factor in the cost of racks, we will divide the cost into a theoretical number of squads that will benefit, then add it to the cost of a commando.
So... 4 tommies, 2 royal engineers and 1 commando. 21.4mp and 2.4 fuel. So a commando is 411.4mp and 2.4 fuel on top of the cost of brens. -assuming the player does not ever have to replace any of his squads.
BTW this is as silly as saying you have to factor in the cost of an ambulance into riflemen vs volks, since volks can auto heal with vet.
