I see. Well I like your idea of a sort of "squad leader", reminds me of DoW2 IG.
Infact, in retrospect, it would have been very cool if Cons "scaled" like IG did in DoW2, with more models, weapons and even a unit leader, but I think its too late for such a comprehensive change
However I have to point out, that there is one crucial problem with Cons spawning with even a single SVT.
It would mean Cons categorically win the first engagements (especially vs Grens, which are their closest and most benchmarked balance equivalent and the equivalence is hairline thin atm. As well as increasing efficacy significantly vs Support Teams and Pios).
I cant see them spawning with an SVT.
It would have to be a small upgrade, at cost.
But I think there is room for toying around with this idea abit, as to what weapon upgrade, if any, would be available to Cons.
(So far Ive run with Bad_Vaders PPSH varietynproposal, since he took the time to be specify costs and efficay in his proposal, so its a concrete frame of reference to work with)
Yah it would change their early game too much which I think right now is okay. Maybe offer it as upgrade after T1 or T2. Both buildings could offer different strategies/synergy
