What he said.
IMO, the thing that makes Penals so bullshit is the fact that they can upgrade flamers without losing their long-range DPS. Basically, that's Rifle Company v2.0.
I had pointed out this issue from the time it was only in the mod (along with US mortar issue...), only to end up with a long debate about how Penal would be fine...
Infantry units should not dominate at all ranges.
Relic should simply readopt the weapon profiles and avoid mixing weapon that do not work together.
It is actually refreshing seeing people that did not agree changing their mind (not referring o anyone particular)...
