Commandos do 120 DPS currently, Shocks do 80, StG Obers do 60. Commandos STEN do more damage than Ober's IR StG. In my opinion, no fresh squad should have base damage higher than a Shock Squad, yet Commandos do 50% more.
In that case, RoF from 24 to 14 = 58% DPS nerf, 58% from 120 = 70 DPS, which means that
commandos will deal 50 DPS (120-70), IF squad have all 5 models alive. And what is it? Its a joke, 500 MP squad with 50 DPS, without any bodyarmor. Not to mention that Air superiority got nerfed as well.
Say what even you want, but commander with commandos glider WILL be useless. Such weak commandos don't even close to 500 MP cost. Vanguard commander still will be good, really good, 10000% times better I say. So its a huge spit in the face of player base if you ask me. Since DLC commander now MUCH better then stock one.
Before Brits commanders were almost on the same lvl with each other and it was hard to chose between DLC and Stock commanders, all of them had something unique, useful and interesting. Now we are facing situation, when stock 2 commanders (Arty and commandos) are garbage, royal engis com is more or less fine, because of sapper church, while all 3 DLC commanders are no-brainier better chose now, even special weapons commander (or how its called) which is the weakest DLC commander is still much better then stock ones.
Even if you look at OKW and USF, you will see that even their commanders are more or less on pair with DLC ones. Only Rifle company is one of the best comms for USF, but I cant say that you HAVE to chose it, you can play with any USF stock commander and have useful abilities. I'il even say that WFA stock commanders were slightly better then DLC ones. For brits now its totally different story, where stock commanders are crap and DLC commanders are godlike.
