Killing 3 out of 4 guys in one hit is often good enough to wipe the squad, the last guy will go down very quickly when focus fired especially if he was already wounded.

I just tested out the ISG and pack howie in several games. My conclusion is they are pretty much the same given some small differences. (ISG-longer range, a bit more accurate: Pack howie- better AOE and damage)

I haven't pulled any numbers yet from the files to compare, but I will try to do that later. Of course my assessment was from what I saw and how I felt, so I do not have any hard evidence to back my conclusions.(If you have any numbers to disprove me please do)

Overall, saying one needs a nerf and the other is fine is a little silly. Maybe some slight tweaks but no outright nerf hammers.

Giving Strums more of a specialist utility role of garrison clearer + emplacement counter makes design sense too since other factions Engineers are their source of flame counters with flamethrowers. (Wasp aside)
