Lol, that's not fair. You can't just ignore the existence of other units that exist in the game. Penals are performing so poorly so they're going to get looked at next patch. Should everyone just play based off of meta units? Doesn't that make gameplay dry?
Nah, that ain't an accurate depiction of my position. I ignore nothing.
Penals are in the base tech tree, you see. Besides, I deliberately avoided commenting about any other faction's useless and need-a-change/buff-to-fill-a-niche units. The comparison was strictly between a doctrinal unit which has no relevance to the meta at this time and a glaring inability to deal with certain light vehicle timings on the other.
Besides, fairness and equality are gods worshipped but are idols in true, are rejected by simple natural law reasoning, and have failed societally and institutionally.
However, it would be correct to say that good balance is an objectively favorable trait in a game.
Eventually, should the Greyhound get a rework / buff? Duh. I'd like to see it as the 222 / AEC of USF.
ALAS, resources and time are limited. Focus on making the base tech trees supremely well-rounded first, then we can worry about buffing commanders. For specific commanders shouldn't be necessary to have workable counters to anything in the base tree of another faction, otherwise undue importance is placed on them and the have-nots know it to be pay-to-win true.
