Again though, where are the numbers to back up that statement? Every time I've seen this argument made within the last few months, it was never supported by numbers.
You are absolutely right. I haven't crunched the numbers on this so this is more or less solely based on my own subjective impression which might very well be fallible.
I wouln't say that this is based on any sort of bias towards USF or allies as some people seem to imply, because I pretty much play all factions at a similar rate and with a similar ranking (or lack thereof
)
Having said that I still think it makes sense to look at units in other way than sheer DPS and also in terms of utility (availability of grenades, snares, weapon upgrades, building structures etc.)
