Are we really having the "cons good, utility too good for them not to suck" discussion again?
Can I choose to have utility of free nades and weapon upgrades instead of merge and sprint?
And saying merge is free is wrong.
Using merge costs 20mp per men transferred.
You are also not sustaining your presence, because you have exactly as many models as you had before using merge on the field.
you forget the partially downgrading elite troops part
