im pretty sure he meant 60 to get the AEC including the research, currently the research is 15fu and the unit is 50. So I think they mean they're reducing the overall research to 60 fuel from 65.
they said it'll come out at the same time as the 222, the manpower cost of the AEC isnt even much.
Advanced Cover costs 75 muni and lasts 30 seconds. So useless then. Slightly better than Assault but even that's debatable because Assault gives you recon.
Edit: AEC got cheaper so I don't know why OP is giving false info.
It's still a crutch for UKF so I still don't like what they're doing with UKF.
The 222 has had a massive buff, think it's got more than 300 HP now.
Which leaves.... Maybe harsh language or... Buying the two new commanders I guess.
watching it now, don't know why they're buffing the 222, it had a specific role and it did it well. If anything i'd just let it not get dumpstered by small arms but it's super cheap and fast
UC not costing fuel is great and all but even when I bought it, I only ever used it to abuse the designate command vehicle recon sweep, it's no kubelwagon.
However I guess now you can use it after you tech up for a wasp platform for building clearing? But unless they give it more durability it's just gonna get schrecked or hit by a stray AT gun.
If they're making the AEC worse than it was before then they better give IS handheld nukes or something or UKF is going to be even worse
Well i did my own tests in green cover, remember that buildings would be a totally differen't thing. (a nightmare to clear)
It all comes down to rng and positioning, but spios get punished enough for green cover assault. You also need to take in account that those sturms always end up with so little health that they have to also retreat, so its a loss for okw or a tie, never a win. Sturm models are also the most expensive of these squads.
That isn't point blank, also you do realize that cover is negated at close range anyway so putting up the ghost sandbags is pointless.
