Those are doctrinal units.
The balance philosophy for the past few years has been that nondoctrinal rosters should be able to function without commanders.
Then engineer with flame, or engineer with bren gun...
Anyways was it needed? No. They felt like Brit wasn't used anough and brought an OP unit on the nondoctrinal unit. Im I right?
The latest changes have been so random it doesnt even look like they are thinking about it. Like brining the tigers at 9cp. It's not called balancing anymore they are just shuffling cards.
The real philosophy going on is the mirroring of all the faction to make them all look alike little by little. And im not liking this.
