Merging Sprint and Tactical Movement makes sense. The problem is that the Ambush Camo by itself is pretty soso and probably isn't worth a slot by itself (even moreso if they nerf the damage bonus as planned). I suppose they could change it so that the Ambush Bonus gives you a brief speed bonus like Commando's. This probably makes sense thematically as I assume the idea was also that the unit is sprinting out of an ambush position.
On that note I'm very confused why they are nerfing the Ambush Damage and reverting the tying Sprint to the upgrade. I get that Jaeger Infantry is super meta and they are probably trying to tone it down more but LMG Ambush Camo is far from a problem there. (Ambush Grens are an afterthought if anything). Having access to global Sprint-Fausts is WAY more of a balance issue. I was a big fan of that change and hope it gets reconsidered. The way I see it is that Ambush Camo isn't an expensive upgrade so if you want access to Sprint Fausts then it's not back breaking to pay for it via upgrade.
I already had proposed it (even in the last patch, when the issue of the "ambush faust" was the justification behind the ambush range nerf), but ambush camo should have been merged with the G43 upgrade slot (which is currently still mostly ignored in favour of lmg42), and made mutually exclusive with lmg42 and free for g43.
My idea was that if ambush to sprint and faust was such an issue having ambush and sprint be in separate commanders would have solved the issue without nerfing camo. It also would have helped G43 stay more relevant compared to the more efficient a-move lmg grens without necessarily increasing its raw game power.
I think it was a sensible suggestion, and I saw some other good suggestions too, but those threads always feel like a waste of time. They still increased the detection radius to 20, which made the ambush even better with lmg42 and worse with g43s (and still allowed sprint snare as we clearly saw in the current tournament, because 20 meters for a sprinting grens with the good faust range is nothing, especially since it's the enemy tank that comes to you)
I agree that the nerf on the bonus makes no sense whatsoever. You would think that they would incentivize using ambush camo for what is meant to do... ambush, and it's a flat nerf on ALL Gren weapons, including G43s.
I have been advocating for a buff to VSL Grens for a while, and being told that they are "OK" and that the G43 was basically similar to the StG44, but they are buffing it now.
No change to address the ridicolous bleed of Volksgrenadiers by late game, but they are not gonna fix Panzerfusiliers either, that have been used as late game braindead OP crutch to compensate for the shitty stock mainline ever since.
