HI guys,
just tested the changes in 7.0 and i REALLY have to say... the recon 251 is AWESOME!
The unit has exactly what the bunker did not have: GREAT SYNERGY with the other abilities and the theme of the commander.
251 have great synergy with assgrens / grens which can be transported and reinforecd by the 251. If you need the flare on a specific position you can move the unit and use it there.
Recon 250 would be a great replacement for "Spec ops flares", 251 could be available in the battlegroup hq.
Sidenote:
TigerAce is now tied to tech (Heavy Panzer Corps) which is consistent with the changes to OKW Tiger I. I support these changes but you should also include it in the patch notes!
