Last time I checked, USF didn't had any manpower problems while needing 2000mp for said upgrades.
Oh stop it. "Last time I checked" the upgrade youre whining about also costs 40 fuel. And not sure why your bundling every single armory upgrade together?
Are you actually attempting to suggest that BAR tech is equivalent to the combined strength of every single DAK armory upgrade? If not than drop the exaggeration and relax.
None of this has anything to do with coastal anyway...
To add, I personally think coastal is only crazy when playing against arranged teams. Against randoms or in a 1v1 it doesnt feel that hard to deal with, but you could say that about many strats
