Their design and performance creates problems both in balance and diversity. Penals, while strong, are far from the most cost-efficient infantry.

They also aren't all that versatile imho, unupgraded they totally kick infantry ass, but that's only in a vaccuum with no variables involved, they have no grenades (a snail could dodge a satchel so it doesn't count) OR they get the AT package which makes them marginally useful at shooting light vehicles and snaring, but their AI capability is basically neutered and they're only good for ambushing and making opponents think twice about vehicle diving at that point.
