After the patch Sturm Pio's seem very fragile for some reason. They seem to be getting shredded early game and losing multiple figures to single tank shots.

I would argue that the old falls were better because they came in with 4 fg42's for only manpower. Now they are cheaper but require you to to unlock the schwere truck and cost you 60 muni to upgrade the weapons. If they still came in at 3 cp would everyone still be so upset? The commander was always excellent because of valiant assault and the ability to reinforce your paras with the stuka strike. Falls are pretty muni intensive with all their abilities and the stuka strike and Valiant Assault so paying 60 per unit limits their special ability use. While they did get some buffs do the un-upgraded falls outperform the older version i don't think so. Any infantry without built in anti tank are of limited use once your opponent unlocks tanks.
