That's what the Assault Officer is for, now.
I wish he was good at it. AO is crazy expensive, his sweep doesn't even work right, and the only sprint on UKF... can't be used on its CQC unit.
Late game he picks up 2 UKF brens, so he's about half an IS in power for full cost. With his extra man, the AO is 9 population, I believe the most pop expensive infantry in the game.
30 MP reinforcement, always a treat on units that have to assault over open ground.
Also the AO uses the miserable "new_wedge_elite", the famous V formation being patched out on other units.
The AO DOES have some of the lowest RA in the game, at .7 initially with a RA of .595 at Vet 3, mildly loosing to vetted Rangers.
Suggestions:
Cut pop cost by 1-2, so its not 9 pop Vet 2. UKF already has issues fitting in necessary units due to lack of generalist units.
Make Heroic Charge able to target the AO.
Fix Recon Sweep
Replace "new_wedge_elite" with "new_standard_line".
To Try:
Fire-On-Move Brens. AO needs a late game reason to take up so much Pop, and Brens have a backwards DPS profile to the stens.
