Overall I think they feel better. You need to treat them with kid gloves and get them in cover, but they no longer need to hug the enemy to do damage, so you can more easily use them in a support role alongside Maxims or vehicles. Once vet 3 they are actually half decent now, doing respectable damage for their cost. You still need doctrinal infantry to do the heavy lifting, but they are a bit less dead weight late game.
Which means using Cons and heavily investing in them with Both Molos, AT nades, and PPSH still makes them bleeding drains. And one must STILL pick a doctrine with heavy infantry invalidating alot of doctrines without that I think are fun to use.
The last thing Scripts needed was to be able to die faster then they already did against OKW. As it stood keeping them reinforced was a bleed.
Instead of being infantry that are supported by snipers or Maxims. They are simply support for Snipers or Maxims. They arent and have not been since WFA anything more then a support squad.
I am sick to death of HAVING to use STs or Guards or support team spams (snipers/Maxims) to have any relevance in competitive play.
Please for the love of tripe stop the madness. Make Scripts relevant as infantry. Not a hinderance.
