For me the issue is still tanks. Not only are you now not allowed to just take one (making the problem worse) but if you want to effectively counter enemy tanks you have to either take your own tanks (again more tanks less good) or take an entire platoon just to get anti tank guns.

I was excited, I was looking at the Recon Platoon in the carriers and the engineer platoon and thinking how cool this was. Then I was reminded that basically if your enemy has tanks you’re limited to either tanks yourself or AT Platoon.

I get people buy the big shiny vroom vroom tanks but they don’t really belong in a game like this. Oh cool you’ve got a firebase, oh wow now two or three, sitting there that I can’t even hope to scratch because I took a Recon Platoon instead of being forced into AT or Tanks.

Nothing makes a game less fun to me than not being able to stop the enemy. I hate games where my enemy can kill half my stuff in turn one before I even move and I hate games where my enemy can take units that I cannot engage with.
