Pair this with the Minnie Commando likely to be almost as fast as an Amarr Assault, dual tanking allows for another damage mod or 2 and you'll be golden.
Not to mention unlike your Assault Friend, it'll still be able to defend itself in against infantry too, add in a Hybrid Hive for equipment and you have the potential for a fully self sufficient AV squad member. Dang, i didn't even think about the Commando. Now I really want a respec.
Fair weather Commando fans.
I've been Commandoing since July 2nd and am quite excited for this update. Since 1.7 I swapped out my laser rifle for a combat rifle, but since hearing this news I had to do quite a bit of reworking to try and replace that again with an Assault Scrambler Rifle (never noticed how much CPU these things eat), so now running ASCR and SCR.
And if/when we get our respec, I'll likely finally take Commando to prototype and then max out scrambler rifle reload proficiency. 1.25 x 1.15 = 1.4375. That is, any weapon of choice you can get to reload 43.75% faster.

It's a plane!
No, it's Super Amarr!

Dang, i didn't even think about the Commando. Now I really want a respec.  It would appear CCP took my advice and made Commando units better at AV. Now all they need is a laser and Railgun light AV option and Commando Units will be awsome. It's actually quite funny because it's clear the Commando racial bonuses were done to promote matching a races weapon with it's commando suit, yet despite the Swarm Launcher being a Caldari weapon it's the Minmatar Commando that gets the bonus. And then when the Minmatar get their light AV weapon they'll have two options while the Caldari get none.
Also can't wait for some sort of light laser AV weapon.
