Now I want you all to know that this is my opinion.

Okay, so, I've been thinking about it. And the more it comes to me that Commandos are off balancing AI/AV as they can do both easily (especially the Minmatar Commando). Now, yes, in some games like Battlefield, you can have your primary with an AV weapon but comparing the TTK of a Commando with that of a Battlefield soldier, well, it can take somewhat of a wallop if well fitted.

Now, I'm saying this because back before all Commandos were added, the only AV players were the true ones that specialized in it. Now? Get a Minmatar Commando, some Swarms and fire away. Infantry isn't a problem either because you can gun them down with the Combat Rifle easily. A tank gets too close? Whip out the swarms.

Now, all I am saying is that Commandos, in my point of view, are unbalancing AI/AV. Therefore an unnecesary addition to the game. Fun. But unnecesary.

Now, I do use Commandos myself, infact, the Minmatar Commando was the first suit I specced into when 1.8 came because I kmew what it would become (sadly Scout 514 overshadowed it as with every other suit in the game) and to be honest with all of you guys, AV vs V will never achieve true balance as long as Commandos exist (or they still receive weapon damage bonus) mix that with the Warbarge damage bonus and vehicles will have nowhere to go.

Commandos were a fun idea but an unnecesary one.

Excuse my grammar.

Supply depots are probably the real culprit, since running to an SD, grabbing your dual swarms, spamming them, then switching back is a totally acceptable and typically playstyle for most AV players.

And that's your choice. People who actually like to clear vehicles tend to run dual swarms and either stick with squads or abuse supply depots.
