Royal Marines Commandos Subfaction Needs Changes

Well, i've been playing with the Commonwealth's normal faction for a long time, and, when the EF's 1.30 upgrade launched the RMC, with the title of an Assault Orientated Army, i tought, Wonderful!, but when i played with them for a few times, i didn't notice the Assault Part of the mod, probably because they still have 17pdrs, 25pdrs, bofors 40mm, all together, this makes them a very defensive faction. So, i've elaborated a few changes to the RMC faction, which i think should be at least considered as idea for further updates.

Gliders/Trucks Changes

HQ Command Truck:
Units Deployable: Royal Marine Section, Lieutenant, Marine Engineers, Captain, Bren Carrier.
Able to Build: Field Support CP, Armor Command Truck, SAS Forward Command.

Field Support CP: (Needs Lt.)
Units Deployable: 6pdr AT Gun, Staghound Armoured Car, 3" Mortar Team, Vickers MMG Team.

Armor Command Truck: (Needs Captain)
Units Deployable: Cromwell, Cromwell Comm., M10 Achilles, Comet.

SAS Forward Command: (Needs Captain)
Units Deployable: Royal Marines Section, SAS Raiders, Marine Engineers, SAS Willys MB Jeep.

Units Changes

Royal Marine Section: No Changes to this regular unit.

Marine Engineers: Now can only be called after a Lt. has emerged from HQ Comm. Truck.

Lieutenant: No Changes

Captain: Now can only be called after a Lt. has emerged from HQ Comm. Truck.

Bren Carrier: No Changes

6-Pounder AT Gun: Same as M1 57mm, but manned by the British

Staghound: No Changes

Vickers MMG Team: Same as MMG Commandos, but with less Accuracy and Less Hit Points. Also, can't deploy the Commandos Smoke

3" Mortar Team: Same as Mortar Commandos, but with less Accuracy, Less Range, and can't deploy the commandos Smoke.

Cromwell: No Changes

Cromwell Comm. Tank: No Changes

Comet: No Changes

M10 Achilles: Now Deployed from Armor Command.

SAS Raiders: Two P.I.A.T.s, Two Rifles and one Sten SMG.

SAS Willys MB Jeep: Now as a Single Jeep, armed with a Single .30 MG. (Note From Author: The Idea of Having Two Jeeps in a Single Squad gave problems with facing, and positioning them more accurately. Also, the SAS Support Jeeps were a Good idea, but only "average" against the really early vehicles, like the Kettenkrad, Schwimmwagen, and the PE's Armoured Car, so it would be good to have it as a Sniper Hunting Vehicle and as a Recce Vehicle)


Buildings/Defenses Changes

There is No More: Vickers MMG Emplacement, 17-Pounder AT Gun, 3" Mortar Pit.

25 Pounder Howitzer: Only available after the Supercharge Ability from the Royal Canadian Artillery has been researched, this means it will only be available to them. (Built by Sappers)

Bofors 40mm AA Gun: Now Haves 2x more range, but there is a Max. of 4 of them per RMC Faction. (Built by Sappers)

Casualty Clearing Station: No Changes. (Built by Sappers)

Mines: Only available to be built by the Disposal and Detection Squad (upgraded Marine Engineers)

Slit Trench: The Only Non-AA Defensive Structure of the RMC (Note From Author: At Least one def. Structure is needed...). Built by the Royal Marine Section

Sandbags: No Changes. Built by Royal Marine Section

Barbed Wire: No Changes. Built by the Royal Marine Section

I Honestly don't believe that it is ever going to be considered, but at least i could show that the Assault Orientated RMC Faction, is actually like a Defensive Commonwealth with different name.

Thanks for your consideration.
