i havent had the chance to play a game with the new rep squads, but from what i can see in the launcher i assume that they have the same amount of bodies in the unit as their factions pioneer/engi squad.
is that correct and if so, intentional?

It's intentional. They are all mirrored for functionality whilst we are working out the kinks with them.
They'll become more individual as time passes.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

 I feel like if Smokaz and Shab met up it would be a 50/50 tossup to see which one of them robbed the other first.
Tries to convince people he's a good guy,says things like this. Scumbag Shab.

doesnt this make the british rep squads way more surviveable then all the others, especially the wehrmacht ones? |

The repair squads are all statistically identical. |

ok, i think i misinterpreted your previous statement. however it still shows different pop for the rep squads in the launcher (Wehr/Pe: 2, US: 3, Brits: 4) is that only a lauchner thing or is there an actual difference ingame? |

Do they have guns, and can they crew heavy weapons? 200 MP + 60 MU per minute also seems quite high just to get vehicle repairs, but I'm guessing that was intentional.

They have pistols and can crew heavy weapons, but you lose the squad in the process.
Pricing is still be worked on, but realise that external repairs can be extremely powerful for any well-micro'd vehicle as it can be kept in field for a very long time under the right circumstances.

Keep in mind the strategies that can be built around this mechanic ( pardon the pun )
If you are being raped by heavies that just keep repairing - avoid the heavy and destroy his repair units. If he has many repair units he will have burned up many resources on them.
I personally think repairs on heavies need to be much higher than 60mu.

Just tested with Dire, no SCAR was had.
Whatever error/crash you had, it wasn't a SCAR, and the unit is working fine.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.
