25 pop at the start:
Engineers: 3 pop squads = 8 squads = 16 mines
Pios: 2 pop squads = 12 squads = 12 mines.
4 less than engineers. Now if we give them 2 mines each.
12 x 2 mines each = 24 mines in total. 8 more mines than engineers.
So you are very wrong, the POP argument is pretty legitimate mate.
Also, mines are seen in all game modes. so that isn't a legitimate reason either
Sure the pop argument may have some merit, But the sheer fact that i pay twice the manpower for my mines i believe is something that needs to be looked at too.
