Ya, the brit company worked a lot better than the rangerspam...

American officer is especially strong vs PGs because PG rifles get a ton of negative modifiers vs his heroic armor while the thompson does full damage to PG soldier armor.

Defensive officer is just a crit machine.

That I will have to test when I get back from work if the officer is somehow God-mode against PE cause of that...

American officer kills definately better with his gun. It's like a 1 man kch. He can take on a volks squad, the defensive officer gets most of his kills through the barrage. Pistol kills are the exception not the rule.
And gunning down whole ranger squads was probably the luckiest thing happening, because that would only work if he was out of range. Focussing the officer = dead officer.

Okay just did a test game with him, his SMG sucks totally.  Point blank with PE squads and he can't 'hit' or 'kill' anyone, the enemy isn't even shooting him and he can't even hurt the squad firing at point blank.  So yeah, no ability to vet or defend himself or even help in an assault, the smoke isn't all THAT great and he really doesn't add anything more offensive for his cost.  You're better off with a flamer engineer who costs less and has the same pool value and costs the same in MU, way better than the officer and a waste of a unlock.

indeed, the american officer cant kill anything like he used to be able to.

Question:

Should he be able to kill something?

Ltd's can't kill much either neither can British Cpt's except with their Offmap and picked up weapons.

Let US officer pick up a weapon then I see a balance there.

Ya that could work
