People can't use them correctly thats why, they are the most useful units on the CW in my opinion.

They are expensive. On a starter company you'd be lucky to get 2-4 squads. Which i suppose might work for you.

I used to run a heavy commando company and attrition was high. if your smoke is off cooldown you can wreck people but you'll take losses you can't afford trying to combat volks spam or something similar. Not only that but I must have lost 30+ squads of vet 3 commando's from glider crashes or Pak's being in the back field for some reason(Pak's 1 shot a landing glider)

ye about that why are commandos soo expensive!?

It's an age old discussion, warfreak - there's a lot of threads about it.

I was too under the impression commandos are simply far too expensive to be worth it, but this kind of changed when I tried creating a post in favour of commandos getting a cost reduction.

I chose to compare commandos to their closest brethren : the StG44-armed Assault grenadier. While comparing them on a man-to-man basis, I have found that while commandos are only minorly more expensive than the StG44 troops per man - they're quite superior. They both have the same health and armour type, yet commandos have further benefits.
The sten is superior to the StG44 - having better short and medium range, which means it will start dishing out it's maximum potential damage sooner.
Commandos have smoke - which is simply invaluable in aiding the commandos' survivability.
Furthermore - Commandos glider into combat, which helps in their job of raiding enemy support weapons from behind.
Finally - the 6 men in a commando squad means their firepower dilutes slower than the firepower on StG44 squads.
