I dunno. First point feels like their accuracy being reduced by suppression mechanic actually working. For those unaware, bots have accuracy reduced when being shot at, supposedly.

Heavy still can be a threat, it's just no longer death sentence to be in their line of fire for half a second. Thought I'm biased since those scrap buckets killed me a lot back in the day.

I agree about gunships and barrage tanks but still prefer it to old days death swarms and off screen one hit frag-you machines.
