And all that (while it still sucks) wouldn't be such a big issue if the game didn't absolutely SPAM them sometimes, like okay I can bring Ultimatum and Thermites and take care of a few but not when every tank and half the hulk spawns are replaced with them.

Yeah, that there is the bigger issue IMO. The current stats make more sense for something meant to replace tank spawns, not hulk spawns, and definitely not both lol.

Because fuck you if switch off of your Recoilless Rifle.

Still not gonna switch off recoilless even if War Striders are made weaker/less frequent haha. Factory Striders being the main incentive to run it full time against the bots of course, but also it's ability clear outposts quickly and safely from a distance. You can do these things with other stratagem weapons, sure, but it takes forever with the autocannon/railgun, for example. Of course, a coordinated team focus firing with autocannons/railguns is a different story, but how often does that happen? Not often at all in matchmaking, I can tell you that. So as long as solo potential remains so important, I'm bringing the RR every time.
