I think the only thing GLA needs is a little better balance against the US. JK should be able to "see" stealthed units, just like Burton, so as to make it a fair fight. As it is now, it is much too easy to kill JK with Burton and a pathfinder. All it takes is for Burton to spot and then have a humvee with pathfinder to snap JK from a distance... much too easy. (especially with US Special Forces since you get pathfinders from the start)
The other imbalance I see is that infantry should be able to fire from within the technical, just like a humvee. I've always not understood why guys in the back of a pick-up can't shoot their guns... if anything, this would seem more realistic than guys trying to shoot their rocket launchers out of a car window. :tard: I understand that this limitation was used to offset a technical's low cost, but couldn't they at least let like 2 guys shoot? As it is now, a technical is almost defenseless against a humvee in the early game. A humvee with 2 rocket guys can usually destroy a technical even before you are able to unload a single person. This severly limits early game rush tactics against the US as you can't really just send technicals... they at least have to be backed up by RPG on foot. (meaning your technical would have had to make two trips.)
