Sgt Q. Robertson requesting Platoon Leader

Suggestions: Lower M109A6 Paladin Cost Type of Suggestion: Other Describe your Suggestion: Current cost for the Paladin is: 700 Supply 1250 Ammo 350 Fuel All for a lightly armored heavy vehicle whose only utility is med-long range howitzer support, which requires a great deal of skill both on the part of the cannoneer (if you want accurate fire, anyway) as well as a forward observer capable of providing calls for fire over the radio in a format that works. Compare this to an AH-1Z / AH-64D, which are: 500 / 500 Supply 500 / 750 Ammo 200 / 250 Fuel These are coming in at almost half the overall cost, but with the added capability of being able to function with more lethality, faster, at extended ranges, autonomous from any forward observers or controllers. My suggestion is to decrease the Paladin's cost to: 400 Supply 600 Ammo 250 Fuel Nearly halfing the cost means it becomes a competitive platform to be used by skilled practitioners and actually be able to assist in the mission before the end of the game. Another addition could be to make it not function with the vanilla Artillery Computer to prevent civilian city leveling/griefing.
