My problem with reward units...

I have a BIG issue with the reward units. The most obvious problem is that all but 1 of them aren't even rewards! The Tiger "205" is unlocked by completing the Tiger Ace campaign, which isn't difficult at all. And as far as i can tell, it's just a new skin, with no real improvements over the Tiger. So why are they even called "reward units"?

The other major problem i have with them is that they replace other units, when there's really no need to. There are plenty of button slots on the taskbar, as well as potential hotkeys, so why not have all the units available at once? (Obviously within tech tree constrictions.)

And my final, yet minor complaint is that they are all vehicles. What has relic got against infantry?

So i was wondering, are you Eastern Front guys going to change the reward units system in any way?

EDIT: Oh yeah, i forgot to mention, i can't see any way to make the A.I. use them...

These are rewards for paying money for the most stupid and worthless ToV. Kind o' like the way of saying "you didn't just flush your money into the lavatory basin". This way they must be trying to make it up for the (second) failed sequel.
That above would be no more, than just my IMO, of course.

Heh, yeah, that's probably right!
