When it comes down to it, 45 x the price for 2x the capacity of a standard soldier is just not even, for a benefit like that, you would want to hope that for that kind of price that they would be brilliant. I can see quite a few players low down in the ranks saving to buy one, and then being disappointed with it. And this is a game, so people are aiming to have fun, not get frustrated...
A better equation wouldv'e been 5x the cost for twice the capability.
But it will be interesting to see what happens with them down the track

u do benefit let me say it like this round of the best weapon to about
170k and a super soldier to about 90k
now to match a supersoldier with the best weapon u would need 2 of normal assualts with the best weapon which is about 340k adding the cost of the units
now the supersoldier cost would be only 260k about saving 120k and doing same amount of damage.....

i am glad people figured out the value
but if the 45x upsets people, i can easly up the cost of a regular trained unit by 10x (to 20,000) so that the difference is under 5x .....
that is the only way the balancing will go.... else weapons will cost > 1Mil... and i do not want that!

Don't make me use this!!!

Actually, Crisp, that was mentioned by Major S Carter and firebrand, but ryans not listening to them.
@ryan and other haters of this update: The costs are just fine. It is very much worth training super soldiers. Do the math and stop talking about 2x this and 45x that. That is not the correct way to look at this update.
