Commanders aren't just numbers, the chassis are visually different and they can access different weapons and such. They also sort of work as an avatar for the player, a "hero" unit, which is attractive for many. Flavor matters. The weapons themselves also have physics/mechanics differences other than range and dps numbers.

I like the changes somewhat. Much better than a focused nerf to range mods only. Despite the lower range cap, there's an attempt to make the chassis stand out in different ways.

Imo
it'll
still
suck.
I
vaguely
remember
it
having
200
dps
and
300
range
and
being
barely
usable
back
in
the
day,
even
when
the
high
caliber
barrel
was
a
thing
(
which
doubled
the
burst,
increased
reload
and
gave
it
+33%
dps
on
paper)
.
Shotgun
not
only
overkills
small
targets,
it
also
wastes
dps
on
then
due
to
the
spread
and
low
aoe.

2% of total speed may still be too much, how about 1% or no penalty. People will likely go for range nearly every time.

Is there any special reason why range has to have the same limit as the other modules? you could reduce the cap to 4 and increase the base ranges of the various weapons. Going from 330 range for the basic beamlaser to a 270 range weapon, even if the dps goes up 50%, seems like a step back as the commander is even kited by relatively cheap riots which outspeed it.

Max dmg concussion shell may have a niche in pushing crabs out of spikes, other than that, the impulse is barely felt for most ground units that are tough enough to not be 1 shot by it. It'll still suck relative cluster bomb (sacrifices 25% range but has like 3-4x burst damage).

HDP buff may allow the recon chassis to "dodge" its weakness a bit too easily.

- buff heatray range and dps by 10%. I think it had 350 range at some point and a module which further increased its range by like 20-30% when the levels were capped to 6, was still barely used then.
