Yes the 0.10 for FP is correct.

If you want to have good assault and fire fight values, then yes you
will need tanks or Ogryns. However tanks and Ogryns have a short range,
so will you have a high firepower at 15cm, but much less firepower beyond
15cm.

If you take ratling instead of tanks or ogryns you trade off assault value
for inflitrate. If you take sentinels instead of tanks or ogryns you trade
off assault value for speed. In both cases you have to decide whether the
trade offs are worth it. With support weapons you gain additional firepower.

I can't answer you last question about cheaper command squads, because I
don't understand, could you re phase it please.
