Exactly my point from ages ago. A balanced detat can dish out a lot of
punishement without being especially vulnerable to anything, and is a lot
more interesting to play.

I've played all LR detats of 9-11 LR's, and while they can dish out a lot of
punishement, they are absurdly vulnerable to CC. However, my 5-7 LR detats
with tac and predators almost never get broken by anything except
overwhelming points or an unlucky CC die roll (gettting us to the other
thread: the E40K CC system sucks. Even when I win, it sucks)
