So they got quite over powered in one release and they were being used all the time. Then they got their health reduced from 100 down to 60 if I remember correctly. They still retained a range increase on their shock weapon I think?
They don't seem to get used much now.
Are they still useful but underused? Are people using them more than I think?
From what I see, they're still a very strong unit.
It's hard to stop them when they come raiding your base, especially if they're protected with AA. Against Russia, you absolutely need to stop them from getting to tech.
