Did you even watch the video? The maximum distances the guy is nailing targets at are about the maximum effective distances for Mercies and Blueshifts beyond which they become too inaccurate as well.



As for MAXes should be less expensive... yeah, it's been tried and turns out it's a terrible idea. There used to be a time where locking Hossin gave the faction holding it 50% off of MAX units. That means 225 nanites per pull instead of 450, and guess what? It was absolutely horrendous and game breaking with organized outfits large and small (although the larger ones took more advantage of it) abusing the hell out of it by chain pulling and mounting repeated MAX crashes.



Yeah, MAXes are expensive, and yes, it sucks to get tank mined or C4'd as soon as you pull but they must be that way or otherwise it would break infantry gameplay and turn it into who can get the most battle rank 10s into a skillsuit.



Edit: Also you don't have to redeploy to change the loadout on your MAX, you can do it at an infantry terminal like any other infantry. Only thing different is that your health will not be automatically topped off by double tapping the terminal like regular infantry.
