Right off the bat it shows the differences in personal opinion and how much that changes these lists. Just watched another tier list that put the stalwart in s tier and I'd say it's b tier
its how it is. really depends on what you value and what kinds of playstyle you prefer - i personally prefer to horde clear using stratagems and focus on heavier units personally.
I think you're heavily downplaying the utility of the Spear in this list, its an easy A tier after they fixed the tracking on it. Sure, its an ammo hog, but IMO it brings a certain amount of utility that you can't get from the EAT or Commando. A short list of things that the Spear can do that the EAT and Commando cannot: -easily wipe out gunship patrols (the Commando and EAT require minimum 2 call-ins to kill the same amount of gunships that the spear can, and with the spear, you can't miss) -destroy fabricators from any angle (the commando and EAT require you to hit the fabricator vents) -kill tanks and turrets from the front in a single shot -kill command bunkers in 2 shots from a safe distance Just for these I would easily pick Spear over Commando or EAT, you can easily work around ammo by finding loose ammo pickups, and if you have the ship module that fills all your special ammo from resupply, it makes it very manageable.
i can certainly agree to this to an extent. i just personally value the ability to have a backpack available, and while recently ive been enjoying using the spear more and more, i still feel like the ability to have a shield pack gives the commando and EAT a bit more flexibility. but i can definitely see your point
Underrated
A-M rifle paired with shield generator as well as an orbital and eagle stratagem is my go to bot loadout.
