Based on how hard plasma was hit with no additional changes to the actual weapon to make up for it, I heavily doubt that it was properly tested.
They managed to make Recon gun into an endless ammo weapon, while Plasma where keeping your ammo up was already a struggle has even less now (not just a little less a lot less).
I didn’t say the testing was enough or the balancing done well, lol. Just that the vet seems to have gotten more attention in these regards relative to others.
Not just Plasma, non-headhunter autoguns drew the short straw too especially with the ammo economy changes. Hell, they somehow seemed to have cranked up the ranged DMG dropoff and recoil pattern for the AG1 thereby nerfing it into the shadowrealm, only works atm if you use it as if it was a braced autogun.
There is certainly talent tax for the Veteran tree in many places. A few abilities could be merged or a cull to a line of stats and raising up the other stat options to compensate.
After playing around with Voice of Command since the patch dropped, the stagger is inconsistent and could do with looking at slightly. Duty and Honour should be baseline as the ability doesn’t feel great without it. For the Emperor! could be a nice replacement as choice between damage buffing your allies or reviving them and a new ‘capstone’ could be implemented. It would also bring it inline personally with the Zealots Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude.
(Also to add that Born Leader is awful, needs a REAL look at)
I’ve heard a few grumblings about Infiltrate but I’ve only used it the once so really can’t comment.
