You guys reckon sujian will be in IA, no one seems to have mentioned it since its in iss already, but it makes more sense in IA.
Maybe. Or possibly a spin-off with a different weapons and skill set. I'd be surprised if Wu Ming were more than AVA2 in the Invincible Army.
I'm not fond of the idea of Wu Ming in IA simply from a gameplay perspective they are so close to Zuyong. The Duo profiles of the Wu Ming are the most different to Zuyong, however, so I'd say if they end up in IA they won't get any profile changes from ISS (i.e. no universal Duo, you're going to have to bring those AP Mines or DTW with you if you want a tag-team buddy for your Light Grenade Launcher)
I’d also be surprised to see Wu Ming in there. Between Shang Ji and Zuyong I don’t think we need them.
If there will be Wu Ming, it'll at best be AVA2 without a universal Fireteam Duo skill. So yeah, either taking mines or an SMG if you want a tag team there. Maybe a mixed Haris with a Shang Ji at best.
I don't think you can go by the color of the insignia. Wu Ming is almost the same as Hac Tao and Shang Ji and yet they are in ISS.
They have the same colouring as units we know will appear in IA (yellow and red). I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in IA. This would reflect their background as a regular army unit: however, White Banner would also make sense as they’re equipped with the older style armour. They’re actually ‘out of place’ in ISS (but reflects the close relationship between penal regiments and the judiciary). Su Jian have ISS insignia colouring and their insignia literally says “Imperial Service”. I’d be surprised to see them outside of ISS (which was my main point).
Wu Ming insignia is the same as all the old style units (same two Chinese words at bottom of laurels - Shaolin, Zhanshi, Sun Tze, Guijia, Tigers). The new style that are 100% confirmed IA (yellow star at bottom of laurels - Zuyong, Shang-Ji, Yan Huo) are much fewer. Granted, Bostria has said Tigers to make an appearance in IA as well as WB. I also seem to recall some units having had insignias with a red star at the bottom of the insignia (mainly Guijia), but that is either a figment of my imagination born from the Guilang/Daofei insignias (neither of which follow other styles) or it has been designed away. Grouping by insignias, White Banner looks fairly complete and potentially terrifying sectorial with Hac Tao and Guijia bringing in the elite, Zhanshi backbone and Wu Ming being the token cheap HI (probably low AVA). That said, it would be awesome if the two scouting subsections made an appearance in both Army sectorials and instead of Tiger we got HI AD in IA. (This would leave the known IA units at (in order of cost) Remotes, Guilang, Zuyong, Shang-Ji, Daofei, Yan Huo. The 5 unknown would make or break the sectorial with regards to whether it becomes versatile like JSA/ISS or much slimmer on different builds like Druze)

Nope. Still boycotting this and not running events for it. CB have shown 0 remorse for their behaviour and I will have nothing to do with it.
