Personally I'd love to see vanguard be permanently added to game. Why devs insist on taking it away?

Sure, it changes difficulty of some maps and makes some quests much easier than they are otherwise, but so what? It isn't really magical "you'll never get hit" solution, and it's strictly defensive formation with it's own serious drawbacks. It doesn't make game unbalanced. It changes gameplay somewhat, but so did many other mechanics introduced. For example seaplane fighters totally changed 5-1.

Most importantly, vanguard made some frustrating parts of the game less frustrating. It made it more fun. And taking it away makes it less fun. And this is why I'm salty. Not because 3-2 is super hard. But because it was more fun and now it's less.
