China's ECM and ECA's chaff allow deflection of missile/rocketbarrages and russia's ARENA systems has a high firerate to shut down most of a barrage, although it can harm your infantry and has to reload. PDLs on the other hand, apart from the PDL drone and the guardian angels super PDL don't seem to offer near as much protection against missiles and rockets. Is there any advantage to the PDL that I'm missing?

I actually agree with you zun.
The way pdl is implemented has always bugged me because it is decently inconsistent. Why do paladins not have to get the upgrade but everything else does? What is the point of avengers when your enemy has no air tech, but the farie fire still comes from $200 recon drones. Why of all units do repair dr get the buff but other support units like Ambos and mules don't?
Personally I would rather that pdl was standard over all the units it covered, but was maybe even slower and weaker than it is now (not by much though) and then when you got the upgrade it did a significant buff to the units it covered, and the pdl hit zh levels of good. Then you could justify paying 2k for the upgrade. Even if that was too strong (which I doubt it would be because comparing it to ecms... Well, yeah, they're free in terms of upgrades and generally better in every way) you could increase the price of the upgrade to 2.5k or maybe even 3k.
The only issue I could see with that would be USA mirrors (which shouldn't be an issue because tanks are t0 again) and maybe vs gla players, but that said I think anything bthay encourages gla players to build something that isn't buggies is a win)
