So I decided to compare the stats of assault mercs based on the actual values.

Direct Fire: The DPS of primary weapons. For Rhino I only used the DPS of minigun, because that’s what he uses 99% of the times. For all other mercs I used the avarge dps of the 3 primary weapons they have. (Fragger 133, Thunder 132, Nader 125)
Indirect fire: I gave thunder 2,5 because his conc nade, I played a bit after update and I find the cuncussion effect quite good compared to post-update.
Health and MS: I don’t think I have to explain.
Before you would post:
-these are not random numbers, I calculated the scores according to merc stats
-Score of 1 doesn’t mean that merc sucks, it just shows how the attribute is compared to the other 3 mercs.
So after this comparison I think Fragger didn’t really deserve the nerf to his HP, I think he got that nerf to make Thunder a bit more viable, but Thunder still needs a minor buff to his fire power IMO. So, what do you think?
Edit.: I made another comparison, because I was a bit still sleepy when I did this, but the first one is based on difference between the stats, now made a new one comparing the actual numbers:
