why do people keep referring to pre-cu? This game is cu/nge. if it was pre-cu we would have elemental weps that matter need buffs to wear armor and kill anything etc.
CU was inbetween Pre CU and NGE.
Some elements of CU likely were important from Pre CU but since this is stepping back from NGE, some of that is lost.
Consideration for this, in my opinion, would be that since Mandalorian Armor is Assault - it should be allowable to Squad Leader since the original 4 classes that could wear it were Commando, Bounty Hunter, Squad Leader, and Ranger.
Since Ranger is Battle armor - Squad Leader would be a reasonable add. I assume the later Commando/Bounty Hunter qualification were in NGE? My personal interest would be having it allowed for armoursmith given Mandalorian lore but that's probably up to interpretation.
I think overall, Mandalorian Armor should keep it's qualifications as long as the upcoming Mandalorian Relic, Rebel Crusader, and Imperial Crusader leave open to be used aesthetically for others.
