No they don't. They give more suppression for less man power. A 200 manpower infantry company has the same suppression capability as a 75 man enforcer company with CQC researched. By using one unit of enforces instead of a regular unit it frees up enough MP for almost an entire PA company.

I also use them for garrison units as it means less manpower has to be used for them.

oh thats good then, but does that also make the extra equipment worth it, i use militia with dogs since you tend to snowball on manpower anyways

Im very early on in my first game with the OWB mod and I am doing the moderate reformist path where I am still hostile to the NCR and plan on taking the classic Starship Troopers "Service Gaurantees Citizenship" policies in regards to wastelanders so I am still pretty low on manpower, and will probably remain so. I have gained a decent number of factories from the Yakuza and New Reno decisions though, so for me at least the equipment is far easier to spend factories on than the manpower is on the larger units. Plus since other units are larger and use the same equipment, it leaves less for your actual frontline units to use. With enforcers they use completely different equipment that is way cheaper so it doesn't take any equipment away from your combat units.

I feel like it depends on the paths and decisions you take. If you can spare the manpower for using larger garrison units as well as the equipment then you will probably be fine, but for me it is far better to use a different and smaller class of unit.

It's also worth the production. Infantry armor costs only 4 production. Enforcers are the best option both with mp and by production. But you do tend to snowball with mp so I do get your point.

i did get short on equipment for about a year though, i had to fight a war with the washington brotherhood with consistent 130% attrition because the couldnt handle their own resistance, they basically grow too fast for their own good
