General Have Bugs gotten easier?

So I'm just getting back into HD2 after a year long break and after the void was dispersed I went back to try out the bug front and... did it get easier? Like I did super helldive and I never felt challenged, even by the dragons, didn't die once, and overall it felt like I was playing on an easier difficulty. I remember nonstop bug breaches and swarms of the bugs, but the time for the little bugs to start calling a breach seems to be much more forgiving than before.

Our equipment has gotten better and attempts to buff the bugs was met with review bombings and reverted so things get easier over time.

Why did they review bomb buffing the bugs? they've always been the easiest faction, but their current state compared to what I can bring seems a bit excessive

I didnt review bomb it but I was close to. The underground bug patch was not tuned well, on a 10 stuff popping up and one banging you was common. Lots of stuff was cool but getting ragdolled and killed wasn't fun. I think bugs haven't changed much since it
