The unit is more easy to use, in good hands more effective than Brummbär, because of range and good performance. A good example of Preisleistungsverhältnis.
Brummbar is a close-quarters shock unit. Scott is a support unit at range. I really don't see much of a comparison as the damage and AOE values involved are not similar. The only relation is both are used versus team weapons, range being the method allowing the Scott to accomplish this and range most likely being the best way to make the Brummbar more capable in this task, imo. One could argue the Scott becomes more cost-efficient at this task particularly against a mass of anti-tank guns which might overpower the Brummbar by virtue of firing from a stand-off range, but a Scott barrage is much easier to escape wipes from than a single powerful Stupa shot.
EDIT: And I am the first wanting HMG42 be nerfed or get a doctrinal unit. All to give a resosn to bring the rest fraction into balance.
I am of the opinion the HMG42 needs to be buffed, not nerfed, but this is another topic.
EDIT: Preisleistungsverhältnis of call-in-abilities. Oh god... balancing noob-level +++.
I did not mean things like off-maps, just stuff like mortar barrages.
All increasing the projectile speed does is make the autofire accuracy closer to the manual targeting accuracy.
If that makes it too accurate, it's already too accurate.
Sorry, I did not see your post.
I agree with this, and I would think that most Ostheer players would rather a consistent but slow projectile rather than a fast but scattered one. Slower projectile speed makes the Brummbar worse versus responsive units like infantry (or light vehicles tbh) which can dodge or attempt to dodge its shells. ATGs and MGs, however, cannot move so quickly, and so the consistency of the Brummbar's shot comes in handy and projectile speed becomes less important.
I am of the opinion the Brummbar is mostly an anti-TW unit, since the Ostheer roster already has two very capable anti-infantry tanks in it. I'm curious as to what others may think, but that should be kept in mind.
