IR Halftrack durability...

Do you think IR halftrack should be a one shot die/kill vehicle like ambulance and rocket artillery?

It needs a rework too. 200mp and 5 fuel for passive maphax is a bit much. It was a bit much when the 300-something mp 70 fuel doctrinal valentine could do it, so why does the halftrack still have it.

Needs to be doctrinal. nondoc map hacks and map hacks in general are terrible in a balance sense.

Now please compare with USF utility car. Couldn't find stats of ambulance.
These may be outdated but if so, someone can correct me so i can edit them

Yes if the IR mechanism is bugged this doesn't mean we can't make changes to the unit itself.

All rocket artillery have 160 health. Why does this halftrack have double the health?

Reinforce ability, eh? Okw already have an option for forward base building. Okw does not need any more buffs. I would argue halftrack healing provided to ostheer too but that's off topic for now

osther half truck reinforces has mg and upgrade this would just reinforce no moving infantry, healing or upgrade, + it would have a recon like ability with cd , 15 fu seems ok to me

This would make this unit a Frontline reinforcing machine. Too OP in my opinion. Also it will provide Frontline Intel with infrared which will cause more and more players to build this.

the ost halftrack i believe cost 30 fuel and need a specific doc to be just able to trow flare is mg isnt the selling point of any halftrack and isnt the okw opel blitz suppose to be the owk halftrack?

MG with like 1 DPS lol.

I'd be fine with it having a tradeoff, upgrade it for recon ability but lose reinforce ability. Recon shouldn't be cheaper than 30 muni. No other faction has any equivalent for cheaper than 30 muni, in fact I think most cost at least 45.

I would just remove this unit from the game since it has a gamebreaking bug.

Why not just remove, no compensation? Okw has 16 non-doc units, while USF,OST, and UKF have 15(including emplacements), last but not least SU has 14.
