I dont understand, what is the point of 17 pounder? It costs 70 fuel and like 320 manpower? (im too lazy to check
17 pounder
-Cant shoot through everything without special ability, which costs 90 munitions..
-Can spot for itself with flare
-Garrison bonus
-Brace
Pak43
-Shoots through everything all the time
-Crew can be sniped
-Cheaper cost
Both of these guns are so easily countered, so what is the point of 17 pounder costing so much? Id like to see 17 pounder cost reduced a lot.
My place in the ladder is irrelevant as long as I am matched with opponents of the same rank and play all factions (balance at place 1000+ is no different from balance in top 100 if we consider what I said before the brakets) so I don't care about your assertion which is also irrelevant.

17 pounder
-Brace
You just showed us why 17 pounder is way more durable

I'm currently ranked below 100 in 1v1 w Brits, and I would never build a 17 pounder. It is almost useless.

Was waiting for a smart ass remark, and there it is. From a Senior Ref too!
Seriously though - it is useless compared to the pak43. Who cares if it can brace, if it can't hit anything. I pwn with a pak43, and the 17 just sucks:
1) Terrible rotation speed
2) Can't see through anything
3) When it does hit it is not impressive
4) Costs a lot for what you get. Resources are better spent some where else.
In 1v1 it is useless. It might be better though in a larger map aimed at a choke point.
Yes I couldn't leave that one hanging man, sorry

What's the Pop cap for the PAK 43? I'm fairly certain that the 17 Pounder is 20 which means that it accounts a fifth of your army just to provide AT support at a fixed location. Coupled with the 70 (!) fuel cost I haven't been impressed by it at all.
If the current Brace nerf goes live then they seriously better reduce the cost/pop cap or we'll never see them I think.
