Actually Relic specifically stated that the Russian ML20 was designed to counter heavy tanks. They argued that the elephant was specifically made vulnerable to this kind of unit so that the Allied factions had a chance late game.
B4 is so impotent right now it makes Penals look useful.
When was that stated? Back then pquemsieh said shocks in m3 counter pio spam?
Makes a lot of sense to counter elephants with since Jäger Armour hard counters howitzers.
B4 was abused when it could one shot any tank without warning. I'm glad those times are over,now it one shots mediums still with direct shots, but at gun wall is simply more cost efficient and doesn't force you in a doctrine.
