USF at-gun AP rounds
Posts: 168
My suggestion is that at Vet 2 or Vet 3 the AP round ability decrease cost from 60 to 30 munitions. Munitions in the late game is pretty hard for USF to come by, between nades, upgrading rifles, and using abilities. Every activation of AP rounds is a bar lost. And even getting a USF at gun to Vet 2 or 3 is pretty challenging.
I think this change would help a unit that's close to being balanced, actually be balanced without being too effective.
I was thinking about suggesting that AP rounds be free at Vet 3, but that might be too powerful.

It's fine as is. AP rounds aren't that expensive considering that they're a significant upgrade. Make it too cheap and you can use it every single time a tank shows up (Like incendiary rounds on mg42), at 30 it's just expensive enough that you have to use it tactically and not waste it.
AP shells for the 57mm doesn't have the impact Incen AP does though - it's not like going from damaging to possibly one-bursting light vehicles, it makes the 57mm go from probably not damaging tanks to damaging tanks in a fairly average manner (assuming the slightly lower pen but high fire-rate balances out). The cooldown is significant enough for the decision-making involved in it, and a player should not be hampered like that to use AT guns for, well, AT.
When I think about it some more, I'd think it entirely possible that it'd be necessary to tone down its other advantages in exchange for that. But I really think the cost of the 57mm's AP shells just ain't right, it'd be a bit like if a mortar had to pay munitions each time to shoot over objects.

The AP rounds already cost 30. Which is still too high, on that note. I'd just say simply reducing the cost to 20 to start with, maybe even 15 if that's necessary. Literally the only problem with the 57mm is the guaranteed muni bleed to make it function a lot of the time.
double penatration for 30 muni. it's not expensive at all.

30 nearly every single time it will be used once the first medium hits the field...for a bonus that just brings it up to the average.
Tossing a grenade every time your infantry fights will drain you, an AT gun or two doing that is going to add up.

Take aim needs some serious nerfing if AP rounds are buffed. That thing can self spot for itself when it gets vet 1 permanently for 30 munitions. Plus, that extra range as well.
Making it a temporary buff is probably the right thing to do with it in general since, like you said, you can basically just keep it on permanently because who uses an AT gun to cover flanks?

The USF AT gun does need them every time a tank shows up mate, that or it's bounce bounce bounce. Not fine

Why is this thread in gameplay forums? It is obviously ballance thread and the word "ballance" is even in opening post. Twice.
Mmmm I misclicked

57mm has 140/125/115 penetration. Which means even at long range it will reliably penetrate medium tanks and anything weaker.
It has better penetration than a t-34/76, which is a unit that does just fine against medium armour. The only medium tank to give it a run for its money (50% penetration) is the OKW PzIV at 234 armour.

Use ap and You will get good penetration with the highest Rof. This is temporally better state than german Atgun. Why do they have good base penetration with its the highest Rof and low mp cost?
