The unit itself isn't that bad. You just have to use the skill wisely & frequently. WP is very good aganist any stationary support weapons. And HE barrage deals pretty decent dmg against any stationary target.

The only reason you don't see it quite often vs 250 MHT is (especially in 1v1), USF just don't have fuel to invest for it. Especially because now they can access to normal mortar w/o commander.

USF NEED light vehichle to dominate mid game. If USF also goes for MHT, tank will come too late. Because USF needs extra tech (or special commander) to build AT, this is huge disadvantage.

OTOH, WM only invest 30 fuel for 222. & AT is always there to assist. So investing 30 fuel won't harm much. (But if you ask me, I'd go for normal mortar even for WM).
+ 250 MHT is very very strong against Brit's emplacement. So you will gonna need one if you see any opponent building emplacement.

Go for one if you are playing 3v3 or 4v4. If you use skill much, it will pay for what it costs.

Are you sure thats how bare bones the calculation is ? 4% sounds like at gun vs infantry odds lol.

From personal experience, a tanks accuracy makes a literal night and day difference in infantry effectiveness when moving vs stationary and im aware its a 50% hit but +10% is definitely not negligible and do you know if the comet still has .75% moving accuracy ?

When it comes to dealing damage to infantry tanks deal dmg through AoE & scatter. Not with accuracy. (Let MG be apart from the topic ATM)
AT & tank both have poor(less than 5%) accuracy that you can't really rely on. The difference is,

1. AT deals 40 dmg to infantry
2. AT has 0.5(!!!) AoE. With range: 0.15/0.2/0.25 modifier: 100%/15%/5% Practically no dmg
3. AT has scatter of 10.

So Combine those 3, AT can't hit the model directly, missed shot will land on far far away, and even if it does land close to the target, it has to land 0.5 AoE close & even that will deal 40 dmg(0n 0.15) or much less (*0.15 or 0.05).

This is reason why you don't expect any kind of dmg over infantry.

OTOH, tanks(that are not TD), tends to have better scatter and AoE. So even missed shot will land close to the target, and it will deal 160 dmg * moddifer according to the AoE stat.

So when it comes to dealing dmg to infantry, there is 3 important stat.

1. Fire rate
2. AoE
3. Scatter

From personal experience, a tanks accuracy makes a literal night and day difference in infantry effectiveness when moving

You are right with the obeservation, but wrong with the reason.
Moving tanks deal less damage because sactter gets doubled(some tanks might have less penalty than this but anyway) when it is moving. So missed shot will land far from the target. Dealing less (or more likely none) dmg.

They shouldn't have done 2 straight nerf to WC51.
Range nerf + welding to remove crew?

Come on. Just do one thing and see how it goes.

- get a little buff after an overnerf. Now, people gone wild because of this ?... Like, wtf ?.
Are there any new about Path + scott from the past and today ? No. It always the same.

+1 for this

why do you think a mainline infntry need AT nades? its even better on much cheaper pio sqauds...which can nade and even take 2 handheld AT to own by itsself most armor ---even mediums pretty often


IS are better than rifles these days....

The funniest BS I've since for the day.

Why not give pio a AT nade & remove it from the gren? That would be awesone buff to the OST according to your logic right?

It would be even acceptable to give them a one schrek if it costs gren not having AT nade.
