The rifle grenade upgrade give a ranged ability which fires between ~20 and ~35. Its a neat upgrade for 60 munitions.

Unfortunately if you are within 20 range your rear echlon troops, unable to use rifle grenades will try to run directly into 0 range of enemy units when you target them.

I have two questions.
1. Can we fix this
2. How can i mitigate this but gameplay wise? (Should i just attack ground or let them free fire ect.)

I mostly agree although I would rather have it cheaper than with better mgs.

To make thing even worse Super heavies are now available earlier making T4 an even worse invesement for Ostheer you are much better of investing in Tiger vs Pershing, Croc and even IS-2 since they would at least get the much needed AI and reply on help from stug/pak vs the Super heavy.

In my opinion super heavies need to be delayed more, not all games have to involve pestering/tiger/IS/croc. Actually allot of powerful unit need to come later. Than one can tone down all units and give the a bigger window of opportunity.

Imo decreasing their window of opportunity of unit while buffing them thru the roof to compensate is the wrong direction.

I think its tough to justify pushing heavies back in timing. They come at like 20 -25 minutes most games, and the average game length is mabye like 30 minutes. I think it would be more fair to Increase tech costs in some way. The King tiger and Tiger ace (as a second vehicle after t3) seem to come around the right time at 25+ minutes just because they cost a bit more to tech to so players can't rush them wihtout incurring great cost.

Compare this to say the pershing. Instead of paying for a sherman then a second one (which would come later anyways b/c of build time), many players will just waiting 3-4 minutes for a pershing b/c it's not a big cost difference

I don't disagree at all and I don't think my previous post did either.

I wasn't tryna call you out as much as i was trying to follow up the thought

It just need better more relevant vet bonus.
Its base stats are good, but is also expensive and late.
But as a game continues, it fall behind because its vet is not good enough.

I also say it is a non-suppressing MG platform...aka almost useless vs infantry. Even a Tiger Ace without pintle and shorter range, is better vs infantry. Too much hype given to its pintle. It is not even as good as duskha or 50cal upgrades. Just overplayed on this prowess, like overplayed about the maxim deathloop.

After they made panthers stronger at vet 0 + increased the cost while nerfing vet 2 Panthers definitely don't have comparable vet to other late game vehicles. Especially since most TDs have a lot higher Pen than they did 2 or 3 years ago, the vet 2 now ~10% armor bonus and turret rotation doesn't have much of an impact.

Edit: if you increase Pen at vet2 it could scale better against heavies while not being any stronger against mediums and tds.

I'm of the impression that everybody who made the engine left the company when THQ filed for bankrupcy but before Sega bailed them out. They may not have had the knowledge to make any amount of resources invested in a fix provide an efficient return.

My game rarely crashed on my old Computer but after buying all new stuff it crashes if i don't restart every other game

I mean, there’s light AT options for everyone, the dynamic of light and heavy TD is there.

Su76 for soviets - Works vs mediums for the price but poor vs actual light vehicle due to poor mobility.
Puma for OKW - Gold standard of anti LV, Fine vs Mediums for the price
M10 for USF - only 1 doctrine but fits the anti Medium mold perfectly
AEC for Brits - Annoying vs mediums but not super efficient. Unfortunately no other light vehicles for brits to do the other stuff.
Go fuck yourself for Ostheer - But what about the scout car

I was thinking more anti mediums but there are shades of grey in all those. Ostheer at least has the Stug which is above average anti all vehicles, but not great vs any type.

Ya now I guess we know why the Fussilier nade sucks. It probably should be normalized or made a little cheaper if it's going to only do rifle nade damage as a close range nade w/ a fuse.

It did seem rather odd since the model 24 on VG is quite good and used to be amazing. Never realized they are not the same as fussiliers before this
