Typical relic balance. Nerfing a units damage by 40%.

I don't see myself making a KV8 again.

Mission accomplished I guess. A lot of people around here would rather see units nerfed into uselessness due to their own shitty bias instead of balancing them.

I think the problem is they first reduced KV-8 but second they reduced how often flames do DOT by almost 50% so it was a double nerf.

Hopefully relic is listening to that feedback. So weird to have a DLC commander be bad

Ive gotten crocodiles to vet 3 with only 20 infantry kills. Yet it requires 60 kills with a brummbar to get even close to vet 3. Lol what a joke, lelic might as well have these units spawn at vet3.

Like this kind of thing is stupid, either lelic purposefully releases these new units like this. Completely exempt from what other units in other factions have to achieve to reach the same status, or they are just incompetent as always and don't check or compare for shit when they are programming. Things like this and snipers released not being able to miss squads, and many others is just...rofl lmao, just so stupid. Its like they think people won't notice, just like all the ninja changes we always find? How about some consistency lelic? We shouldn't have to make threads about stupid shit like this. Idiots. Whats next, what other bullshit that should be common sense do we have to point out? Rangers releasing with double received accuracy buffs when retreating? Pershing being able to self repair while moving and shooting? Sturmpioneer flamethrower having old crit system? Things like that. Lol. Quit trying to pull one out on the community, it gives me a headache.

Definitely agree with you there. I don't have any valid replays since the patch but I don't think I have ever gotten to Vet 3 with Brumbarr. Churchill crocodiles are more potent and have fast reload time so I think their vet requirement could actually go up but I stand by my position on AVRE as starting out it can only fire about 1x per minute and has a very slow easy to dodge shell unless you have static targets, damaged armor or you aren't paying attention

  Vet threshold; AVRE 45 KIA + panther and no vet 3

This is simply taken from my post when I created the replay

This game has a problem with some units being ridiculously easy to vet up regardless of the targets they are facing and some units needing to kill lots of units to even sniff late level veterancy. Obviously a heavy like an AVRE shouldn't be easy to vet up as it deals massive damage (albeit the mortar shell is very slow and has a long reload time) but in this game I got 45 total kills (1 was a panther) and I also did base building damage to OKW/Ost which isn't reflected in the kill count. At the 43:50 mark I get a nice shot off on 2 panthers side by side and do about 1/4 of full hp damage to each one. At 47:00 mark I take out 2 entire vetted PG squads with schrecks and that almost gets me to vet 3 but I'm still sitting there with about 15% to go. To recap, other than one blast that killed 9 volks, all my targets were high value infantry, tanks and base buildings.

There are other units, but this is the most recent that I have come across where you should have a chance to get and use highest levels of veterancy without having to kill for 20 minutes. Most games will be over before then and it makes highest levels of vet almost pointless except for 1 hour long slog team matches. This situation is exacerbated in 1v1 and 2v2 matches where there are less targets around per square meter of the battlefield and less carnage per player overall.

I don't think the AVRE is at an insanely high vet threshold but I do think a 15-20% tweak would be very welcome along with a look at each unit on every faction.

Is there any talk from Relic at looking at vet thresholds on all units...I know AVRE isn't nearly the worst.

You could have saved the game. The last played game is always temp.rec in the replay folder. One need simply change its name to save it permanently.

I didn't think to check since, are you sure even if it's a bug splat? Hopefully relic can still investigate it with what I sent.
