I'm afraid the only way to change less of USF on the battlefield is to nerf some UKF and Sov units. Buffing USF does not seem a great idea imo. But one thing that must be remembered is the simple fact of 3 vs 2 factions. Out iof those 3 there will always be the one which is used less.

There are some abilities/units that shoud be nerfed. For example, if quite unbalanced Valentine was one cp later (for example), guards were nerfed (button/hit the dirt abilities were looked into, maybe some muni cost for their ptrs), ZiS barrage was nerfed (move to vet 1, make it one shell only at a grenade price), USF could be much more viable.

I hate this type of argument. Doctrines are supposed to add flavour to the game instead of selling you power.

If I drop myself my airborne ATG is it better because it's doctrinal?

I'd give all ostheer vehicles crews if such camparisons are made. And probably stock possibility to upgrade those crews with small arms. Or just add a free bazooka on top of that. Of course 221 should become stock and have an ability to lay anti tank mines. Why not?

You'd love my mod.

I have to try then.

But a more serious idea. It really could have some new infantry ram ability. With maybe Soviet tripwire mine effect.

1. Give kubel a heavy crush.
2. Give it a ram ability.
3. Add armour piercing rounds not as an ability but a permanent state.
4. Add muni paid upgrade increasing health and armour to Tiger 1 level.
5. After upgrading all battle trucks allow kubel to replace it's mg with a Flak 88.
6. Enjoy the new wunderwaffe.

Edit: 7. The crew could throw at grenades around it (in a similar way to UKF tanks)
Edit: 8. It could get smoke repairs - the blenkorper grenades would be dropped on all units shooting at kubel while it is being repaired, while stuka dive bombers would recon and attack enemy bases until the ability finishes.

I don't know why you guys are arguing around Raketen vs tanks or raketen vs other Atgun when the topic is about raketen vs infantry.

I guess that because I'm right and you have no argument other than pointing your finger at something else as a distraction.

Right. Back to the topic.

Imo allied infantry is generally better and more likely to wipe stuff such as at guns. Grens are on the other side of the spectrum. The at gun I really find problematic is Soviet ZiS as it has the crew of six men, is mergeable, and can counter support weapons with barrage or even, to some extend, charging infantry. It can also be used to successfully counter at guns such as Pak or raketten. When it barrages them they can get wiped (most unlucky) but will be forced to stop shooting at tanks and reposition with some depleted health (minimum result) effectively not shooting at tanks for a significant period of time. All this with a six men crew, which makes it super durable and losing its veterancy is much less of a possibility (Pak is only 4 men in comparison).

Because of all the above a Soviet player will have a chance of saving a lot of resources they would otherwise spend on support units such as mortars and can retain their vetted ZiS much more easily. Rak is really much less resilient to small arms and much less deadly and universal. I would not nerf it unless ZiS got nerfed too and the price on USF at gun got increased.
