People comparing pak howie to pwerfer only confirms tha pak howies are op, because they come earlier, no fuel, no micro required. To compare pak howie to howitzers make it worse, since they do cost fuel too and are doctrinal.
What does any of that post have to do with what you quoted from me? Extent of my argument:
If we are nerfing the pak howy further, give it 6 men back. Having such an expensive team weapon get de-crewed so easily seems like a bad way to balance it. Weakening (not removing IMO) auto-fire makes a lot more sense.
I am not opposed to pak howy nerfs so idk why you're talking to me about "justifying its current performance. I am only opposed to the route they took in nerfing it before; no one asked for the crew size to be tweaked, they just dropped that change in out of nowhere
