Imo the TD should be separated to "medium TDs" that good vs medium tanks and not really effective vs Super heavies and the "heavy Tds" that effect vs Super heavies but less effective vs mediums. Imo M-36 being able to counter effectively every vehicle from a Kubel to a JT is bad design.

Imo USF have enough option to counter P4 even without the M-36. (Although I do find the P4's gun a bit too good vs infantry)

One can also try to make M-10 the stock unit and M-36 the doctrinal one.

Because its almost as if bars do more DPS.

Not to derail the topic too much, but in addition to the obvious MP cost decrease, as has been discussed in a few threads recently swapping around the tech might be a good solution.

It may have made sense in the past when USF early game was overpowered, but at the moment it makes absolutely no sense to have both AT options in the Captain tier (Stuart, AT gun) and both suppression options (MG, flak HT) in the Lieutenant tier. On top of that the Lieutenant tier has two anti-infantry light vehicles (M20 and flak HT). This is very WTF design.


So why not swap the Flak HT with the AT gun? Then the tiers make sense:

LT: MG for suppression, AT gun for AT, M20 for harassment
Cpt: Flak HT for suppression, Stuart for AT, Howitzer for harassment

This even makes sense from an immersion standpoint - LT has the basic tools, but if you can hold out for that little extra fuel for Captain, you get some higher shock-value units to play around with.
