Is it just me or this unit almost vanished in automatch? It was already kinda hard to pull off in 2v2+ before the nerfs anyway but now its nearly impossible.
I think the unit is not bad but it still has a few severe underlying issues:
- the bazooka removal was okay, but the double timer nerf was over the top I think, nerfing both the mechanized Lieutenant tech time as well as M20 build time. Now the unit arrives at same time or later than a 222. One of both timing nerfs should be (partially) reverted imo
- the armored skirts being overpriced af. I'd say either reduce mun cost from 70 to 45-50 or do it like the 223 upgrade for 221: The armored skirts now cost a tiny bit of manpower and fuel only.
Nothing wrong with Panzergrens. They have super strong possible timing for quite a while now, and as you said their combat stats and veterancy is amazing too... in some situations they are crazy strong, in other situations you shouldn't get them, means they are not a no-brainer unit.
