Will put these here, but this is my opinion. Mainly some timing changes and adjustment on the armored skirts.

First of all congratulation for creating these videos. There are a far better way of communicating with the COH2 community.

I am glad to see that my suggestion of changing upgrade cost from munition to MP/full is considered.

The suggestions for making it available earlier are in the right direction and I would even consider making available earlier by requiring LT only and locking skirt behind tech.

But imo one should probably tone down the performance if it comes available early. For it cost and timing it has much better armor than the 221 that come about the same while its high mobility and range of 40 makes it very good at kiting. It can even attack and force retreat on unvetted HMG from max range easily. Generally it is really hard to counter without a vehicle.

Imo one should consider lowering the unvetted performance with range to 35 and lowering armor to around 5 and move smoke to veterancy. If there is a need the vetted performance could remain the same.

Imo one should also consider removing the crew from these cheap USF units like WC51 and possibly the M20 since the value of crew allow cover most of the cost of the unit.

I would also suggest to make the 221 available to Ostheer to act as a soft counter to sniper/light vehicles and the 222 come later with higher power level. This change would help allot with timing and performance of light vehicles.

So you agree with me that pen vet is useless on m20, finally, thanks.

Although I asked politely to stop laying about what I have posted you continue to do so.

M20 penetration buffs greatly increase the units DPS vs light vehicles available to axis factions.

Is it great? not really
Is it useless? no it is not either

I would claim that it is as useful as the accuracy vet bonus the 20 cm 222 gets.

So its even better then!
Thank you once again for pointing out how pointless M20 penetration vet is.

The penetration of HMG-34 is irrelevant to the M20 and penetration vet bonus it gets.
Apples and oranges.

Again, it is not meant to destroy them by firing at them like an mg, it's primarly role is to support infantry against infantry, doing the reco and putting mine. Plus the way amor/pen work, it still can penetrate a front 222. But asking it to be viable against a 222 is like asking the 222 to face AEC/T70/Stuart, the matchup is clear and anyone thinking the other way just don't understand the role,and the limitations which goes along,of the unit.

True
It is already beats vs 221/223 that has similar timing and cost and has little reason to beat the 222.

I dont understand what you mean about synergy in team games commanders. pls explain

You do not understand what he means because he does not mean anything he simply, likes to disagree with everything I post.

ISU doctrines do not have reckon planes (one of the commanders does have the "mark vehicle" that comes with a plane but that is not a reckon plane, and reckon is not the issue with Elephant doctrine but the Stuka bombing (as I clearly explain the problem is abilities like the Stuka/Il-2/Assault Artillery/Mark vehicle)

isu/elefant meta has been since the launch of the game. Simply becasuse they provide exceptional anti inf/armor capabliites which pale in comparison to other nondoc or even doc units. My suggestion is to simply dumb down or outright remove ele isu and jt from the game. Once that happens the game open up. You no longer have to worry about a monster that can 1 hit kill all vet3 units or 2 shot tanks from long range with self spot. Then the game will be left to is2 tiger jakson panther and mediums.. much more fun imo.

Part of the problem is not just ISU-2/Elephant/JT but the commander themselves.

These unit should not come with powerful abilities like Stuka/Il-2/Assault Artillery/Mark target.

Commander should be around equal power in abilities and if these super heavies units are available the rest of the abilities should weaker.
