Tiger was OP and why do he need compensation to get it back to normal?
Tiger is getting a number of nerf like:
CP increase
Cooldown increase
AEO decrease
Panzer Commander removed from the OKW Tiger
Veterancy 2 scatter bonus removed
1. OST mortar GrW 34 has 5 range more than US 81 mm mortar, adding to that the counter barrage ability.
2. Pak 40 has stun armor option, comprehend that, stun the target. Insane pen as compared to US. Although US at has increased view ability and AP rounds but that does not stops the tank or prevents it from using the smoke ability.
3. Mg 42. Do we really need to discuss this? AP rounds, arc, supporting infantry dps. T0 build.
4.
SNIPER
.
Check the world champion stats and see how many support weapons where build from USF.
And it does not matter who actually has better support weapons. The point is that Ostheer used to have an advantage in support weapon that cover their disadvantage in infatry.
Let me remind you what you wrote:
"The reason the OST infantry is a 4man squad is designed to fight with the support weapon team..."
and my point is that USF have 5 men squads with equally good support weapons.
To compensate the loss of the Panzer Commander (which we deemed too oppressive against ATGs because of the artillery), the Command Aura will lose the accuracy penalty, which should hopefully be enough to make using it more worthwile. Along with a vet 2 turret rotation buff for all Tiger variants.
Glad to see that my points about the Aura and vet 2 scatter bonuses to turret rotation are addressed.
