If your 70 range TD with 450 frontal armour is getting snared I don't know what to tell you...
Frontal armor accounts for only half the vehicle and AT grenades tend to score rear hits. For some unknown reason both elephant and JT have lower rear/side armor than ISU-152. |
Not terrible enough to stop wiping squads on retreat. Also it wipes spread-out squads much more easily than Centaur, which can only nuke bunched up models
T-70 is better at killing retreating infatry.
If you want provide a videos with the Ostwind killing retreating squads or test from cheat mode. |
The Centaur is slow enough that it can't chase retreating units. The Ostwind doesn't have a problem chasing and wiping retreating units. It doesn't usually happen in 4v4's due to having more AT around, but I've had it happen to me in 2v2's. I'm not sure what I'd do with it if I was on the balance team. It's overall performance seems okay for the price. Maybe give it a small increase in stationary accuracy and a decrease in moving accuracy.
OStwind is terrible firing on the move. |

although not an actual bug its a buggy performance. The incendiary shell from Lieg can collide with terrain and ignite under the leig and kill the crew. Maybe reduce some the friendly fire of the weapon, which currently very high at 1? |
Does the 2% inc hit rating bulletin still apply to infantry around the sturm officer?
Sturm Offizier
The Sturm Offizier has been completely reworked to be an effective combat unit with the addition of veterancy and his retreat-on-death mechanic being removed. To promote his role as a combat unit and to reduce blobbing, his aura has been removed.
Target size from 1 to 0.91
Passive aura removed; bulletin still functions

So it seems to be a bug where pgrens take full damage from AT grenades when inside the 250 Half Track. Pioneers takes no damage so this seems to be a bug and rather balance breaking since Pgrens are the ideal unit to have inside the 250 Half Track. Can this bug be fixed in the upcoming patch?
I am under impression that they are ST44 gives priority as a target so they are begin targeted instead of the vehicle. |

One could replace the Mp40 once upgraded with flamers with K98 with stat that are a clone of CE mosins or a bit (15%) better. |
Agreed too, but to be honest, if tulips get locked behind hammer, fireflies should receive another buff to compensate such drastic change, make its turret turn faster, or let fireflies move faster
One has to be careful with FF speed it get speed at vet 1 and it can also have access to warspeed |
Its scatter is objectively worse because it has the same scatter values at 5 lower range. It also lacks any kind of vet 1 ability.
I'm not saying the USF mortar is bad, but it's arguably worse than the standard Soviet and Ostheer mortar when looking at performance and utility. Harder to compare it to the 120mm and UKF mortar pit, because those are much more situational.
That is a misconception it applies to accuracy and not scatter that is a linear value. |
I'm not sure something changed, but i don't find the extra 20 range worth it, when a normal mortar would be doing more DPS into a static position.
Talking about vet, IIRC it takes the same vet to get to vet 1 and half than for a normal mortar to get to vet3.
It has the same requirements as when it was more expensive and doing more damage.
...
Point is that the 120 mm is allot more difficult to counter with Leig. In addition according cruzz the 120mm has close to double AOE.
From in game experience I find it easier to use the 120mm vs OKW track and I have seen gain allot of XP that way. |
