For the record, Tightrope's tests aren't very conclusive because the Tiger I has always been weak against spread out squads because of its relatively small AOE. Its strength comes from high ROF, getting a lot of shots into clumped up squads (which happens a lot in real matches) which is impossible to test outside of getting a ton of real games in. The adjustments are minor, only geared towards reducing the OHK potential so that it doesn't wipe as much, so overal performance in a real match should still be good. The adjustments are not meant to make the Tiger (and the other heavies) necessarily weaker, but rather to make it (them) less oppressive. Heavies are still meant to be viable units.

AOE is hard to adjust because we have to basically guess the values because there is no way to standardize the values into some kind of performance gauge. Only the "live test" will show how it ultimately performs and if it needs any further adjustments.

I will read it, if course. But I won't promise I will reach the same conclusion unless everything leads me to it.

It's mostly an issue because relic wanted DLC money but didn't want to create new content so they recycled Tigers in a third of Ostheers doctrines. Similar thing with soviets bloated commander roster and shocktroops+heavy tanks.

USF, OKW or UKF doctrines for the most part are balanced because they don't have like six combinations of the same powerful units or abilities all mixed together.

Sure USF have a Pershing, paras and skill planes but they don't get it all mixed together like ostheer or soviets do.
