" Instead improve the T4 Flak as it costs a fortune and is too weak compared to BOF."

Craziness confirmed.... You may consider my gaster to be flabbered. KT and Panther are a bit weak too, maybe buff their armour by 50% or so?

Other than getting 4 of them for free what problem exactly does this unit need buffing to solve??

It would have an amazing synergy with Piats if treadbreaker worked. The 8 second stun though isn't necessarily even enough to get a Piat volley off ( think it is actually a 5 second and a 3 second stun if both hit) considering you have to get them within range first.

If it does work then no need to dive in with it though, ( I find diving with AECs to generally be suicidal) the treadbreaker has the same range as the sight ( 50m) so creeping your AEC forward in front of a Firefly to dick and immobilise enemy armour potentially works well, again if it hits.

The range is a blessing and a curse, immobilising a vehicle behind their lines isn't bugger all use and if anything it's poor accuracy at range just results in a fail.

It chimes better with tulips due to the small window of opportunity, though with great demands always placed on munitions it is rather a gamble with a bugged ability.

It has clearly been designed to deal with kiting Panthers though in my experience it doesn't. Would be delighted to be shown otherwise though.

"MMMM, the UC will be a good unit to scout/holdoff kubel for MG since the vickers is more effective with vision. "

Hmmm... Good unit and UC don't often occur in the same sentence... Do I have a volunteer for the UC challenge then?

Unless it has been ninja fixed, tried all sorts with treadbreaker before and after the AEC buff to remarkably little effect.

The UC would be top of my list, even with the upcoming no fuel cost I'm struggling to think of a use.

Churchill second, a heavy tank ( and a very slow heavy at that) which costs more and has less armour or firepower than many mediums.

Each to their own though, which is rather my point. It is far more interesting playing against someone who has their own style or uses units you are not used to facing than a constant stream of scrubs who ape the build orders and priorities of tournament players.

It is a shame that the cost of each unit isn't dependent upon it's popularity. Or indeed that spamming wasn't financially discouraged in some way. Having three Volks on the field at one time = normal. Add a fourth and you pay more for it, a fifth and it starts to get pricey.

If no sod has built a 17pdr emplacement in a week ( quite possible) then why not sell it cheap to encourage their use?

Would also be nice to see stats not just on the Top150 players but on the whole playerbase and individual units. Would certainly help to inform balance discussions if the average damage given and received by each unit was known.
