mark target is the version that gives the enemy tank an armour reduction and a target size increase meaning all AT sources will be more likely to hit and more likely to pen. how pray tell will that be useless for ostheer?
I'd like the Mp40 to be buffed and STGs become doctrinal or tied to vet/tech as AL alternative scaling option. Part of the problem with okw and volks is the massive power spike volks get in part by the STGs and the brain deadness of the design of them. They are similar to BARS in this regard imo. But MP40s give a CHOICE and a path and also smoke easier access to smoke which okw needs.
Now to the STG suggestion, with it tied to vet or tech (say an STG per interval) it will improve both variants of volks (Mp40 and kar98)
If STGs were moved to doctrines they could even remain the same as now, only obviously restricted
Do players frequently send their expensive hevay tanks around the map where there is no friendly infantry to support it? That may in part be the root of the issue in the "squishy" Pershing issue.
. The prerequisite of "have infantry nearby" has no bearing at all in the quality of enemy...
Why are you again counting CA? Shall we count Stuka to count for Tiger AT capabilities?
Apples and nuclear reactors.
Its like saying we should compare for the father land and Rifleman molitovs.. You can't even REALLY compare global buffs and area effect buffs and you sre trying to compare an off map skill shot with a global buff.... That's just arguing in bad faith
Almost all upgrades are like that. USF nades are only for the rifles, all elite commander inf. has nades anyway. volster/nades for UKF are as well(IS only). Only exception here is probably the weapon unlock for USF.
The only other upgrade that only effects 1 unit is Tommy nades.
Usf nades also unlocks smoke for RE and officers (and also a nade for the lieutenant) and bolster effects sappers as well as tommies.
The only AT gun that could actually be defined as a JT counter would the the 17lb.and lucky for the JT it's one of the only units in the entire game less mobile than it...
That doesnt make them less durable though. It would be like saying shocks are less durable than guards because shocks have to close distance and take extra damage on approach.
The churchill is squishier than the katyusha because the Katy stays behind the lines!
