Why is that shit okay midgame while the Brummbär isn't allowed to do that lategame, end of tech and at a high fuel price for the supposed lategame faction?
Holy shit. If the Brumm isn't supposed to kill soft targets with ease then at least give it better survivability.
The difference is the dot vs instant evaporation. Why is the Soviet flame arty so soon when stuka dive bomb comes son much later? Is this more Soviet bias perhaps? Why does the flame halftrack come out of t2 but the AVRE needs a full tech? Ost op?
Or PERHAPS... Now hear me out, there is a difference (keep paying attention this is the important bit) to instant AOE damage and constant damage.
Look away from a flame unit and you have a bit of time to retreat and the unit will have to chase (putting it in danger) look away when a brumbar turns up and you might not have a chance to retreat.
Its the difference in reaction time.
