worst arty in game? i love it vs emplacements it is just satisfying because of how long it takes to come in you can usually drive up to a recently braced one, call it and it hits when brace is over(in my experience anyways)
when i go elite armoured (which is always cause sturmtiger, jp4 HEAT lolz and vehicle hax)
that said, i think both things could use a buff, commander could increase los further, or even be a clone of the brit one + arty (to justify being doctrinal when brit isnt)
repairs could deff be cheaper, free even as it only repairs the crit (iirc) and makes it vulnerable to decrew

at vet1 replace their nades with bundled nades?

what i meant is dat is only accessible if you go tier 1
if the upgrade could go to hq like soviet it would be better
all healing option if from the get to go only okw doesn't have dat

sturms can drop medkits at vet 1
now with them having a shrek and players building more than 1 there should be no shortage of medical supplies

on the flip, allied troops have more forgiveness when retreating due to higher model count. a con squad retreating after 4 loses has only slightly worse of a chance to survive than a gren squad who has lost half as many models
also more models firing at retreating squads means more chances to hit and a faster overall rate of fire

edit- seems i was too slow stating my point...

meh, su85 has its drawbacks- i know i would much sooner be able to increase my damage or disappear in the middle of a fight with vet than track infantry with my TD
or the ability to snare my own prey with some munitions (ff with tulips)
or negate my pop entirely and self heal (jackson)
or at max vet be able to 2 shot medium armour (jp4 from camo)
it has high pen and accuracy, thats hardly "combined the best trait of all those td into one package"
i cant fight the enemy AND pathing at the same time
i cant peek shot down roads perpendicular to my chasis
i CAN scout, at the cost of speed and rotation (i dont think this ability should be on the unit, but there it is anyways)

you re greatly overplaying the su85's power.
its a TD specialized in fighting heavy armour and it does not excel in any other scenario
the su76 is a much better and cost effective choice for fighting medium armour play at nearly half the price
as has been said, the su85 is less effective vs mediums making the it along the panther as far as reliability vs dps ratio goes

the pop of the su85 are fine because its not multi purpose,it does one thing. it does it well
