Anyone else feel the 30% moving accuracy penalty is too harsh for the USF M3? I can understand for the earlier WC51, but 30% on the M3 would make it not worth the cost/risk for both Cavs and Zooks. 40% is less harsh and gets compensated by the extra passenger shooting out.
Harassing with squads in it is the main purpose of the M3, it should stay effective at it.
Especially with 250 still being the same as what it is despite coming even earlier than M3.
IMO m3 should come after an officer tech, not the full tech. That would put it more in line with 250 as they're kind of counterparts. Agreed on the 40% thing too.
But I'd like to restate a proposition I made a while ago: I'd much rather see the WC51 lose the ability to carry infantry squads and have its mg stock instead, and increase cost to like 250-270 to compensate. That way it'd be more of a recon/harassment support unit, more like the jeep from coh1, instead of a cheesy wipe machine like it is now. It'd still retain the ability to cap stuff too. Basically a kubel on roids, which would be fine IMO given that it's a doctrinal unit and has kind of crappy armor.
