can we have a video of it doing it ? someone already posted one of ostwind doing OK vs lv not like u say

When I see it in game I will show you. Never recorded it yet and didnt save replays of the last games.

yes but from doing almost nothing to melting LV would require a bigger change than being able to shoot 2 more round before reloading and a 0.3 CD buff

The Ostwind never did "almost" nothing. And yes 0.3 CD buff is a huge deal in this case. It went down from 0.5-0.7 so now it shoots twice as fast on average.

Not bugged. It has 7/6/5 penetration. AP rounds give +200% pen so 21/18/15 pen. That's great for killing half tracks and 222s but the Luchs has 55 armor. That's a 38%/33%/27% chance to pen for 10 damage per bullet vs Luch's 400 health. DSHK also has pretty low ROF and burst durations.

The M2HB barely does any damage to a Luchs either and its AP ability gives increased damage too.


As for Ostwind versus light vehicles, I wouldn't call this melting (15:15m):

If it has 15 pen on max range per round every 4th round should pen and do damage. As I said. I had a dshk shooting at a Luchs for like 20 seconds and it did nothing despite being on AP rounds. How is this possible. It felt like the AP rounds were not activating despite using the ability.

And for the clip: Both vehicles were moving and the Ostwind missed most of it´s long-range shots. Close the distance and stop moving and voila it will melt them.

Luchs is way faster than Centaur. Meanwhile LVs can´t just escape the Ostwind by driving away. Unless you get lucky and the Ostwind doesn´t hit it absolutly does melt any LV. Not sure what game you are playing.

The Soviet AT strafe in Airborne is really bad and needs to be replaced/fixed so the doctrine has some sort of late game scaling. Generally not impressed with the doctrine. It´s not viable compared to many other Soviet doctrines. Nothing to counter static play, no heavy tank, elite infantry call-in that is worse than Shocks and vanilla Guards, Dshk is not great, not terrible. I had a game where its AT rounds vs Luchs and they did close to zero damage. Maybe it´s bugged?

Assault Grenadiers and Panzergrens are still a bit meh IMO. Good vs Soviets but not useful vs USF and UKF. They just get melted too fast. Probably in a OK spot though considering MG42 support from T0.

Ostwind is too good now. It needs to be adjusted. It´s deadly as a Centaur but with more mobility and cheaper cost. Not just against infantry but it also melts AECs, Stuarts, T70s and SU 76 super fast.

RE rifle grenade is too good too. It´s so annoying to fight against USF infantry blob that is supported by a rear echelon sitting in a house and lobbying grenades non stop. You have to move lose cover and have no way to win the engagement. Maybe make it so it cant lob grenades from inside buildings?

OKW doctrine is in a good spot.

Both Tigers are well balanced and fun to use.
