Gotta say that who gave guards 3 dp38 and allowed them to shoot on the move is a very funny guy. VERY funny.

3x DP-28 have pretty much identical DPS to 2x M1919s on Paratroopers, who can also fire theirs on the move. They should have only 0.25 moving accuracy so they're not very good on the move anyway.

One Obersoldaten LMG 34 (0.75 moving accuracy) has way, way more moving DPS than 2x M1919 / 3x DP-28.
(Moving at 35 range gives 9.499 DPS for LMG 34 vs 1.809 per M1919 and worse for DP-28)

that is a change in their veterancy
• Veterancy 2 +160 HP bonus replaced by +10% armour bonus

We had already established that, Sherlock. The health/armor shift is what we were talking about. Nothing else changed for OKW's Panther's veterancy in that same patch, which is what I was clarifying as I specifically responded to:

[responding to armor/health shift]

I think they made it more expensive too.
And also removed some okw vet bonuses

And panther did not get health buff, it just got moved forward.

The effect it had was most definitely a buff for the Panther.

You have to keep in mind as I pointed out in another thread that FF has x150 long mid range than JP at 45 instead of 30. If you want to compared accuracy you should do at the same range.

But what is the point of comparing accuracy at range 30-45 for vehicles that are meant to engage at range 55-60? I only included near and mid range for clarification, not for comparison. As you might notice from my second paragraph, I'm only comparing max range accuracy.

The SU-76 might find its role again if the IS-2/KV-2 are tied to tech and the M-42s become less cost effective, and T-70/M-42 stalling spam into IS-2/KV-2 call-in won't work anymore. The SU-76 is still cost effective in its AT role and it might see more use again when the Soviets need some cheap AT to support their T-34s again.

I personally think the barrage is where it's supposed to be, behind a big pay wall so it can only be used in vital engagements. I personally dislike specialized units having a dual role (old ISG, ZiS, SU-76, M-42 etc.) because they screw up the strategic resource management balance that is very important in the mid game - for example Ostheer needs to invest 320MP into a pure AT unit while Soviets can invest the same 320MP into a unit that is good at AT but can also deal considerable damage to infantry (even if its at an additional munitions cost). Dual core roles should only be given to generalist units, because generalist units do not excel at either role. A secondary role for specialized units should only ever be a bonus, like how the Panther has decent AI damage because it's very expensive or the StuG has a top gunner for some self defense, but it should never be the selling point.
