This along with the price reduction on the P4 allows builds that go straight to a P4 to get it 45 fuel earlier. If you go for Ostwind you can get it 55-65 fuel earlier. Why is timing of vehicles being ignored? Noone in their right mind thinks current OKW Ostwind arrives 55-65 fuel too late to be balanced.
To deploy the SPHQ would still require a fully teched Battlegroup so the T4/P4 timing wouldn't change, besides the potential cost reduction on the P4 itself. But that would still put it at 165 fuel teching cost compared to Ostheer's 125-155 for the same P4. The Ostwind would arrive only 30-40 fuel faster than it does now, which would only put it on par with Ostheer's T3 timing.
I wonder who it was that disputed Tightrope's video on the AoE adjustments and claimed his own personal opinion was the valid one.
Tightrope's video incorrectly suggested that the Tiger's AOE was really bad based on a single test, which yes, I did dispute and still stand by. The new Tiger AOE is still good. But some people's AOE calculations showed that it was hit by the nerfs just a little bit harder than the other heavies, which this change is meant to remedy.
I'd also like to hear which of Miragefla's changes would improve 1v1s and what I didn't address, because as I've said I don't play 1v1 and I haven't watched as many replays/casts/streams lately to get the complete picture of what's going on there.
