You can instantly cancel it and avoid the bombs though. 200 muni wasted! 
Oh yeah.
You know, it has been so long since I saw hull down that I totally forgot that the sandbags and trenches all poof into the ether at the click of a button.
KV-2 siege mode cries stalinist inferior tears. |

Hull down panthers you say
IL-2 pilots learn this one weird trick. Festung commanders hate them! |

It is god damn fantastic
(Can we swap the OKW flack emplacements out yet too?) |

Would make a lot more sense and be equally effective in any game size that way. Could even perhaps make the unit more attractive in 1v1 while making it less of a pain in 4v4. |

Yeah, look on the positive side! Your opponent is wasting their MP on crewing two maxims!
Had a good game last night. It was a 2v2 long arty fest, to be sure. I would like to take this moment to remember the time an OKW push was met with two calliopes, a sexton, the british base howitzers and a major artillery strike.
Good times. Kudos to them for co-ordinated fire. |

For the record, the PZIV command tank was slated to get a change from -20% to -10% in patch notes and it never happened
That is a fact. It was going to get a nerf and didn't. There's no opinion about it, it's right there in the notes.
One could quite easily consider the issue a bug fix if one wanted.
Opinion: I think the aura should be -10%
Fact: It was going to be -10% but didn't get properly patched
I am a fan of removing all passive auras too. Would much rather it got a couple of targeted active abilities. But that's just my opinion. |

I mean. With shermans, panzer tactitian, lights getting smoke left right and centre... Basically everything and its dog has smoke now, it's just in different shapes and sizes. |
|
I've had at least one instance of recrewing a ZiS with Pgrens that has immediately locked it up until I grenaded the men off it, but didn't think so save the replay at the time.
Will keep looking. |

The sherman is a really awkward comparison to make because, honestly, for its price point, it is vastly better as a general medium tank.
The extra pen and potential flank speed on the cromwell is nice when you end up with mediums trying to battle panthers or TDs, but the raw, unmitigated firepower or sherman HE shells and the versatility of their smoke makes them basically the best medium going most of the time.
You don't use mediums to fight panthers, generally speaking. You use them to fight infantry 95% of the time and bring in heavy AT for the bigger cats. And for that purpose specifically, the Sherman is the undisputed king.
The cromwell has its strengths flanking elephants, circling KTs etc. But most games, most mediums are there to slug with mediums and murder infantry. |
A rare vehicle now I'd say, but I still have nightmares about the Su-76 hordes of before, and that keeps me from saying I'd ever want it buffed.
At the time, the barrage was free, so you could use them to lump 12 HE rounds into a squad in a tiny time window.
The MU cost on the barrage killed SU-76 spam dead in one stroke. |
