Well then make the pak 43 non doc, lower the cost, give brace and make crew un killable, increase the HP to the same level as 17 lbr then we can talk about equality.
I seriously don't understand this? Last game some mechanic abuser hid it behind a building and just fired through it. I killed basically all his infantry so he had what every Axis late game looks like, pioneers/ engineers and spammed P4s/ Panthers, and most of his tanks were across the map so I was able to kill its gunners before he could use it much. A single non vetted ostheer P4 was there to bounce every shell from my two vetted KV-1s so I wasn't able to destroy it though. I looked at the replay, they had like 50-40 fuel per minute because their entire backline was made of caches (the only part of the map they owned), something that should have never been in the game, so even if you destroyed their tanks, they could spam out more with their 200 fuel and 600 MP surplus.
Because it doesn't have brace and allies have a lot more 1 clicks than axis.
Yes it is its own class. Their is no other unit like it, no other unit has such a shit timing window and doesnt scale meaningfully.
Unlike the su76 both the m10 and stug tank 4 at rounds, both do the 160 damage. Both have a powerfull round/abilitie to fullfil its primary job.
That still doesn't make the su76 a different class of vehicle from them though. No matter how shitty it is.
Just because the maxim sucks and requires munitions to do the job other MG's can do for free we don't put the maxim in the disappointment class instead of the Machinegun class.
They are light TD. Since they are not in the same class as su85s, Firefly's, Jacksons or Jagd Panzers.
And Puma and AEC aren't TD. They are AT LV. You can't seriously be saying that su76 is a vehicle of a class of which it is the only member???
Why not Vet1 flare for the USF mortar? It doesn't have vet1 ability and the unit is quite trashy compare to other faction equivalent, at least it would give another incentive to use it.
Since USF is the faction with the less stock reco unit (only m20) that would probably be better than the Major already overburden with many functions.
I guess the lack of vision is due to the fact they melt everything. A lot of fire power lower utility. + they have a metric ton of smoke to attack positions.
