No need to hide it behind vet. Make it require T3 be built and make the HE barrage an upgrade which cost mp + fuel. Now you can make the T2 Stuka only Flame barrage while reducing the cost of it as well.


Now regarding USF:

You could try swapping the Scott with the Pack Howie.

-Scott: reduce AA range to 50.
-Stuart: now you can make the unit more AT worth oriented once medium tanks appears as the Scott takes on the job of the light tank with AI capabilities.
-Pack Howie: reworked to be the "Land mattress" of USF.

Stuka is available early but making scott available earlier does not solve the problem. It actually creates another. This is typical "the grass is greener on the other side" mentality.

The availability of stuka is problematic mostly in 4vs4 games and I guess one could try locking it behind the engineers upgrade.

I don't think that Cup has a allot to do with with how early Scott become available.

My actually suggestion by stuka has been to replace the HE round with incendiary making the unit perform more like an anti garrison unit than squad wiper and offering the HE at higher vet level.

Try a vetted Sherman 76mm with radio net bonuses. The unit is borderline broken.

The issue has nothing to do with unit itself and its cost efficiency but with USF faction design.
Units like the Easy8, 76mm and after the patch 105mm are destined to see little action not because they are not cost efficient but because their more cost efficient options.

but it's not funny if you explain it

Players who overwhelmingly play one faction, regardless of which faction it is, tend to become convinced that their faction is weak and the factions they play against are strong.

CoH 2 is a game of positioning and probability, so if you have a confirmation bias (you want to believe that Faction Y is overpowered) it's incredibly easy to find validation for that belief.

Balance threads often devolve into shouting matches between these one-faction players, both oblivious to the fact that if you strip away the faction labels, they all sound pretty much the same.
