The ISU-152 might as well be considered the soviet version of the Tiger ace.

Maybe switch them? Make the E the standard anti-something buildable one and the G an anti-tank doctrinal one?

I don't mind that the STUG III G has the same gun as the Panzer IV long (They did..) but its HP is seriously low. The nerfs cut down the HP to 400. And the T-34/76 got buffed from 120 to 160 plus armor that the stug can't pen.

Personally, I would prefer a 550-600 HP stug and with lower fuel cost for it to be a viable cheap tank fighter. The Panzer IV is just a much better value.

I haven't used the Stug III E yet.

It's cheaper but by barely noticeable amounts. I don't think the stug III G is worth it anymore with all its nerfs.

I do like the patch a great deal, though. The Pak will be more important to German play now, and there will be less 'panther spam' in team games. It would be hard to field more than 1-2 panthers now.

Shame, really. Was such a nice trio. Ostwind vs infantry. PzIV vs Inf and Tanks. And StuG vs Tanks.
Now it's also somewhere between good vs Inf and Tanks but without the turret and no armor and still a target size of 20. Cheaper though.

Feels like paks are awesome now. Also they seem to vet very fast.

I agree with this too, and it's a good change (since paks are 320, 9 Pop...) The paks/Zis are now pretty good since they move and set up much faster.

I find the SU-85 kind of redundant now since the T-34/76 is now a solid and good tank fighter (especially used in pairs and above). The Zis is now much better which decreases the usefulness of the SU.

Same thing with the T-34/85. The T-34/76 can now hold its own so the value of the double call in is now questionable. The Lend lease commander pretty much makes it obsolete I feel.

Overall, I think the STug III G is nerfed since its AT performance is now downgraded to the Panzer IV. It has no turret and cannot pen T-34 front armor....not good, not good. I think its infantry DPS/scatter is similar to the old stug III E/Panzer IV C. It's better against infantry than before but NOT THAT much better. So I still think that the Panzer IV is the main tank killer of T3.

Panther...I feel like the price is finally fair. It is high enough so that there is only 1 or 2 per game and they will support the Panzer IVs. They also have superb pen now.

The soviet commander's main advantage is constant fuel for munitions. This allows one to build more T-34s.

The Sherman is pretty good but expensive @35 more fuel. I believe that its main advantage is higher DPS but everything else is similar to the T-34/76.

The Puma is cool vehicle but kind of pointless due to how late it comes out. It is also close to the fuel price point of the Stug G and only 30 lower the Panzer IV so buying it is questionable.
