Tier2 USF does have a reliable counter to halftracks. The .50 does really well.

I noticed in a game I was playing that the JP4 has the same sight range as a vet1 m20, which is really strange for a low profile vehicle. This game seems to have things reversed in regard to tank destroyer vehicle designs. The low profile destroyer can see far and the open top can't. The whole point of the open top was for sight range. Yes this includes the Ostwind, it should see farther than a regular tank. The JP4 is already pretty damned amazing with long range, excellent penetration, really good frontal armor, and a decent firing range. I found that once the m20 could see the JP4, it was over. I'm talking the vet1 m20 with the extra sight range. Only a lucky miss of one of the 2 shots would save it.

It would be nice to have an automatcher for workshop content. At the very least for the Official balance previews. It doesn't need to keep track of a ladder. Just matching people up. I suppose a ranking would be good if the population was higher, to prevent n00b beatdowns. It should be pretty easy to implement I would think.

I get so upset in team games when I see players choose my mined locations to fight on. Like my teamates park their tank on my m20 mine and just sit there. First time they are hit with an antitank weapon, they are stuck there with 15% health like a dummy. It happens a lot I will look over and see disabled allied tanks sitting where I put my precious m20 mine.

I think it should be fixed, but it adds to the attention debt of your opponent if they choose to attempt a scan. It will be highly error prone, especially if you are very good with mine placement.

You know, if you place it at a road intersection or some popular area. One thing that is crucial to mines, is maintaining confidentiality. To me the payoff for laying infantry triggered mines is not very good. They were nerfed and now I'm lucky to knock out 2 entities from a squad at a cost of 30mu.

So really what I want to do is lay the anti tank mines. 60 mu to make a sitting duck out of enemy armor is a great deal. That said, I try to make sure mines are laid in secrecy. If I can see an enemy with my mine layer, I'm cancelling the build and going somewhere else. I would hope they go over to the spot and try and detonating the mine. Axis players will usually be ok dropping a 45mu grenade to cancel it out. Well if the build was cancelled, then they waste their resources. Another thing is, laying mines on your flanks.

Usually sweepers and advanced scanning is not going to be done on the flanks, since there is no time. If you have a good bait unit, it will still work in the presence of detectors, since they aren't going to bring them all the way to the flanks or the element of surprise is ruined.

I find that for allied players, this is a game ender for your axis opponents in low morale team games. Especially if you use that sniper tactic of letting it sit there disabled to draw out other vulnerable forces that come to it's rescue.
