+1.
This ain't the only unit they messed up. P IV is ridiculous now (have you seen its AI performance? It's pathetic. And against tanks its performance is even lower) and the panther is bugged not having the proper AP.
So what am I supposed to use, now when soviet tanks are better? They should not have nerfed german armor, they should have just buffed the soviet one, or the other way around. Nerfing german armor while buffing the soviet armor cannot lead but to an unbalanced result. Which is what we have now.
April 24th patch notes:
Panzer IV
Armor from 160 to 180
Rear armor from 80 to 90
Reload from 5.75 to 5.3-5.7
Vehicle Top Gunner
Increased damage output of vehicle top gunners, previously the upgrade added little value to the unit.
Ostwind
Armor from 105 to 110
Rear armor from 52.5 to 55
Penetration from 35 to 40
Cooldown from 0.6 to 0.5-0.7
Distance scatter max from 2.15 to 2.9
Manpower from 320 to 280
Fuel from 115 to 100
Ostwind saw a cost
decrease along with those buffs. I wouldn't call these changes nerfs. The soviet units were just buffed also to compensate.
One thing that I agree on though is that the StuG's AI role makes no sense because the StuG was pretty much a tank destroyer.
Now, go try out some soviet 1v1s please.
