Bofors is a unit, not a tier. Therefore it would be stupid to make it like a Schwerer.
Second thing, its hard counter to infantry and soft to Light vehicles. So here is a question. Why would you even engage it with infantry? Do you engage Schwerer with infantry without smoke?
As for the wiping squads in 1 burst at certain range, 251/17 can do it very well.
With good micro, in 2v2 you can achieve up to 50 kills with it. Sure, its worse but put it behind corner and watch how it wipes.
Is it better than during alpha? Good. In alpha it was piece of pudding and no one used it.
It's much less accurate against infantry but has perfect accuracy against vehicles because it's classified as "small arms" for ~reasons~.
The difference is that the Schwer HQ cannot Brace itself to become almost unkillable until the cavalry arrives.
Well its a tier, not a unit. Brace is double edge sword and be used for tactical purpose.
You dont need to kill it to advance. You just need to turn it into Brace.
Oh no, bofors built on a fuel point and I cant cap it with 1 squad, means I need to put little effort and use combined arms to counter it?
Sounds damn familiar
If designed well, they wont be OP.
It has been said that abilities will be divided into basic, rare, legendary etc.
So I belive you wont be able to make Commander full of legendary.
Rather something like 2 legendary, 3 basic, or 1leg, 2 rare, 2basic.
In that case you wont combine TA with Stuka and fuel conversion, for example.
I never said it was more devastating, I said it had a large Area of Effect. I don't know why your making such a stickler point out of this.
The ST does have to rotate to shoot, as it has no turret. And obviously you won't reverse at the enemy but you will need to keep re-positioning it in order to be able to shoot at the enemy since the angle of you relative the enemy keeps changing because your main gun is non-traversable without the rotation of the tank.
The day you signature was born I actually decided to delve into the stat files myself with extracting, so I can pretty much always now exactly whats going on. And honestly? The call out culture on these forums is so insanely toxic that every time there is any kind of argument it instantly devolve into people focusing on a single wrong small piece of information totally ignoring the actual content of the argument.
There is nothing wrong with single wrong piece
Anyone can be wrong more or less from time to time.
Point is, you have a quite long history of being wrong constantly.
Reposition? You can check Dusty cast of mine game with ST vs SturmTigers. Move, shoot, wipe, reload with no warning, no repositioning.
Yes, because ST has a turret which rotate in opposite direction which leads us to 180degree turn when reached the target.
Unless you are advancing with ST using reverse
I mean, really. Dont argue. Last time you tried my signature was born and today you thought that railway is more devastating than ST so...
Its cool that you are using stats and that you are not axis fanboy anymore, but sometimes you need to stop.
As for the avre, it should have lower damage than ST. Its just a mortar, not rocket.
