Even when it was good before the nerf it didn't really fill in USF's indirect role very well and was usually ignored for easier to use units.
It could use either more range or durability.

Is this unit still in favour at all? I rarely ever see them nowadays. Does any one still use them? And how do you structure your build/commander choice to accommodate these fragile litte things?
it is overshadowed by the Sherman using HE shells. Comes too late to be of use.

When a indirect unit is getting outshined by a directt fire unit at it's role. That's a pretty big indicator something is screwy.

Suffice it to say it's not a very good unit. It's worse than all options. I think that I see it often when watching newer players play games and when high tier players are mucking around - but when it comes to tourneys and proper games then no. I never see it in use.

Make M8A1 a 120 muni upgrade for the Stuart.

When I play larger team games I often find myself forcibly building Arty and so I pick a doctrine for it, why?
The okw will blob, the Wer will turtle and hide behind a wall of paks and MGs, goin any other doctrine will place unnecessary restraints on me.
Lets get a real support unit in.

Id love if pack howie was buffed MASSIVELY, put in M8A1s place, and a 60mm light mortar replaced current Howie.

I'm not entirely opposed, It would add some utility mid and late game.

Then buff the M8, maybe give it different shells types etc and make it a call-in.
