Demo charges were much more cancerous than Tellers. It was a good thing they got nerfed. As said previously, you can protect your vehicle with a sweeper nearby. You can't protect all your regular infantry with sweepers unless you want to go for engineer spam.
Teller mines are as strong as they are because Ostheer has no real LV and 4 man squads that are vulnerable to vehicles because of high reinforce cost and overall poor survivability.
IMO Teller mines are balanced. If OKW had them they would be OP I agree. But for Ost they are ok.
I agree it made the game better but the teller is no less cancorous then demo,s. The double standard is what gets me. People are complaing about the zis barrage now....
Demo,s where nearly twice the price and required rigging or manual input to detonate. The teller is almost place and forget.
The teller is easier to screen for indeed but loosing 270 mp and 75 fuel wich carries your mid game is far more devestating then loosing 1 or 2 out of 4 or 6 inf squads. So there was balance there imo.
Ost also has enough to compensate for 4 men squads and not having real light tank. Techless faust, better weappon teams as in ap ammo on the mg42 stun shot on pak and stugs, pgrens along side shrecks arriving earlier, faster to arrive lv,s, buffed ostwind, actual nades and overall higher dps, far more and more efficient healing wich none of have to be in base.
The teller needs to leave light tanks or assault guns with engine dammage and just enough health for a shreck or faust to finish it off. Its not like they can bounce that anyway but it gives allies a small chance to save their vehicles.
