How does this synergize with other de/capping abilities though?

Another question:

Any hope of addressing the Pak-Howitzer/Scott's "RNG wipe" state? In the last patch, the scatter was increased a lot, but nothing was done to the AoE or Damage values. Now, instead of consistently wiping models, it randomly wipes models - which is frustrating to both play with and against. One solution could be to revert (entirely or only partly) the accuracy changes, but decrease the damage/AoE. That way the units would be a more consistent damage dealers, rather than a unpredictable wiping machines.

+1 As well although mostly for Pak Howitzer if the Balance team wants to keep it's larger AoE then they should reduce the damage done so that's it's consistent damage for glancing blows but doesn't wipe any slightly damaged squad immediately. It's definitely a balance issue for team games where it's a lot easier to park them behind shot blockers/ wall of support weapons and just let them do tons of damage with minimal input.

From my testing, it appears to stack with other bonuses, like counterattack tactics.

Thanks for the tests.
I mean the synergy is fine, but both added together could potentially cause issues. However, this is an easy fix and I'm sure balance team is monitoring

You've heard it first here.

I think it depends on how its stacking. Multiplicative stacking would a bit different than additive, for example:

I think it depends on how its stacking. Multiplicative stacking would a bit different than additive, for example:

100% (default cap rate) x 125% (T4) x 200% (counter-attack) = 2.5 capture speed
1.00 (default cap rate) + 0.25 (T4) + 1.00 (counter-attack) = 2.25 capture speed

Show Spoiler

Either way, elchino7 could end up being right.

I stayed unspecific there for exactly this reason. But in the end it does not matter how exactly it is calculated. Just if it can be abused in game.

But we'll see. I like the general idea
