Same thing with a Puma and any unit that get vet1 blitz or Panzer tactician

not really, because the operating range is drastically different. All those vehicles, but Ele and PWerfer, have to fight within a range of AT. Not saying Panzer Tactician is balanced, but they are quite different. Having delayed smoke on p4, that usually fights in 30 ish range, is not the same as having it on Scott.

But they have armor and hitpoint and Scott's auto-fire is within atgun range. At the end you're complaining that Scott have a tool to mitigate Tank rush other than armor and hitpoint.

Then remove both. IDK why such mobile units even have insta smoke.

Scotts unironically get hard countered by PAK43 that have the same range and leave the Scotts at sliver of health, and also that they can shoot through MULTIPLE buildings, if you build a PAK43 on the northern side of Ettelbruck you can phase through an entire street and almost OHK a Scott behind the center VP.

Cuz you can't dive them with your panther, kill them and then escape with your blitz and smoke.

I have personally played with two scotts and paths (in team games) and the majority of scott's DPS comes from the barrage. One scott can, but is REALLY unlikely to shoot enough grenades to kill a team weapon before the axis player moves it away. Two, however, can make quick work of support weapons

Scott autoattack is kinda lackluster and one could simply advance through it, its not like a single brummbar where a squad gets hit and then has to retreat.
