Can the Dev explain WTF did they do to Blitz?
Panzer takes no time accelerating to max speed before, and the new blitz removed increased speed and just increase acceleration. Are you designing an ability spending 30 muni for nothing?
They said they intend to change blitz is a retreat to safe spot ability, how the hell this can help escaping without speed increase? and also, popping smoke is the one of this use. Without high speed flanking, how the hell German can win SU85 spam or unbeatable ISU?
and fuck elefant, putting a single working counter in a doctrine is bullshit.
I didn't see people (except noobs) have problems with blitz before.
Really now, only noobs had problems with blitzing immortal panthers?
Anyhow, blitz might not be as good as on a panther as it will be on other tanks. But if this is a problem for you, I wonder why you never complained about the vet1 ability on the IS-2.
Also, SU85 spam < panzerschreks, pak40, pak43, or any tank using actual flanking manouvers instead of blitz from the front and circle strafing.
The ISU152 was a piece of shit pre patch. You could drive a panther or tiger straight up to it from 100 range and still kill it easily. Now it actually might be somewhat of a threat and you might have to *gasp* use actual flanking maneuvers.
For a guy who posted a big 'SOVIET L2P' thread after the last patch, you are doing a lot of whining when the patch is not even out yet.
