If only germany had AT infantry or 60 range AT guns....
Too bad they don't have them and tanks are the only means of damaging an armor...

german tanks - more armor - less mobility
soviet tanks - less armor - more mobility
blitzkrieg evens the acceleration of soviet and german tanks so p4 or panther can flank as fast as a t34, it shouldn't be a nobrainer "trololol i'll just blitz in, destroy everything, pop smoke and run my 1hp tanks back to my pio blob for repairs".

PG is a joke in this patch, so as overnerfed panther.
So are you telling me if I don't choose Pak43 or Elefant I can't counter this uberassualtgun reverse faster than blitzing P4?
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Genuine question, for all the players that believe blitzkrieg is useless, would you be happy if blitzkrieg was swapped for cap and cap swapped for blitzkrieg?

I wouldn't mind. I could park my Tiger on a enemy VP, have it soak up damage if it comes to that...use combined arms to protect it. Blitzkreig on a tiger isn't all that effective anyways, especially with the way it's been adjusted. Using stug's stun and p4/panther flank is better than blitz for its intended use.
Conversely, blitzkrieg(call it overdrive like the halftrack and m3) on a T34 (maybe use an overheat after its use like RAM fail) would be great at flanking Elephants or any other heavy as it could reach it's top speed faster. Nice soft counter.

Is it better than smoke?
I tend to think no
The PTRS's are fine as they are. Whenever i'm up against Guard Infantry, I always have to be careful with my vehicles or the Guards will completely destroy them. Good range, good damage and fairly cheap; if anything, the PTRS should nerfed since it's ridiculously good for the price. Even in the hands of Conscripts, the PTRS's are extremely potent.

Blitzkrieg is probably most effective on the tiger because it doesn't have fast acceleration of itself. Turning the slow sluggish beast into something that can maneuver more freely in tight spaces.

Fun isn't it? When german tanks are suddenly equal to soviet tanks they are "overnerfed".
Well, too bad that this is how it will be from now on.
German armor is not meant to be more cost effective anymore.
I'm telling you if you won't adapt and still relay on old things you will keep loosing.
For some odd reason you believe that tanks should frontally kill dedicated tank destroyers, until your mindset won't change, you will keep loosing to better players, because now, I need to say it again, the armor of both factions is equal and AT guns and infantry based AT got better.
Time to use combined arms and if you need ele or pak43 to counter SU-85 then you're few months behind in terms of adaptation.

\Maybe you can enlighten us how we should use the actual crappy german armor, in order not to be in every game overrun by hordes of t34s and shermans.

I don't know how you're being overwhelmed by hordes of T34s and Shermans. Shermans cost more than P4s and T34s preform worse while only cost 15 less fuel.
Keep your panzers at distance, they have high velocity cannons that will penetrate T34 at range more than the T34 will penetrate your panzer.
Alternatively, spam pumas.

you're right, no more cost effectiveness for german armor. Just for soviet armor. Maybe you can enlighten us how we should use the actual crappy german armor, in order not to be in every game overrun by hordes of t34s and shermans. I am open to any suggestion, because personally I cannot find a solution at the moment.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Unless there is a new way to make use of it I find Blitzkrieg pretty useless now. Did anyone find a good use for it?
