What do you guys think of this? I think they're a little too fragile atm. In terms of firepower it's now a cheaper and less versatile version of the p4, which is what it should have been the whole time (at least thats how it feels. i know it has more armor penetration than a p4). At least lower its 10pop to an 8 or 6.

EDIT: agh nevermind they're terrible. why use these things over a p4?

AT power is unreliable too. i'd rather have a pak.

not to mention they're flimsy as hell. flimsy + no turret = bad combo. its range and firepower is not enough to justify those weaknesses. sure its cheap but i'd rather save up for a p4 anyday.

They are OP because they are:
- cheap
- good vs AI
- long range means they are good vs shorter ranged Tanks (probably SU-85 and ISU are good with them)
- gain vet really fast

I think Stugs G are quite OP, and they become more OP the higher the skill level of the user.

Like Pumas they vet up ridiculously fast and get one of the most powerful abilities in the game at Vet1: 2-3 vetted Stugs can keep even a heavy Soviet tank stunned long enough that it's usually not able to do much damage to them. Throw in some infantry support, paks and an Ostwind and you have yourself an invincible army.

What makes Stug Gs more powerful this patch is that they're now pretty good against infantry too.

tbh this video clip of girls und panzer says it all really. :facepalm:


Back on Topic:
ive heard that its UP, OP and somewhere in between I don't think the patch is out enough to tell exactly what needs to be done. :)

also there not suppose to be used as anti tank now, not as much anyway. Use them as anti-infantry, anti-veichle and anti-t70 :) there ability ofc is still pretty good. but they are no longer tank destroyers.
