Umm US Jeep?

Why is it a bad thing that people are forced to build counters for units? Do you complain that your rifles don't penetrate a Tiger?

It's a dodge not a Jeep. They are bigger heavier and slower than a Jeep. I haven't sacrificed a herd of goats to the war spoils god but I can imagine what a PITA this thing can be. Should make it alot slower than an M3.

its acceleration is actually slightly higher (not sure what numbers you guys are looking at). its to speed is barely lower. as i said before, its front armor is insignificantly less.

but its damage and pen is much higher than that of the m3. it has 40 range. its high rear armor means getting behind it is barely rewarding, so people can just drive it into okw squads without fear.

not to mention theres an exploit for it in team games with soviets. not going to explain that further.

Abandoning vehicle and giving it to your teammate is hardly an exploit as even devs said its encouraged mechanic.

M3: requires CE to build T1, locking him to a heavy AI tier, and still have to wait till 4rd unit to build first M3 (you won´t have the fuel).

Dodge: 0 CP. I guess with the starting fuel you can get it as a 3rd unit. No tech investment.
Rifles long range high dps (in comparison to CE/Cons) will make you bleed even when in cover.

It´s lovely when they rush you because (on the same way it worked with M3 before nerf) they know you still don´t have munition for faust and deal close quarter damage for free.

Rocketenwerfer anyone?

If you're talking about putting snipers into them, it's nothing new, nor some sort of ultra secret.

Most people don't do it because it involves team co-ordination, a lot of resources and T0 anti-tank is available for OKW. The glory days of the M3 being faster, tougher, and also having snipers in all from the T1 building aren't up for a resurgence any time soon.

Could pretty much close the thread at this. A supported Rocktenwerfer will lower the Dodge to the point where a Strumpio group can finish it off.

Going Rocktenwerfer as one of your first three units in OKW is a death sentence anyway, the limiting capping power and combat effectiveness kills the early start for OKW, who are already having a nightmare of a time at the start of the game.

Then don't complain that light vehicles overrun you if you refuse to get a hardcounter for them.

yea, you should always gamble your early game on the chance they have a 0 cp vehicle. always build a rakatenwerfer as your first or second unit. the best part is its also able to retreat when you inevitably get overrun by rifles. this build never fails.
