ok, since before a while ago when i used vet 1 'tracking' ability on zis/su85, i remember getting vision as far as the range goes. i also remember ipkaifung in one of the cast says tracking on su85 is just a better focus vision, which still gives ~60 range vision . that's what i remember , i might be wrong.

but when i use it now, i get vision range below 60. it feels barely better than normal vision range. did this ability get nerfed, bugged, or was/am i just delusional?

It was heavily stealth nerfed at the start of WFA.

Its pretty useless now for the cost(which was also doubled).

Really sad to see Relic makes another ability useless even tho there are plenty of abilities who needs a remake e.g. the PaK 40 stun shot.

It was bugged. It should reveal units on the minimap (tracking units), not just give plain more sight.

Actually, if you read the description, it was supposed to do both.
The first line says "Considerably increases sight range".
Next line mentions infantry tracking.

I guess it's a typical Relic nurf: Nurf it to the death, until discussions come up again then buff it to the Olymp

I was disappointed that they changed it, I used to use this ability a lot to get that fleeing Panzer IV or scan the area ahead to get an early shot.

Now it's kinda useful in that you can see ahead on the mini map before moving, but now you still need to send in units to be able to shoot anything just out of sight. I don't think they needed the double nerf, what does it cost now, 60muni?
