then reduce its deployment time to 1.5secs from 3.

I don't know what do you expect. It's an half track but you used it like a tank.

That video is ridic... driving up point blank vs. Lieutenant behind a huge piece of green cover, facing rear armor. L2P
That was my lieutenant, btw.
Yes, he drove a flak up rear armor to a lieutenant. I don't think small arms should pen the thing, barring stuff like AP rounds or incendiary mg rounds. There is no way anything similar would happen to American AA HT.
At the moment the Flak HT is almost worthless because its too squishy, too cumbersome with the setup time, and the damage is not potent enough to be a shock unit.

I like the small arms penetration tbh, though. The BAR at that close facing the rear, glad it took off that much health.

For those that can't read or have trouble using their eyes, it's clearly him as US. Not the one using the Flak HT. The point he is making is that the US AA HT would never have that happen to it because its mobile firing base and instant suppression.Whether it's him or not it's still a poor example to discuss balance with and you are wrong that the US flak truck would have done any better. It would have still done minimal damage due to the luitenant being in heavy cover and taken the same amount of damage, it wouldn't have even suppressed the squad since it's suppression is lower. And it would have still been finished off by the flanking bazooka squad. Poor play is poor play.

It's even worse vs soviet since guards and conscripts laugh at it.

I think the flak HT is in a good place right now. Some might disagree, but I don't think it should be a near equivalent to the American HT, mostly because it's the American HT I feel needs changes.
I think the same.
Flak HT is fine, in any case the one that should be changed should be the US HT.

10 rear armor vs 5.5 rear armor
0 set up time vs 3 set up time
you really think the US ht wouldnt do any better? i wont even get into the fact that the US ht has 50 cals that fire on the move

On a note the US AA HT has 15 front/10 rear armor, vs the Flak HT 11 front/5.5 rear.
The American HT would've lasted twice as long, fired while moving, not have had to setup, and likely have had the cannons blow the cover away.

TL: DR
Faction Asymmetry
Posts: 467
OP posted the vid with no other text so what we gather is he is saying "OKW HT on it's own needs buffing." Suddenly people are comparing it to the US HT which makes no sense. Sure they are both half-tracks but that is the end of it.
TL: DR
Faction Asymmetry
If so then the Flak HT should cost about half as much as the US AA, but they almost cost the same and the Flak HT is significantly worse.
Saying Faction Asymmetry does not mean thread invalid. I guess if Jagdtiger was buffed to 500 range you would say That's OP!!! but then I could say 'faction asymmetry' like you did here. Truth is that it means nothing in terms of actual balance.
