Canister shot

I could say the same about the Walking stuka and the Sturmtiger.

something sucking does not justify something else being OP.

Then the rest of the doctrine should be fixed along with well-deserved nerfs to canister round.

I can't really think of a possible way to save the doctrine when M8 would be nerfed.

Just like dodge truck IS a mechanized doctrine, the same way M8 is a reckon doctrine. Everything outside of that single ability is a bad quality filler.

How to save a doctrine for dummies 101:
Chapter 1: Recon support company

-Reduce popcap on pathfinders, make them 2 man and give them rifles with sniper crit and extra range.
-Greyhound: buff cannon, nerf canister. Mindblown.
-Recon sweep: make it sweep at a slower speed so it stays a bit more.
-Airdropped Combat Group: 6CP. Remove AT gun and make it drop for 720mp 2 Airbone squad with random equipment.

Stuka; expensive, midgame, doesnt track units, howling sound when firing, can be dodged with average effort if you're not asleep in front of your PC.

Sturmtiger; expensive, lategame, takes forever to reload, slow, doesn't track, can easily be avoided once you see the ST raising it's barrel.

Greyhound; Cheap, fast, no teching required, reliably oneshots squads for 50muni, tracks target unit (even on retreat), comes late early game/early midgame.

Seeing I&R pathfinders is not a sign that you should get some AT ready for the grayhound?

1. Nobody remotely smart is gonna get the pathfinders before greyhound exactly because there's no point in showing your hand before you play it.

So... anyone going recon is not going to use the I&R pathfinders to tip the next few engagements in there favor?

Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2014, 01:31 AMbraciszek

Well... Who uses I&R pathfinders anyways? And USF isnt going to spend its early munitions on its abilities, anyways... :/

I actually really like using the IR Pathfinders early (despite what Cruzzi says ). Think I did so in the first replay too, though I wouldn't use it against solid grenspam or OKW w/o MG34s or forward medic truck. getting squadwipes on MGs early is nice, and catching a Pak is worth every penny.

That we can agree on, and extra firepower in a engagement is always a welcome.

To others, they are worth there weight in combat than just useing there arty call-in.
