Missed that your going to have to lose some men just to get close to it to Panzerfaust it as ost?
Its not going to be a clean kill to take it out, you realize that right?
What more do you want to deal with (light)armor? Or did the ROF nerf to the Pak make most ost think they don't have AT anymore?
You seem pretty defensive about this issue, for some reason.
Lose some men =/= Lose whole squad
Clean kill =/= No guarantee of kill
I don't think I'm getting through to you here... you cannot afford to lose squads as Wehr, or risk losing squads like that, or you cannot hold any of the map vs the advantage of the USF. Balling up 3 grenadiers in one corner of the map and trying to faust- and kill!- an M8 is not something you can afford to do.
Dealing with light armor- being able to
retreat and preserve squads against a faction which already numerically and qualitatively outnumbers early game,
which is a reasonable thing to expect from a 3CP 280MP/40F unit. Even the KV8 was deemed silly enough to nerf for its retreat-flame antics, and that's a lategame dedicated heavy anti-infantry tank. No need to even kill it- the M20 is harder to kill courtesy of smoke, and comes earlier too, after all- but steps should be able to be taken by the ostheer player to reduce the impact of M8 damage-wise.
It isn't so much about the Pak nerf, it's the compound pressure from rifles + tech squad + M20/light vehicle which requires manpower-expensive tech to deal with when you need squads to fight there and then. And with the greyhound, tech units don't even perform particularly well at preventing wipes.
