This unit 1 shots squads so often its not even funny. Even on retreat it very often wipes squads. PLEASE relic stop making units that are designed just to squad wipe.

Excuse my terrible quick answer - the m8a1 "scott" is built off of the m5 stuart chassis.

The problem is that thanks to the new grouping a lot of things are one shotting squads rather easily.
The easiest fix would be to introduce a loose formation button on infantry squads.

This tank has simply too much splash damage and accuracy. Even on retreat it consistently wipes entire squads.

Needs to be in the game, late game USF have no other option to effectively counter Vet5 volks and ober squads.

Worst argument you can pretty much have is X is hard to deal with so I deserve to have a squad wipe machine. Obers dont just sneeze and wipe your rifle squad.

Your right, they don't need to exert that much air to wipe them. A simple glare or light breathing will do it.

The Scott is extremely potent against infantry and light vehicles but it cannot stand up to anything medium or bigger. 70 fuel is a pretty big investment too.

The stuka is fine; that thing missing so often it's insane. In my last game alone I had at least every salvo miss entire squads that were somehow standing right underneath the rocket. When the RNG is right, it's amazing, but the rate at which it actually hits stuff (especially in cover) is so low it's not even in the same league as the M8A1.

Dat Relic Ninja Nerf power...

They literally nerfed the shit out of the Stuka zu Fuss and never made a single patch note about it. It's criminal.
