M5 quad is fine and with the nerf to T3485 spam it's actual one of the few things that keep doctrines with guards useful even without callin tanks.
The real problem is Axis that lack mobile light-armor counters to it which should be 222 or luchs.. Puma that lack AI is not fuel cost-effective to counter a 30 fuel unit.
Werh
222 need some tweaking so it has more durability (also to make it a soft counter to snipers+guards+quads):
- Either increase armor (make it less vulnerable to small arms) or
buff HP to 360 and increase cost from 230/20 to 340/30.
OKW
Move the luchs to the mechanized truck:
- Increase cost from 315/50 to 315/90.
- The flak AA ht will still be useful for suppressing and fuel cost-effective vs infantry rather than luchs.
- This change also indirectly open more viable T0/T2/T1 builds that skip T3 and rely on light armor.
- The P4 moved to T3 overshadow a fast T3 luchs.
- With a 90 fuel price OKW can't really spam luchs and USF can have fast captain and 1-2 stuart (more fuel cost effective than going double luchs) to deal with it.
