M5 Quadrush

The FHT upgrade was never made because there is no use for a short range low health unit in the late game.

I don't understand why some people keep bringing up the FHT. The two units are worlds apart. Just because something did not work for one of them doesn't mean it won't for the other.

The quad still works well with mediums around. Check your facts Katitof.

I rushed an M5 into the enemies base yesterday and killed his Stuka lol. Yeah something needs to be fixed with it's damage.

The quad upgrade should just require T4.

Quad upgrade at T4 will make the M5 stay relevent in the lategame, because unlike the FlamerHT it has long range, supression, and helpt to deal with loitering planes.

As long as you don't keep it in any kind of direct combat.

You could still have Flame HT on the back of the paks with meds rolling out, you just wouldn't be getting anything combat related out of it due to 2 shot threat.

The M5 has long range and suppression. Why can't you get this through that thick skull of yours?
On top of that, the M5 has HUGE reinforce radius as it gains vet. You can move it far back if things get dicey and still reinforce your units fighting on the front line. It is a much, much better lategame unit than the flamer halftrack. Both in terms of firepower and in terms of utility.

Moving the Quad upgrade to T4 will not make it useless. It will not make the M5 a bad investment. What it will do is not make the M5 Quad the absolute best no-brainer unit in the whole damn game, and actually turn it into a balanced unit that scales well throughout the game.

I agree with Aerohank. no matter what part of the battle i always get at least one m5 quad because its such a god damn good support unit.

Katitof you dont understand the value of this unit it seems

Oh I perfectly do.
I fully realize its too strong against lights(2x222 should beat it, not necessarily without a loss of one, but should win), but its AI performance isn't any different to that of any other AA halftruck, long range, suppression, great damage, M15 needs to be stationary for full power, but is effective against all light armor, 251 needs to be stationary, but can erase squad in single burst if they bunch up and have smoke for easier escape, M5 can reinforce, but doesn't have combat scaling as opposed to the two others, M5 also have different cost distribution as what you're paying in fuel for other two comes up in munis for M5.

Plain and simple.
Remove reinforce ability after quadmount is installed.
Same should go for the Wehr halftrack.

Clearly everyone here thinks that you're the n00b and not Zyllen
