This just reinforces my theory the only people pissed about the Sturmtiger are people who are sad blobbing no longer is piss easy against OKW due to lack of counters.

The sturmtiger is like the B4 precision strike except that it:

Cost fuel and less man power
Does not cost munitions to use
Doesn't require vet
Can't be countered by 2-click doctrines
Can't wipe stationary tanks way behind the front line
Is way better at wiping infantry squads at the front line

It's a laughable unit now; very easy to keep alive and best used to troll people and cheating them out of the game with easy 1-shots every ~90 seconds. The 45 range means it has 10 range more than regular line of sight, making it very easy to just roll it up behind a friendly unit and just wiping anything that unit was in combat with.

The B4 was bad for gameplay, this unit is even worse.

My suggestion: Turn the Sturmtiger into a B4/Priest hybrid
Increase range to 150, increase scatter to match that of the B4, add minimum range of 50. Lets see how that works out.

Let me try your weed.

I can foresee the anti-AVRE thread in September, will be 10X more chaos than this.

It was just a suggestion...

Nobody complains about the B4 or the Priest today. People did complain about the B4 precision strike and now relic has decided to give that ability to on a 45 range vehicle that shoots through everything and doesn't at least have the easy 2-click counter that you can use until it gets fixed.

I don't know what AVRE is so I can't comment on that. Is it going to 1-shot units every 90 seconds?

I cant wait for the AVRE gets the same ability and we get to hear all the axis cries as "its too op it requires no micro or skill" threads.

Just imagine a faster Sturmtiger without any flaws.

Seems legit, I won't put anything past the develops team. They seem to forget every lesson learned in the past after roughly 5 days.

Old windustry T70 rush OP? Great lets fix it and then later on make sweeping changes that make the M5 quad rush completely OP.
B4 precision strike OP? Great, lets fix it and then later on give it to a unit of another faction in a different, but not less effective incarnation.

Edit: would it be breaking NDA to tell me what AVRE actually is?

But that doesn't really sound 10X worse than the sturmtiger, sound more like exactly the sturmtiger... Unless you think the whine will be worse because it is an allied unit.
