If so, how about poor 222 ?

I said 2 shots. Your replies are a reading comprehension issue.

usually more like 4 since they don't usually start on cooldown.

T0: shoot. First hit
T4: shoot second hit
T9: shoot 3rd hit dead.

+9s

All light tanks survive 2 AT gun hits . You dont need more

Like i honestly cant remember when i lost a light tank to an AT gun. Get sweepers, Dont drive through choke points (even when chasing a retreating squad), dont overextend into the FOW if you dont know whats there, and dont overstay your welcome.

By all means, continue to insult me for no reason. This whole thread, as i see it, is a l2p issue.

Epic fail. Scotts, T70s, skirted M8s, and all 3 AA halftracks get 2 shotted. Stuart was 2 shotted until very recently. The only one I was wrong about was Luchs dying in two shots, something else must have shot it off screen. I was competing at a decent level in coh1 before I even took time to study up on the higher level meta game just because I was out microing most the people I played at around 70apm on a notebook running the game at 20fps. TL;DR my micro > yours and most likely anyone else in this thread that told me to improve my micro.

Cough, T70 can survive 2 shots with the usage of crew repairs. Also, AAHTs are by definition not light tanks, and Scotts are mobile mortars, not tanks.

Light armor is perfectly survivable as is. Maybe T70 could use a buff to 400, but I doubt it.

Didnt know all 3 halftracks were light tanks, thanks for enlightenment. Why are you mentioning that the stuart gets 2 shotted when it doesnt anymore?

I dont give a fuck how "good" you think you are. You are obviously exaggerating if you struggle to micro light "tanks". I dont think you are a bad player, so stop attacking me. It just, in this instance, you dont know what the fuck you are talking about.

Thread summary: I consider light vehicles tanks and cant micro them so i made a thread expressing my micro issues. Dont disagree with me, cus then ill explain how better i am than you whilst, again, failing to micro them in the best light vehicle patch to-date.

Imagine what would happen if you buff the 222 more? Think about the USF

Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2015, 11:45 AM__deleted__

What do you think will happen to poor 222, ostheer in general and OKW Puma if only allied light vehicles get buffed?

Early allied domination galore?

USF still has stuart, that can fight puma with vet 0 stun and laughs at puny 222

are you seriously saying that the Stuart is OP?

Luchs, Scott, T70, Stuart, etc. They have some good killing potential, but need to stand up slightly better to AT imo. Gettin two shotted by Zis and Paks is a bit too harsh, they should survive just a little bit longer so that they have maybe 10-20% hp left after a second hit. If you drive in to an AT guns arc at all it is usually dead unless you were driving across it at full speed, because even with instant reaction to seeing it, it can get off two shots before you can change direction or drive through it a lot of the times. Basically it should take a little bit more active effort to kill them, right now the burden falls more on the person trying to keep it alive because they die as quickly as infantry died to FHT during the beta glory days.

For when they hit the field the super early game vehicles (Kubel, M3, etc) have a similar life expectancy if not better. Of course you can keep them alive a very long time if you only passively use them to target the solo squads that are trying to back cap you, but using them in flanking timing pushes is almost too high risk, because one surprise ATG in a place you weren't expecting it will get off the second shot more often than not even when you immediately react to it.

Not saying that overall they are underpowered because some of them (Quad, T70, Luchs) are way too efficient at just driving on a capping squad and killing it 90% of the time in retreat, but thats another topic and I'll address that later.

The Stuart isn't OP, but it is in the best position it has ever been.

Most of this thread seems to be L2P issues. Halftracks are very cheap so them dying in two AT gun hits is fine, all the light tanks that require actual fuel invest take 3 AT gun hits to kill.

If you come in to someones thread saying "micro better" or whatever when you completely failed at reading every post, you're going to get put in your place. Notice its only you.

Reading comprehension fail, again and again. For the 3rd time, the majority of mid game vehicles get 2 shotted. I even mentioned Quad in the OP, so if you couldn't pick up on the fact that by "light tanks" I was talking about mid game vehicles, it should have been extremely fucking obvious when I included a halftrack as an example. Reading comprehension fail #2 you said I was not microing units well because I allowed them to die in 3 hits, even though in OP I said I was killing these units with 2 hits (with the exception of T70 which I said I lost, but I was right about it getting 2 shotted.) If you come in to someones thread saying "micro better" or whatever when you completely failed at reading every post, you're going to get put in your place. Notice its only you.
