Why should 17P cost fuel and cannot shoot through wall?

I would rather decrease the MP cost of Pak43 and the LeFH and add a fuel cost to be in line with the Brits emplacements.

Aslong as they get brace.

And arnt de-crewed in 2 sniper shots or 1 molly..

Ost ostwind and OKW ostwind cost the same, one is doctrinal one is not.
OKW one isn't cheaper because its doctrinal.

Just saying somewhat related example for the argument.

100 OKW fuel is still worth more than 100 Wehrmacht fuel. The doctrinal one is more expensive (objectively) because of its 5 possible vet levels.

Waiting for Relic to overbuff 17 pounder in 6 months when they realize that nobody is building it

Changelog for March 17th Patch

UKF
We found the 17-Pounder to be underutilized and it underperforms for its cost. By increasing the damage, this emplacement is more viable to use as a stationary tank-killing platform as its 20 population hinders the rest of the faction's mobile force

QF 17-Pounder Emplacement damage increased from 320 to 450

The problem is the Emplacements are completely different. British Emplacements are built to last, they die quickly because Ost and OKW pull significant resources to kill them. On the other hand, the Pak 43 can be decrewed by light artillery fire or small arms fire, and can even by 1v1'd by a Churchill Crocodile or A.V.R.E. Try using a Sturmtiger against a 17 Pounder, at best you get away with a damaged tank and the emplacement is still alive (braced, the only reason you got away).

I can't wait to use it in team games.

20 popcap is wtf really. a fifth of popcap that has to be at one place. rear enough to protect but forward enough to deal shots. which means an active 17 pounder will always will be in range of light indirect fire, which all emplacements are very susceptable to. 20 popcap is way too much imo.
