Are you seriously suggesting you are supposed to lose the game as Axis the moment you lose a vet Pak? You know that Paks are easy to kill and slow? Here is what happened: They were all burnt by the Croc beforehand. Melting through them in 5 secs.
You are beating up a straw man and ignoring my argument. By the time the Croc appears you should have vet on at least one of your AT unit in your army. If you don't, then yes I guess you deserve to be on the back foot yet again and potentially lose. In any case, shooting at max range at crocs will rapidly get vet on paks, which still penetrate crocs reliably, just not every shot. Stugs straight out don't care about the croc because they always outrange it and can disable the gun with an ability they should acquire after no more than 3-4 penetrating shots, if they don't already have vet. Long story short, vet is important so use it to your advantage.
I literally had this match up twice in the same match two days ago, 1 stug and 2 paks, and in both cases I killed the croc as soon as it tried to engage these units. It killed a pak crew on the first try, and nothing on the second try, though it did injure one pak crew. I know
exactly what you are talking about.
To those claiming Allied bias on the forums, please don't bother posting. The post is designed to be used for bait into a flame battle and contributes nothing to the discussion. If you feel a unit deserves some form of balance it makes more sense to place your argument on the table than calling everyone else a baby and crying in the corner. There are plenty of threads on Allied units over performing on this forum, and other buff Axis units on this forum.
