Halftrack-Type Vehicles Vet Needs Reworked

It does 160 dmg on penetration, as any other tank and 80 dmg on deflection, 80 more then any other tank.
It also have pretty decent penetration, high enough to pen all med tanks reliably except ez8.

It beats by a long shot dozer sherman in AT while having better AoE for AI.
The two things people can complain about here is armor OR range and pathing.
Brummber doesn't get half the credit it deserves.

Agreed.

Since the changes to halftrack upgrades no longer reinforcing, half of the vet 2 and 3 bonuses are redundant.

Perhaps for example: Sdkfz251 flamethrower halftrack
Vet2 = increased move speed and rotation (partly current vet3 bonus)
Vet3 = increased armour and +10 health (to make it just a little more survivable in the late midgame / lategame - the extra armour should significantly reduce small arms damage)

Thoughts?

Good suggestion for Flame HT, but if I decided to keep it unupgraded for field reinforcements, I'd pick +reinforcement range over +HP and +Armor, because it is safer not to get hit at all.

If only we could know if it is possible to separate vet bonuses for these two states of unit.
