What happened to the M8 Scott?
Posts: 474
Using it myself, I rather get a sherman if I had 30 more fuel. So is it the price or is its performance just terrible over all right now?

This unit is on extinction levels of ever being seen. I remember scott meta being popular but now... they just all disappeared

It lacks Area of effect imo, even when vetted it lacks a certain oomph! comparing it to the sherman, which can whipe squads who are damaged reliable.
It's not even that punishing to blobbers because the area damage is so tiny. Sure people say get 2 but that's way too big an investment vs the new OKW.
Not to mention how hard it gets countered by the JT and pak43.
Anyway, when I choose the persing doc i always rush the scott so you can still get the pershing out at 13 cp without delaying it by spending too much fuel.

Scott doesn't perform badly per se but its not enough of a game changer to buy often except in certain situations such as on Langresaya or a stale-mated Minsk Pocket where the map lets you park your Scott in a relatively safe location to break a dug-in opponent. Otherwise its easier to just use a Sherman's HE shells and have the versatility to also have decent AT.

Though, it was exactly the kind of RNG rage inducing unit in the past that we all hated.
It needs a buff for sure though.

It's too bad, I used to really like the Scott.

Won't increase OHK radius, but increase consistency against spaced out targets.

-no window of opportunity
-inconsistent damage
-Scott VS Sherman, Sherman better choice 90% of the time
-most people go Captain with access to Pack Howitzer, Scott is not needed.
Scott becomes available at a time when you don't need it, Jacksons for hard AT or Sherman for AI. Riflemen with upgrades already does enough AI on its own.

See the Ostwind thread
-no window of opportunity
-inconsistent damage
Well, it's not as bad as the Ostwind to micro though since it doesn't have to out-range handheld AT by 5 meters and snares potentially by 10 meters. It's not as good when it kites infantry from 50 range instead of 40 range, but it'll still probably do something over nothing.
...aside from having half its health when you do fail to kite right.

IMO it should get an accuracy buff so that it can snipe models better, but not a big AoE to avoid it gibbing squads from afar. Or maybe more health so it can survive in the frontlines longer.

Give it Suppression, problem solved.
Suppression for M8 = Suppression for pak howitzer and leig

Right now everyone is going for p4's and jagdpanzers, scott with it 320 hitpoints can't survive this.
Low durability turns this unit into borderline useless.
Increase it hitpoints.

The Scott needs the following:
1. Slightly more HP so it can take 2 hits and be on 10-20% health, not dead.
2. Slightly lower firing angle (to hit faster), or some minor accuaracy/damage improvement.
Remember when USF came out and it was actually awesome? That would be cool to bring back again, but it would be OP (it had a mortar which always fired and a direct fire gun which was an AOE laser).

Suppression is a good option, since it's not early-game, nor spammable like ISG and maybe bettr accuracy?
I havent seen this unit for... hmmm 8months?
And until I saw this thread, I truly forget this unit still exists
