Well it wasn't a nerf at least.
Meanwhile, the Sexton continues to cry in the corner.
Along with me in the corner.
Seriously, the damage on those things is a joke. CoH Priest was something to be feared, especially with that overwatch ability

I think it's a good thing that Relic decided to go with only a small patch. If it turns out that the unit overperforms it can be easily toned down and there is no debate over what overperforms since there is only one variable in this change.

I mean Relic is done developing for the game anyway so It's not surprising they would move to the "patch when ever we have something that could be called a patch" model.

Before you go on to praise the AEC-Jesus that will spare the Brits from the stale sniper-spam strategy, consider the following:
The AEC just received a massive buff vs infantry and weapon teams. However, it is not as "bad" as it sounds.
- The AoE distance profile (which determines near/mid/far distances) has NOT been updated
What this means, is that the new AEC will "only" be dealing far-damage to most targets. Vs infantry in the open this damage = 24
Compared to the Cromwell gun:
- AEC deals "only" 75% damage
- AEC fires faster (~4 secs vs ~6 secs)
- Has worse moving accuracy (50% vs 75%)
As always, for best results, use attack ground to plant a shot where it will deal more damage.
The new AEC is a beast.
Are you sure the distance profile is the same?

You can even use em against garrisoned MGs without wasting both time and ammo on both sides.

I love it... Seeing an OKW player reaching for a Pak rather than just expecting to stomp me was, shall we say, a refreshing change.

I builded it for utility using it's smoke to advance on MG's with IC & nades, mobile AT gun and tickling support weapons... nice to see it got better vs infantry and will reflect the high building costs more.
Hope they add more diversity and choices for Brits in the future.

Yes. I just checked the numbers. The distance profile is the same as before. As in, it's not the same as the Cromwell.
Even with this butchered up AoE, you will still find AEC to be quite a beast though. It's quite decent at garrison clearing, which is to say, it's a lot better than what the Brits used to have before...

Small patches like this are what happens when people bitch and bitch and bitch about relic making big changes in the previous patches. That's on all of the whiners that make up the vocal minority.
Small patches from now on should be way to go, since it is literally just minor things and bugs that have to be patched

Remind me what that was exactly?

They really don't want to introduce something game breaking in the middle of a tournament.
