new AEC is overpowered

Why is it OP firesparks? Got any replays were a AEC has wiped your entire army as a shock unit?
440mp+65 fuel for something that deals less damage than a T-70 and dies just the same from two pak shots.

Put a shrekked volk in a building and then suddenly this "Stuart on steroids" is hopeless.

Really it's a pretty dumb comparison when the AEC has less health, no instant crew repairs, no working stun/snare and is more expensive

Why is the solution to every problem with allied units volks with shreks? Much of the debate here is based off of it's effectiveness against Ost, who cannot get AT quick enough to counter it. Please people I'm begging you, don't look at balance only against OKW.

I asked for a serious game and you gave me a 4vs4 cheesefest (with some of the best 4vs4 players delivering the cheese)

I'll give you a 1vs1 and you can use the ever so OP AEC against me if you wish, I'll play Ost



That above suggestion goes to you too, I'll show you how early Ost AT can counter a light vehicle (they've been doing it for a year vs USF m20/AAHT after all)

You mean the patch that was released for preliminary testing where OKW was found to be wildly over-performing, but was then released in spite of that, and had to be patched within a few days to prevent player base from quitting?

Yes people did complain about that immediately because they had already played it for at least a few days and often for more than 1 week.

6 mintues into the game. There Is a rushed AEC, utility car and t70. The Americans recieving an extra unit with the tech for the utility car, the British having a offensive unit to start with for range and God mode in cover... it's tiring rushing tier 2 for a 5 minute light tank. Let's not forget the zooks that come with the utility car.

quoting this for truth

it's fine and actually needed for the OKW volksblob meta, but it's tilting the field against wehrmacht. it basically forces a pak response as your first unit straight out of T2, that's really not reasonable.

ed: M20/AAHT are much less durable and can be fought with good 222 micro if you see the LT tech, you don't have to have pak out and ready to survive against those the way you do with AEC
