Needs cost increase to 90 or 100, or should only be good vs snipers.
Right now ITS A FUCKEN 2013 50 fuel T70 with smoke.
Nerf it NOW.
Ostheer is unplayable cuz of this ugly little shit vehicle. Pak is a piece of shit, only a blind person could lose their AEC to a pak. 222 is sand paper. gets blown away in 2 hits. Maybe 222 spam is a good idea. Shrek pgrens might be a good counter but I'm scared cuz this thing snipes better than any vehicle in the game, and probably comes before you can even get shreks.
That's pretty much everything you can say. +1
AEC is not counterable as Ostheer because of its speed and smoke.
The PaK sucks and needs 3 shots to kill it, while the AEC will retreat with smoke or simply circle the PaK and decrew it with 2-3 shots. The shot blockers (trees and stuff) are the AEC's best friend. And CoH2 maps have plenty of them.
Shreck Panzergrens die like flies. 222 is also a piece of garbage.
Ostheer's Puma commander is also not viable, as the Puma is shit and you're wasting 70 Fuel only to counter the Brit's AEC which will break your neck afterwards. (Being said that the Puma won't win against the AEC with ease).
Katitof's suggestion with Tellermines is also absolutely not viable. You usually have about 90 munition (or less) when the AEC arrives. So you can plant ONE SINGLE Tellermine. If the AEC does NOT hit that particular mine, it is literally gg. As soon as the AEC is behind your lines, you can surrender.
Osttruppen is also no viable counter because not everyone (including me) has Osttruppen.
I (as a 'regular skilled' and absolutely no pro player) have not won a single game against Brits in 1v1 as Ostheer since the patch.
