Hotchkiss

I'm not convinced that Ostheer really needs a light tank, what with reliable snares and powerful AT guns to cover the early game.

However, if it were a fight between a PzIII and a CoH1-style Hotchkiss, I'd vote for the Hotchkiss. The rocket launcher upgrade would reward players for preserving a light tank by allowing it to switch to a different role, and it would allow Tier 3 play to become a little more robust with some rocket artillery.

We really need core balance and redesign more than new shit, but I digress.

I vote yes because I have reawaken from a catatonic state from the spirit of Kaitof-Kenobi pleading me for help by insults

Also, I just like the thought attaching rockets to miniature tanks

A standard hetzer or Jadgpanther would suits the late ww2 scenario better, but if many ppl demands it, lelic will release it for money

First off all. Tripwire so gud, 10 ammo for a whole dead squad ? + sight.
Vehicle capture point can win games, blitzkrieg save a tank. Fair Deal i think

I suppose it can be a doctrinal tank for OKW/Ostheer and works similar to how T-70/ Greyhound/ Valentine is: light scout tank with powerful AI. It can bust a M20 and fend off a Stuart, but anything bigger and it's crumpled scrap heap. Puma by comparison would be the faster and longer ranged but lighter armour counterpart.

I don't think it should have the Walking Stuka upgrade, that unbalances everything.

I will simply lol at anyone expecting such a change to a 2 year old general use infantry.
Equally possible are pershing for USF, IS-3 for soviets or ober nerf for OKW.

Does it really have that penetration? Cause I'd like to try it as well if it still performs as good as in the video.

That video he went the tank hunter company that has access to the armor piercing rounds, which I guess works pretty well on the Hotchkiss.

The CoH wikia says it's unaffected tho.

Welp, I dunno then. I definitely wouldn't expect them all to pen the front of the Pershing reliably without help, but I don't actually know the stats.
