Give Rakken a 'dig in' ability.

To help counteract the lack of mobile handheld AT (the volkshrek blob was cancer don't deny it) I think the rakken needs some form of buff.

My suggestion would be to add an ability similar to that of the 'hull down' ability for tanks.

It would add durability and range add the cost of mobility.

Think of the support weapons for imperial guard in DoW1 and you will get what I mean.....

any thoughts?

The garrison for RW should be improved. The veterancy bonuses for RW only help its cloak making garrison less desirable as the unit vets...

It should have a range of 60 when garrison, be less easy to circle strafe and give the ability to fire all around when in trench/bunker

The performance of the unit is also totally inconstant, it sucks until vet 3 and then it become one of the deadliest atgs (and still very fragile).

Finally the retreat circle need to fixed, one lose the unit before it can even start retreating.

My Suggestion is, just decrease the vet requirements slighty
[faster vet/ more XP]
Never seen a vet3+ püppchen

Just a random point but whatever they decide to do with the rakken, if anything I'd like to see the 45mm AT gun mirror the stats.

+1 M5s really do a number on Rakens...

It would be cool if Rakens got extra range while Garrisoned like Vickers at Vet 1. That... and being able to actually use Prioritize Vehicles while Garrisoned -.-

If it could Prioritize Vehicles from inside of garrisons it would be nice.

It's been a while since i played 1v1, but i do frequently get vet3+ Rak on the higher modes (2v2+), specially after they hit vet1 as they are easier to micro (cloaked all the time).

Prioritize vehicles while in garrison would be good as a starter. On the current patch i do think they are fine, but with the new mod, i think some tweaks might need to be done if PS are removed.

Killing M5s is exactly what you need stealth for. It also works great against t-70. Both vehicles die to 2 shots, so just cloak 2 raketens, sneak up to enemy vehicle, fire and retreat. It never fails.

2 Raketens is a lot of MP in early-mid game ( when M5 can appear) + Clock raketen is very very very slow.
But sometimes if you are lucky enough, it can kill an M5 very quickly yes
