I find the idea to re-implement the gun upgrade again good. Otherwise the 222 is fine.
This could easily make the 222 worthless again, as you need more than one for them to be effective.
If you have to sink another 110 mun into them, nobody will build them.
What could work however is bringing back the upgrade, but buffing the standard MGs AI and turn the 2cm into pure light AT, allowing for more flexibility.
Or let it cap while unupgraded, or offer another upgrade similar to vCoH's PE scoutcar that turns it into a mobile cache.

- The turret-mounted MG has issues tracking infantry.
Miragefla has fixed this in his mod. If you've tried it, you will see what I mean, and you will also see why Miragefla went for a FU cost increase with the unit.
If your infantry uses a 2-story building and, somehow, the models end up using the top-story windows, the 222 will have trouble firing back.
- There is no attack ground option for 222.
This means jack if you are playing SU. However, USF/UKF can exploit the bug by using the smoke ability on their M20/AEC and using attack ground to fire back (in the case of M20 you will use the bazookas under smoke cover). If the 222 uses smoke, run to the smoke patch and use it against them. The 222 will not be able to fire back.
That's all the wisdom I had to contribute regarding the 666-pocalpyse.

That half-assed, non-english sentence does not prove anything either.

Only i am don't think it's OP?
yes, either because you are a wheraboo or you suck hard at microing them.
I could post several replays where my 222's just do some HEAVY lifting to my economy, on some of them I even use them into the late game.
Also, 222s are unbeatable when they arrive on the field, 2 of them can easily swarm anything the allies have, and with the new health pool you can even survive shermans and cromwells.
Problem is, how the hell do I post replays?

At this point?
Probably mycalliope and zyllen think so too, but their fanboyism knows no bounds, so I'm not sure if you need this kind of support.

I almost don't play suckstheer.
Only thing that is strong about ost is snipers, elephant and bullpudding spotting scopes. 222 with spotting scope is mobile legal maphack. Thats should be adressed a long time ago.

As oposite oh player can always delay t70 or even deny it totaly with active play. 222 is undeniable.

Not to mention the tech cost is cheaper once you include the unit price.
Giving it a slight fuel increase (dont touch MP as ost dont rly float much) would help manage how fast 222s hit the field.
Effectively the 222 soaks up to much damage and would fit better with a price increase rather than a performance decrease

It's not like it's invincible at the time it's deployed. It still takes damage from small arms,
Yes, but its hp poll ensures it won't go down to any small arms unless you mess up and get AT naded, we've covered that already in this thread.
and just about any AT weapon would easily drive it away.
I'd be concerned if it wasn't this way, but you need hard AT to actually counter it, small arms won't do since hp buff.
The HP buff was necessary, but an increase in cost would make it undesirable again due to it delaying further tech.
And why wouldn't it dely your tech?
Less durable vehicles who can't operate independently cost more.
There is not a single balance reason why it wouldn't get cost increase.
Hell, in the original balance mod(the one relic takes from for the new one) it got increased cost, because it deserves it.
Unless you believe 15 fuel units should be able to chase off over twice as expensive lights.
That is like allowing a pair of greyhounds to hardcounter P4 while lowering their fuel cost.
Its not the question "if" it gets cost increase, but "when" it will get it.
One would really need to have blinders tight on his eyes not to see there is something tremendously wrong with cost effectiveness of this unit.
And that is coming from me, the person who supported 222 buff for well over a year now and even made threads on it in the past and we know how often -I- create balance threads.
It's price right now is as perfect as it can get, and it's really difficult to change it without making extremely OP or extremely UP.
Not a single top player will tell you its price is fine, regardless of preferred side played, maybe excluding paula, because he is insane anyway.

Raise price in terms of fuel, but make its coaxial MG actually work so it can effectively ward off infantry and chase snipers.
Exactly.

Things need to be fixed with 222:
- Increase the 222 cost, at least to its previous cost of 230mp 20fuel before ninja change.
- Vet 2 sight bonus must not stacked with spotting scope.
+ 2 , 222 just needs its cost brought in line with performance (though a slight penetration nerf on the Autocannon barring bringing back the Muni upgrade might not hurt either). Its kind of silly that 2 222's can pretty easily take down a T70, AEC, or Stuart for the cost.

They are scout cars, they punch above their class, but cannot take anything back.
Accidentally driving into bofor and it is gone. Accidentally drive into an AT gun and it is gone. Accidentally getting AT naded, it is gone. Get on the wrong side of the flak track? DEAD.
It is a bit powerful for 15 fuel, but anything over 25 would sent it back into the abyss where no one touches it especially since the meta of light tank rush means any more delay in getting a Pz4, Stug or whatever becomes unacceptable.
Dont get me started on Stuart + Shell shock. AND god help you if the enemy has a DsHK.

I guess it took only 30 posts till someone remember that when they buffed their HP, they ninja buff the cost of the vehicle. The HP buff guaranteed an increased cost, not the opposite.
- The turret-mounted MG has issues tracking infantry.
- There is no attack ground option for 222.
Fix/Buff this aspects and just start raising the cost to 230mp 25f. It would still be a net of more HP, better MG, better gun, for just 5f.
