Reduce Price of WC-51

Having tested it at 10 fuel awhile back at 0cp, it's definitely not a good idea as you end up with a situation where you can effectively fight it in the first few minutes. If it goes down it price it should go up in CP and be given abilities to allow it to scale into the mid-late game. Or it takes longer to call more trucks in.

Maybe OKW can deal with it as they have raketens, but Ostheer trying to deal with 2 dodge trucks with a rifle riding onboard on the cut-off in the first minute or so of the game that can shuffle in and out for repairs is very difficult to deal with and this is the time when your 3rd Grenadier squad arrives and you may only have the munitions for one faust.

but did you test it with a cooldown on game start like old rifle company vet1 rifles, so that you could create a sweet spot where you had plenty of t1 units as axis, but also a big enough window for the WC51?

while ALSO preventing the possibility of having 2 or more WC51 so early.

How long would said cooldown be, however? The first part of the cooldown will probably be spent of the first rifle squad being trained.

A WC 51 only take takes 30 seconds to be off cooldown so I'm guessing if we were to go with that idea, around 50+ seconds.
