Well, you choose.
Either scaling, but unable to get vet reinforce platform, or non scaling damage monster.
Same deal with soviet M5.
This.
Also mentioning that once any tank hits the field, the flame halftrack's reign of terror is over.

In the world full of free beginning faust, T0 AT, early volk shrecks, every ally light vehicle look like garbage and ally light vehicle is even weaker than the axis varient at the same time. So gardening balance.

It has only one role, to get cancerous HMGs out of buildings.
And guess what, that utility will be totally removed next patch. RIP.

its not a choice, because it literally is impossible to vet that thing without the upgrade
a non upgraded vet 2 or vet 3 halftrack is just not going to happen
ever

It has happened, I'll try to pull up a replay, but it might be in a 4v4. Its a rare sight, if used conservatively.

like...actually you know what you can do? Go into live games, for 1v1 and 2v2: check the highest ranked games. watch about 10 of them.
and tell me how good the flame HT is, or if you see it built at all.
playercard pls

Sorry mate but Lol back at you.
Did you watch the replay i posted? Did you see who was playing? Was it not a top 10 Axis player or what?
Did he or did he not waste 560 Manpower of his opponent till the 16th minute in only 10 seconds?
Did he or did he not could have finished the game after 20 minutes because of that (if he build P4s instead of teching to T4)?
And you call your self a strategist? Sorry my friend but you seem to be a little biased, but maybe i am very wrong. Not trying to be offensive, just saying.
P.S. IMO most of the top players don't use it so much because its a cheese unit at the moment. l

In the same video you link the commentator talks about how no one really builds the halftrack, lol
As for the Brit player .His 6 pdr or any kind of AT was late. He had almost 600 mp when he first noticed the halftrack. He could've had an AEC before the halftrack upgrade even finished, actually.
Maybe if you got out of imperial Danes ass crack and played the game, you would know that.
And how am I biased.... Where do you see bias? Towards ostheer? ??? Now I'm biased towards axis? I've heard it all.
and then you have the nerve to resort to "attempting" to insult me, though let me tell you I'd actually never get offended by someone who doesn't even have the NUTS to post their playercard. Lol

A unit that whipes a full health squad in 5 sec is bad, thats what i am saying.

I can go on and on about how wrong that sounds(4v4 I'm guessing? O_o )
like...actually you know what you can do? Go into live games, for 1v1 and 2v2: check the highest ranked games. watch about 10 of them.

Because this unit in its current form is one of the most easily countered and anticipated things in the game. It's so obvious that it's coming thanks to the upgrade time, like the minute you see a 251 you just assume flame HT or a really aggro halftrack strategy, both countered by units I mentioned in my last post, though I forgot guards, partisans, mines, and the most obvious counter, an early AT gun in the right spot. There's probably more counters.
Not to mention it has a very distinct engine sound that can be heard in the fog from a mile away... So it's like, if you hear it.... Make sure you're ready to fukin move..
For the Ost player, It denies early LMGs. Makes healing an issue. It denies early tellers. It may even prevent fausts from being fired if 1v1, It denies early shreks. All of which are stupidly key to keeping that thing alive anyway. Ostheer is so reliant on that early 120 muni for things that are actually worth a damn vs people with a brain it's not even funny.
If they fix it's broken anti garrison it will be free exp, lol

My thoughts exactly. The heavy munition drain early is super aggressive and can easily be a game ender for Ostheer if Allied player just techs At (ANY TYPE, LOL).
Just use Partisans to snare and annihilate it,Tech piats on Sappers, hell get a light vehicle to run right up to it and mow it down, Ostheer player won't have muni to snare you LOL.
Think outside the box people other than this thought pattern: "FLAME HALFTRACK OP BECAUSE BURN PEOPLE IN BUILDING, PLEASE NERF FLAME RELIC."

With the balance preview, the wasp upgrade gives it a flamethrower in addition to health buff and other buffs too making it more beefy. UC itself is also a lot cheaper fuel wise, and comes out even faster.
The balance preview also nerf the flamer HTs dmg against Garrison's but buffed its overall performance. Flamer HT + 222 can sort of be seen as Ostheers "light vehicle" but split between two vehicles. AT (222) and AI (flamer HT).

Well I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you at least until my previous post. It's just the way I talk sometimes.
I'm not judging off playercard, sorry if it seemed like it.
personally I think rank is a factor in whether or not someone knows what they're talking about, but not the main factor by any means, you can be rank 500k and be intelligent and just lack the micro or something like that.
I'm not assaulting your personal life, so again I'm sorry, but your bolded quote above is wierd, there's plenty of cases where a unit will be wiped in 5 seconds or less thanks to Inattentiveness or bad play...an assault engineer can clear a building mg in 5 seconds too if you don't play your mg right. There's a million other cases of it but you know what I mean hopefully.
You can't just say "stuff shouldn't die fast". Stuff should definitely die fast if you play with it wrong haha, Sherman dies in 5 seconds to double pak, should we nerf amoving paks? No!

both the wasp and the 251 flamer are useless.
the difference is the ost have other means of clearing house. They can use pio flamer or mobile mortar to get people out of building.
the british have to build a mortar emplacement, which everyone hate.
