Yeah but it comes at 6cp and can't hurt jack shit (will miss vetted infantry and tickle tanks' paint jobs, even on penetration)
by that time even if it doesn't get blown to kingdom come by a real medium.

And as long as it has the radar ability being able to spam for both fighting and recon reasons it is a bad idea. That is why I suggested limiting radar to one.

In addition my point was not that it should not receive some sort of buff but that comparing to AEC only in DPS is misleading.

Finally If one want infantry kills one can simply use it to crush it one of the best crushes in the game.

The Valentine's capabilities at this time dont warrant removing any of its abilities. It requires supervision by an anti tank gun and AEC or a proper medium. Not to mention when in the recon mode it becomes completely non combative like the IR searchlight half track. Also to point out it takes three barrages to destroy an okw truck, with amble time between to repair. If this commander is steamrolling anyone, the "OP" factor is just an alternative fact for player failure.

How does one spam valentines without getting totally steamrolled?....

Vipper, what are you talking about lol. Thats not planned in WBP or in live version now. you cant spam the Val and win.

Your passive aggressionisnt really needed mate. The Valentine is static with the ability on so you would need 2 to cover one tiny area. and the two together can still not defeat a microed P4. Buffing its gun wouldn't make it a spammable unit as it still lacks the speed and armour to combat a P4. Find a real issue to be upset with.

Now you can not spam them but if ones increases their combat efficiency one has to reduce their utility.

The problem would not be so much in 1vs1 but in large game modes where one could have total map hack and efficient combat units at the push of button.

I think you may have missed my point. I had agreed with smith that a map hack and a shitty tank thing is a cheap, heavy-handed way to make the valentine synergize with the doctrine. Something a little more subtle would be nice, but that would probably (IMO) come with combat improvements to keep the unit's usefulness balanced out.

And what I suggested is to make the Radar ability an upgrade similar to command vehicle limited to one.

Then one can balance the Valentine as medium/light tank and add penalties to radar ability upgrade if one has to, similar to the command vehicle upgrade.

I feel like I'm the only one who's actually tried using the Valentine for combat use.
Seriously, I have real trouble trying to vet this thing but seems to be taking forever....
