now we have more longer strafing run duration and bigger attack distance. which makes things even more inconvenient despite the fact that it comes less often.
not the kind of nerf i was looking for opel trucks.
now all these heavy splash damage units like brummbar and is2 are more accurate? well, good by infantry.
they made the panzer iv less accurate... not the kind of change it needs still....
almost 3 weeks and these are the changes we get, disappointing but i hope more are to come soon!

The JU-87D Strafing Run now functions as a suppression ability. The loiter behavior was modified to improve the visuals of the off-map and make it more susceptible to anti-air weapons.
JU-87D Strafing Run
• Attacks per aircraft from 5 to 3
• Delay between attacks from 3s to 18s
• Duration time from 48s to 75s
• Target lead in from 50 to 20
• Target lead out from 60 to 20
• Target attack distance from 150 to 225
• Target attack time from 2.125 to 4.25
• Modified UI barrage radius to match the loiter radius of the JU-87D
• Damage from 8 to 2.5
• Rate of fire from 32 to 16
• Suppression from 0.12 to 0.25
• Max range from 175 to 225

Commander Changes are good and bring them more in line with soviets (mortar by might hit the field a bit quickly but we'll see).
htd - can't argue with that.
Hard to tell what the changes to starting run will be like from the numbers and will need testing.
Open blitz - I feel the trucks will still be effective in 1v1 but won't scale like a beast in 2v2+ - pricing might be too steep 250 May be more acceptable (as you would effectively sacrifice a t1 squad for it)
Tanks - look fine the nerf to pz4 will make t34 more viable, t70 makes no sense to me - brilliant looks great and is2/tiger needed it
Hmg changes are good but it rewards flanking with another mg rather than grens/scripts
Tldr: I'm pleased with it.

This was a disappointing patch. T-34 and IS-2 werent even addressed
Well, at least the T34-85's scatter was buffed and P4s nerfed. Though, the P4 needed a bigger nerf.

Read it - is-2 was. T34 will be better as pz4 is weaker

IS-2 had its scatter drastically reduced.

The PzIV is just less accurate at range now... it won't change much for PzIV vs T-34 duels except that you have a higher probability to successfully gtfo.

I'm a little surprised they didn't touch the SU-85 or Stug.
Very much looking forward to trying out this patch.
edit: Also as far as the strafe, it will be a lot less of a pain in the ass, and a lot more susceptible to AA fire. Would be a good investment now to buy a quad gun and try to waste some of your opponent's ammo.

Essentially, they've opened up the field for Soviet tier 3, which was previously under-utilised. I'm hoping that the best part about the notes is the user-input delay being addressed, but will have to wait and test it out really.
If you're referring to the P4's increased scatter...do you really think that will make much difference? I don't see much else that will make T3 more viable for the Soviets.

The pz4 scatter means the t34 won't melt in front of it as quickly. Combined with a zis and the t34s AI capabilities a pz4 won't force you to go straight to t4 (hopefully)
