Since WBP (the patch before DBP) I've considered my former favourite unit to be chilling out with the Valentine in the trash bin of CoH 2, at least as far as 1v1 is concerned.
However, with a certain big purple tournament putting the development of the metagame on fast forward I've suddenly seen all sorts of unicorns running around high level 1v1 streams. I've seen DevM roll out the IS-2 of all things and more recently I've started to see a certain sidelined light tank cropping up again in high level USF builds.
So, top players! What's your assessment of the Stuart's value these days? When do you get it? When does it work, when doesn't it work?

Not a top player but it's really good vs Okw mechanized. I find it very easy to keep alive because it takes 3 hits and it wins 1v1 vs the puma if you use stun. Also fends off the luchs and wins infantry engagements on the flanks.
I guess it could also be good against scout car spam but generally speaking it's pretty trash vs wehr and you're better off rushing a sherman if you went captain (which you shouldn't have done in the first place).

I'd say Rank 24 on the 1v1 USF automatch ladder counts.

I think it works best when you use airborne doctrine for those sweet .50cals. Nothing is worse when OKW just blob rolls over your Riflemen. Stuart is more of a safe option against OKW due to the fact mechanized got buffed and Stuart + AT gun can easily wipe the flak half track or luchs. On the other hand Stuart doesn't do much against enemy infantry and they can counter your Stuart build with heavy infantry one.
Now I do love it when it comes to late game as the utility it brings is amazing with great los and it's stun shot to help out with those panzer 4s and panthers.

I think the Stuart is a poor man shield that is neither good vs infantry or lvs.
I don't know how you can say it is good vs HT or Luchs since they are always supported by snare and raketen vs OKW. At least it does the job of keeping them from being too agressive, but that's all.

Just saying, patch previous to DBP was GCS emergency patch (April 28 IIRC). WBP was March 27th patch (again IIRC).
On topic so I don't get flamed for saying just that ^: Stuart is a safe option vs OKW, but it really has little place vs ostheer IMO. I find it can get overwhelmed by 444 if you're not careful and gren faust range is rather large.
Against OKW its a good counter vs their lights, but I wouldn't get one premptivly.

Major patch then. The GCS one was just a Maxim change if memory serves.

SHOUT IT OUT!
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.

Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.

Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
