It has one additional advantage against the other vehicles, besides being a generalist
And that is: Surviving two AT shots instead of dying with the second one, so its more of a long-termer, while having really tiny shock value
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Oh, you mean like literally any other light tank and light TD arriving at that time?

I reckon he meant for the US.
M20, Greyhound, and Flak track survives 2 hits only.

The stuart is in an entirely different tier now (and comes 10 fuel earlier), and that kind of change can do wonders for a units spot in the meta. At the least, I think more time is needed to tell whether the stuart actually needs a change or not.

Not to be a stickler but isn't it only 5 fuel earlier? Used to be one-time 60, now it's 35+20 right? I
I will say it's really nice having it with MGs. The flak HT and stuart were previously redundant with the. 50 and AT gun respectively. Which I think is what you're getting at about the new tech opening the Stuart up as more of an option

Why not add a .50 cal upgrade (similar to Sherman) so that it can at least fight off infantry? Or even better, improve ROF and/or damage. Or give it the canister shot. There are many alternatives out there.

Ive actually believed the stuart is disliked because of how much of a generalist it is.
Its moderate anti infantry (it will force off capping units; yes, this does take a fair while). Its moderate anti tank that keeps anything less than a puma from doing what it wants to do. Its moderate utility, with its engine and stun shot. With veterancy, its scouting as well.
The thing is, in my opinion, its 70 fuel price tag is a result of its performance in ALL of these areas, and getting value out of this unit means utilizing it in every single one of these roles. While I definitely wouldnt say its in the best spot power wise, it helps if you dont think about whichever light vehicle you would rather have in the given situation, because the stuart will never be the preferred vehicle in a given role.

ROF and damage make it better against everything not just infantry. We had a Stuart that could insta gib infantry. It was bad.
If you want to increase its AI performance you need to simply take a page from the T34 and increase MG damage slightly. All tanks except specialists should mostly rely on mgs for AI because it's reliable and not bursty. There is time to respond and punishment for those that do not AND it's effected by cover (instead of strengthened by cover clumping) so it adds a tactical elemt of... Taking cover.
Getting caught in the open by a tank should be devistating not a dice roll.

Damn, good point with those MGs vs Main gun
BTW Id still rather see buffs in the utility and survivalability departments

and also, surprisingly, the stuart is a good counter to flakpanzer rush.
