Ostwind's penetrations

Yeah instead you'll whine about an argument from one person as if the entire community supports it. Do you at least agree the Ostwind might need a cost increase? *

It could always do this. I remember doing troll builds of only Ostwinds back in 2015 in 1v1 for fun. They (3 to 4) could pretty easily fend off a T34 or 2 to 3. The point now is that you tested it in a vacuum where nothing else is added.

Wanna laugh? You can add the reload and suppression bulletin to the ostwind and give it even more insane performance lol.

I remember 6-8 Ostwind packs back in 2004.
Massive Ostwind blobs was def a thing in 4v4 COH1.
Bonus: Only... 40? Were built

Maybe the word you seek is "reliable" instead of 'best'. A single Pz4 shot is as effective as shermans AP.

No.
All Sherman's AP rounds AoE radius : 2
Pz4 AP rounds AoE radius : 2.5

not 'as', more.

Sherman HE rounds AoE radius: 4.

Why are you shooting infantry with the Sherman's AP rounds again?

Because you can engage tanks with minimal loss in AI. it's less for sure, but not really enough to warrant being at a loss if a tank turns up. It's certainly not a AT tank level of drawback (0.75 radius) so it's a fairly safe bet.

When playing UKF, I try to consider using Centaur but I really do not any reason in using it because the Cromwell which costs 110 fuel. It only costs just 10 fuel more than a Centaur.

It has more capabilities and it is definitely better for its price.

Why the hell a 100 fuel for Ostwind and Centuar. Are you really kidding me!!!

The Centaur is way more powerful against infantry than the Cromwell.

+1 to reduce 10 Fuel from centaurs as @Balanced_gamer said.
He's right you know.

So, what does it matter when Cromwell is also good against infantry but to a lesser extent. Mainly it has the capability to take on Tanks which Centaur cant even do.

I would rather go for something that is overall more self-sufficient, better for its price.

Now, there is really no incentive in using Centaur because of its current price as I just stated. It would make more sense if it were 20 fuel more difference. Since it has 1 capability only which is infantry.

Makes more sense for vehicles that are specialists to be cheaper than generalists.

For just 10 fuel difference, I take Cromwell anytime.

I used to think the same thing.

Then I saw Jae's posts about the Centaur, so I decided to try it.

These days I'll always go Centaur if I think I can get away with it.

It's the difference between driving off infantry with a Puma and driving off infantry with a Luchs.
