AT gun stealth

It seems the Raketenwerfer has been kinda gamey for a long time. I propose a change that would make the Rak uncloak if it moves. This would help avoid scenarios where it is viable to send "commando" raketens behind enemy lines to take out Rocket artillery, weakened tanks etc, while at the same time preserving the ambush potential of the Rak. It is also one less ability to toggle on and off constantly to re-position. I also believe this should affect the Soviet's doctrinal stealth ability for AT guns. While I am not sure how the promotions for the Rak should be changed should its stealth ability be changed, I am open to suggestions.

I voted yes because jeager AT gun is simply lame as fuuuuuhuuuck. But the rak would need some alterations to ensure that it can still work without being a big brick of smelly cheese.

certainly yes, but it needs compensational buff(s)

If we could cut his vision by half when cloaked that would probably be enough.

Reason for that is it prevent to use it as a scout unit and can't spot for itself when going into hunt behind enemy lines.

Kudos for creative idea.

vision cut in half at all times whilst cloaked or only when its moving?

Maybe giving it the tracking ability at vet 1 instead of faster cloaked movement?

again pak 38,

It was a little unclear in your post whether your proposed pak38 was able to cloak. If it couldn't any more, I would be fine with it as well. If it could stealth, then my previous arguments apply. Though, this would be probably more appropriately discussed on your OKW rework post.

You should have to manually disable the cloak before you retreat, even if the unit is revealed

I think that reducing sight when the raketen is cloacking is a good idea and a possible one too. Just like SU85s change their view range when toggle, something similar could be applied to raks when they go cloaking.
