Are you aware of Valentine?
Are you aware it had same vision as former UHU, but with shorter range and wider cone at first?

Also, command vehicle recon:
-had increased CD
-had slapped muni cost for it
-can't be used on UC, you have to sacrifice AEC at the very least, making it that much more expensive

Lastly, constant, wide cone vision >>> narrow single pass plane on long CD.

Reverting the mutual exclusiveness with the Tiger II is not unreasonable to me, I don't really agree with that either (wasn't on the team yet when that was done).

XP is already way lower than the only comparable unit, the AVRE, at 1400/2800/5600/etc vs 2020/4040/8080. Furthermore the Sturmtiger can have an easier time gathering veterancy by hitting vehicles or even scraping them, because it deals a lot more damage to vehicles than the AVRE does. Not sure why you think it should be even lower.

Its vet 1 ability was just changed to something much better.

I don't think bringing back world piercing is a good idea. The game needs less cheese, not more. It'd be a poor solution that only benefits the user, while making the experience for the receiver significantly worse.


A casemate tank firing a huge rocket is simply never going to be able to be competitively viable (without being overpowered). It's an illusion that it could ever be balanced. It can't. It will always be either overpowered or underpowered, just like similar units like the B4. Relic should have never put a unit like this in the game, but we're stuck with it now. The least we can do is making sure it's at least good enough to use for fun in (casual) automatches, which it is right now as long as the player knows a thing or two about how to aim it. And it'll get a bit better with the added utility and power of the revamped vet 1 ability.

On the topic of the IR Halftrack, we would highly appreciate some tests or replays and proper suggestions about possible improvements. These are first iteration changes that are a proof of concept most of all. As volunteers we don't always have time to extensively test all changes ourselves and need the community to provide more data to finetune values, and this is such a case.

• Simply increase the vision to match the length of the visible search light that scans the map.
  
• Replace the 'Detection' ability (it will not see any use) with either a passive aura or AOE timed buff to friendly units near by that increases accuracy or something along those lines. Would benefit things like ISGs, TDs, LEFH, etc.
  
• Give the IR HT 5 vet levels and shared vet gain in a large radius, each vet level could add utility abilities (limited range recon flares or single pass plane, camouflage, long range dummy flares, ability to reinforce inf, etc.) or additional bonuses to friendly units nearby (reload, scatter, sight range, etc.).
