I don’t see how the answer to something strong in the meta is literally just OHK. I don’t think it’d be gamebreaking so much as less frustrating and cheesy to make tellers not OHK 60-70 fuel light vehicles. IMO it’d be fair if it left the vehicle with engine damage and enough health to die to a faust.
Despite the fact that it’s much easier to sweep for tellers, losing a light in the midgame to tellers is much worse than losing one of your six infantry squads to a demo. And demos have been nerfed so hard that you’d have to be senile to walk over one with infantry (they literally get countered by a moving and due to small arms) because people said it was cheesy and stupid to lose a squad to one click. You don’t even have to click on a teller to detonate it.
You will see a t-70 in every soviet matchup, and a puma 4/5 times to counter it. Nerfing the teller would buff the t-70 and indirectly make the puma even more necessary as a LV counter for Ostheer. Nerfing the teller would negatively impact the meta and build diversity.
I would like to see the OHK removed from the teller. Soviets and Ostheer are fairly evenly matched right now, and both exploit light vehicles as a significant part of their meta. The meta balance right now means you shouldn't just change the teller without also readjusting other light vehicles. I'd be all for making the teller not OHK the t-70, AEC, and stuart if the t-70 and flame halftrack damage on retreat was toned down.
Equating the teller to the demo is moronic. You can use one sweeper squad to protect your one light tank from mines, you can't sweep every point for all 6 of your infantry squads at the same time.
OHKing lights is lame, but lights are so strong in the meta right now that removing the teller lethality will mess up the faction balance. You already see the puma in 4/5 ostheer matches, it will make ostheer rely on it even more. Need a full overhaul of light vehicle balance if you want to make the teller not OHK them.
Yeah, and why were they barely used? Because they are trash and people in GCS actually play to win. Which proves my point 100%... Not sure what you are trying to say.
Because you are implying that Axis are too strong based on those winrates. USF and UKF may be kinda shit but it's not because of Axis. Panzer tactician is fine.
