following that kind of logic one could also argue that it doesnt seem to be a problem... if noone used it that way, it cant be too effective, can it? otherwise everyone (especially with money being involved) would use it
funny thing is that its only a problem now, after someone started a thread about it being able to shoot without setting up at all (which is wrong).
and i dont think its better than a luchs. more fire power sure, but it wont wipe squads while driving away in reverse, it wont circle strafe at guns and its less durable (smoke increases is survivability but doesnt actually improve its durability)
anyways if its that big a problem for many ppl it should be changed (again: it never was that effective when i played against it, despite it being used in this manner)
it have never been effective against anyone because nobody is trying hard to abuse this bug, because very few people know about it, everybody, even myself, are still using the unit taking to much in consideration its design philosophy, its low mobility, its intention to be a defensive more than offensive unit, set up time, etc, but it seems like it can be used pretty much like a luchs. totally broken.
