You are completly missing the fact that AVRE is not map dependant what so ever.
Unlike ST, AVRE can always just pop out from any sight blocker (even with some micro with turret already rotated), deliver the shot move back, while ST requare either have to move in and out in a strate line or he would have to rotate increasing its firing time. Also lets not forget that AVRE benifits from Hammer speed boost aswell.
You are missing the whole point of why ST is rated so high by ppl at this moment.
Pop out of sight blocker? ST fire
OUT OF SIGHT. Thanks to 40 range (or 45 after vet up), tragectile collision made almost impossible to fire at out of sight before vet up.
And let's not forget that ST can repair itself thanks to the commander.
Not to mention that if ST is hard to destoy, AVRE is practically almost immortal unless its target by litteraly AT army. Not only it has better frotanl armor then ST, but even the rear armor is hard to penetrate by anything lesser Panther, not counting stugs and JP4 (but good luck getting them to shoot rear to begin with).
Armor is one thing, ST has
1440 with 242 armor. Needs 8 shot to kill. And let's not forget AVRE must get close to shoot, and can't avoid spotted before shot. There is a reason why ppl don't use AVRE much. (TBH UKF itself is not used much.)
Also I dont really unrestand what actually make ST too good right now? Its pretty much the same as it was before, with the only difference being that its now works properly without collision bugs.
You seem to never faced players who was able to play with it properly before the change, trust me it was much-MUCH worst then it is right now, because of how fast projectile was.
Trust me, if Stuka zu Fuss got its UI changed to show where rockets will land, there would have been 1000 theards about how broken it become.
Point is both AVRE and ST should have never existed in a first place. They are always will be either BS or meme units. ST was meme before with 90% of player base unable to use it properly and AVRE was a BS. Now every one can use ST normally and it suddenly OP.
Best case scenario, is to make both AVRE and ST a meme units again, since we have no chance of deleting them from the game anyway.
* Can fire out of sight
* Decrew mechanism removed - reload right after shoot saved 5 ~ 15 sec. compare to previous version
* Slowing projectile yet firing faster actually made shot lands faster than before unless you fire it at the MAX range.
You saying "its pretty much the same as it was before" and "ST was meme before ... now every one can use ST normally" at the same post feels quite contradict to me
