Nice logic, the Sturmtiger wipe machine is in a shitty doctrine so its okay. Yeah so I guess the greyhound (which is in literally the worst doctrine in the game) with its old insta-wipe canister shot was fine?
Honestly this forum is becoming such a cesspool its hilarious. Please try and stop being so protective over the single faction you play. The Sturmtiger is literally at the #2 spot this patch in bullshit rating.
Any unit that can literally destroy multiple squads/tanks from FOW in 1 single shot is broken beyond belief. To make things 100% worse, it can even shoot through shot-blockers which is just hilarious. protecting it religiously like yourself and Alex are doing is just embarrassing.
I'm not defending the unit you fanboy, I just stated that I don't understand why people like yourself think it's OP. Nurf it to oblivion, I couldn't care less, OKW can do fine without it, it could not exist at all. I don't use it. Its just you guys, crying like women around anythíng prevents you to obtaining your beloved place in the ladder and a sweet victory against "OPW"
Red, Iron, don't give me examples that happen once in a week, month, etc. You got 3 tanks or you could get none. For me, OKW tanks means PZIV and Panther nothing more nothing less (okay, maybe puma sometimes). Hardcore units, that you can rely on, not spectacular rng shit. But this is my way of seeing things, I am a practical person.
And Red, if you waste your sturmtiger rocket on a single squad, vetted or not, I see now your idea of "efficiently" using the sturmtiger. You better cease using it this instant, mate 'cause it's clear for me that you use it the wrong way.
As a conclusion I don't think Sturmtiger is gamebreaking. Trying to survive with one super heavy that has one shot against allied armor flood... good luck with that.
Currently the Sturmtiger is essentially a mobile B4 that does alot more damage, this unit is in my opinion a new balance issue.
This unit can be acquired as early as the 15 minute mark, it requires no teching to a tier at all and only costs 560mp and 160 fuel. Its main cannon shot does ridiculous damage and if Im not mistaken will 1 shot anything everytime. It also soaks damage like it's going out of fashion.
So lets talk counters. Relic has extended the fuel requirement for tier 4 as the USF to 120fuel, so getting a tank out at the same time is very hard to do, you have a Jackson at the best, good luck trying to take the Sturmtiger down too a low health value due to Volk support.
AT guns are the worst counter as they provide free XP to the Sturmtiger, static positions just get murdered with ease.
This unit just creates a situation where you cannot move out of the map due to its sheer presence, you lose the map as 4 Volks with shreks just cruize around with the Sturmtiger and maybe a Luchs or some MG's wiping vet 3 Rifle after vet 3 Rifle thus bleeding you out.
Thoughts?
I don't care if Sturmtiger will be changed. Why? Because I never use it. Why? Because comes into a shitty doctrine that has no other ability that worth. Because OKW can do just fine without it. Because you actualy never got to wipe enough of opponent's unit with the rocket, after shot sturmtiger being just a sitting duck. Because I have to cut everything else just to risk everything on a Sturmtiger. Is this telling you something?
What menpower bleed?
They cost as much as grens to reinforce while being considerably harder to kill.
How about use them once actually to see what I am talking about. The only way to put them in your build order is using one - max two squads with upgrades and all. Building more and trying to use them as mainline infantry is stupid and generally a waste of manpower/amo. Elite infantry is not for main army force. Cheap medium infantry is.
