Thank you for your ongoing responses in these threads Brad.

Do you plan to fix the USF .50 MG? Currently the USF .50 MG is suffering from two distinct problems.

The first problem is that the weapon itself has no MP cost so the crew costs an inordinate amount of MP (35) to reinforce. All other MGs and set-up weapons have an MP cost associated with the weapon that reduces the reinforcement cost of the crew.

The second problem is that the weapon team for the USF .50 MG has 25% more received accuracy than any other weapon team. This makes the .50 MG the easiest MG in the game to decrew.

These two problems combined cause the USF .50 to bleed horrendous amounts of MP to the point it is practically impossible to use.

The .50 doesn't have more received accuracy than any other weapons team

It's 60 seconds as the cooldown ticks down while it's active

No. You are deducting the fuel penalty, not the fuel they do get. It is definitely 160/.33

If they are receiving 33% less than the allies then to make costs proportional you have to add 33%, not 66%.

They receive .66 fuel for every 1 fuel Allies get. 160/.33 is not correct. 160/.66 is the correct equation to use because it shows you what 160 fuel looks like when you are only getting .66 fuel for every 1 fuel the enemy gets. Alternatively you can do 160 times 1.5 since compared to .66, Allies get 50% more.

Noice

And doesn't have to get as close to them and stay as long there, with free repairs while reloading next to truck...

Targeting AT guns with the ST became a bad idea back when they removed the ability for the ST to kill the gun, so AT guns have been the go to counter against the ST for a while, especially since it doesn't really get vet from killing the crew.

Considering how the shot of ST kills more than AVRE one...

No it doesn't, the AoE of the AVRE and ST for killing infantry is almost exactly the same.

ST bounces a hell of shots from Zis too.

At max range the ST has the change to bounce a ZiS gun shot only 19% of the time. At mid range it's 14% and close it's 10% so no the ST does not bounce a hell of a lot of ZiS gun shots.

What's your point? ST/AVRE are not supposed to be countered with pak/zis wall.

Ever since the removed the ability for the ST to destroy the actual gun ZiS wall's have been the most efficient counter.

The only diference is that ST can blow up jackson (which is supposed to be the counter to ST in USF army)

Except the much smaller AoE means you need to land a direct hit, easier said than done.

and AVRE does not with same profile tanks on axis side.

The AVRE is much easier to use, sure it might not be able to pull off 1 shots against tanks but you don't need to baby sit it as much and the ST has to get lucky multiple times to kill enough enemy tanks to pay for itself. With the OKW fuel penalty is worth the equivalent of 242 allied fuel.


EDIT: For reference the ST has a infantry 1 shot radius of up to 6, the AVRE has a 1 shot radius of up to 6.75
