I'm not here to complain about the DMG of the AVRE, but as others suspected/pointed out, the problem lies with its mobility (twice the acceleration of the ST) aswell as the high HP pool (not a problem in this case but in general).
Elefant has 1040hp (according to coh2-stats) and this ele was ~65% HP (if you pause at 29s you can clearly see it).
The problem is not only that it can escape so easily, but for the dmg it does, it reloads way too fast.
so 5 (almost 6) months of actual multiplayer makes you a good player Kappa. You're telling people with a minimum of 2 years of multiplayer experiense on a high lvl to L2P. Some wire is lose at your head
Well, you don't "need" years to "git gud", just need to dedicate time, play improve etc. Ofc, with an established playerbase it'll take time to become one of the "best", but not years, if you dedicate enough time etc.
Comparing them in a one on one fight doesn't make one better than the other. I've also seen a okw flak HT beat a M5, so it's not as one sided. It's like saying the Zis is OP because it can beat a pak40 one on one.
That being said, I think the quad cannon upgrade should be gated behind T4. The main issue is the timing of it, and since soviets float more ammo, it's really easy to get the upgrade almost immediately when it's built.
I would honestly like to see the replay where an OKW HT beat the M5(with Quad upgrade), it's not possible unless the other person is afk or spamming the stop command on it.
it takes 2 zis shots to kill a kubel, a unit that is t0, costs 240 mp and 5 fuel
it takes 2 pak shots to kill a m5 quad, a unit that is t3, costs 270 mp and 30 fuel, along with the mandatory 120 muni upgrade
balanced game
or you dmg the kübel by 3% with small arms so you can 1 shot it.
We as a community need to really start using the mumble sever for coh2.org as no-one is ever on it. Is this because most people don't use mumble? Maybe we need to change to TeamSpeak or Ventrillo instead. After all at the end of the Vancouver event we did agree to get together more often so let's do it!

Mumble is shit. TS rules. And ventrilo is for people who are still stuck in the 90s. (No hate, but ventrilo UI is clunky, the program, albeit easy to set up, is very annoying and the sound quality is bad)
Yep, I know it's not terribly difficult to kill, I just didn't want to play passive against OKW and let them reach late game to easily, so I wasn't all that keen on the maxims, so I figured a quick ZIS shot will take care of them quickly and let me move on with my game, and the described results made me wonder. Granted I have no idea about playing soviets as this was my 2 game after the break since the Western Armies launch window - so I figured just go with a lot of aggressive infantry play (the game ended with him punishing me with a king tiger, which I had large problems countering - was hard to take away the fuel on langres).
current soviet meta is maxim spam into zis into quad into su76s. -> win. (in a nutshell)
