I heard somewhere on this forum that it's Wher design that axis should have all the tools to win in its tier 3 building and in theory should not have to tech up to tier 4.

How much truth there is in that statement I do not know but what I do know is that the stug is underperforming. I see 2 possible ways to make it more viable and maybe lessen lategame Panther spam.

1. My preferred method would be upping the range to that of similar TD's. It would still retain all its weaknesses like low armor, no turret, and what seems to me sometimes bad accuracy.

2. Upping it's anti infantry damage to make it less of a early game risk. This reflects the older stug design of being a generalist. I think this option is less desirable though.

Yeah, a 60 range StuG would easily be at least 110 fuel value. I worry though that a 60 range StuG would negate the late game need for pak and make countering the brummbar very difficult-particularly with spotting scopes.

Damage from 16 to 14 and compensating with higher accuracy is a slight adjustment, not a "nerfbat". Besides the fact that I think you are overreacting, we're already ahead of you and also plan to buff the sniper's aimtime and increase the suppression on the Vickers a tiny bit to compensate the slightly decreased IS performance. Amongst other things.

Let's see if we can get this discussion back on track a bit. Here's what we currently have in mind for the next patch:

We acknowledge that Infantry Sections are overperforming, but that they are also the cornerstone of the UKF, so we'd like more to alter them rather than straight up nerf them. Still, some other units will probably get a minor buff to compensate for this.

Preliminary changes:


Additionally, we might look into fixing the reduced range for their grenade when suppressed (which currently doesn't work) and reduce the sight bonus that the pyrotechnics upgrade gives to make blobs less powerful.


From the few tests I did, Tommies still felt strong in cover but more vulnerable when caught in the open by OKW infantry. They also felt less powerful against LMG Grenadiers in the open and when in cover. With these changes I felt like needing to get weapon racks and double Brens to keep the edge over upgraded Axis infantry, which is currently not the case in live. Bolstered and upgraded IS still dominated infantry engagements.
