Unfortunately, if you want this change, making a big thread calling for its change won't do you any good. Casters are still going to call it t0. Streamers are still going to call it t0. Barely any of those people who perpetuate the nomenclature will be reading this thread. I say it's either too late to change since it's already ingrained in CoH2 culture, or if you really really want to try to change it, the only option is to become such an influential CoH2 player that you change up the terminology yourself through sheer use.

That explains my confusion. I try to respect others' opinions, but there is a big difference between "su-76 is OP" and "su-76 has the same gun as the t-70."

Apparently the Kubelwagen got buffed a lot against snipers a patch ago. Bigger detection range and accuracy vs. snipers. I haven't tried it myself, but maybe consider that option?

Su76 and T70 were both a light vehicle option, depending on tech choices. You'd choose one or the other with tech. Now that both come from the same building, there's no reason to get a su76 ever.

I'm not entirely sure you know what you're talking about. You're basically saying something like, "Now that Combat Engineers and Conscripts are in the same building, there is no reason to make Conscripts." It makes no sense! You need Engineers for flamers, building wire, mines, sweeping, repairing, and building. You need Conscripts for fighting and being versatile core infantry.

Likewise, T-70 is a light tank that specializes in anti-infantry. You get it if you want some major harass and to try to bleed the enemy or wipe his squads, as well as transition into a late game map hack. You get the su-76 if you want a light TD to fend off your enemy's tanks and have additional barrage options for his infantry. You're not going to be running around with an SU-76 to try to wipe squads. You're not going to sit a t-70 in the back to snipe medium tanks.

Situations like Soviets needing a light harassment vehicle AND protecting it with a light tank destroyer can come up and it does very often in this game. I just can't wrap my head around why you would think that, just because you have a t-70, there is no reason to increase your AT capabilities, or if you have an SU-76, you won't need a harassment / recon vehicle.

I preferred the old tech as well.

As it is now, Soviets can't spend much time in t3 because they're pressured to go t4. There's not much reason to get an Su76 over a T70 either anymore. Slightly better vs vehicles but not much, and the T70 has godlike infantry sniping potential. I suppose you could try and counter tanks with AT guns and Su76/mines, but one mistake and you're done. Considering the Su76 cost almost the same as Stug... it's pretty underperforming.

I liked the versatility the old tech had.

The problem was the call in units should have required a t3/t4 structure to be built before being able to be called in. If it wasn't for the commanders all having a billion tank call ins it would have been fine.

It's also way too easy to pair up T34/76 with Su85 now. Having both on the field around the same time is really strong.

Re: this post, I can't quite put my finger on it, but I disagree with everything you say. Why are you comparing su-76 and t-70? They are completely different units and I see people getting both in one game. You say t4 gets rushed too often? On the contrary, I feel like the meta is to go t3 and then rely on a kv-8 or is-2 for late game.

And did you say a '76 and an '85 is a strong combo? It's the weakest medium tank with one of the most underperforming TDs. Having two together won't magically make them super strong. Literally every tank / TD combo is stronger. P4 / StuG. P4 / JP4. Sherman / Jackson or M10. Cromwell or Churchill and Firefly. Compared to literally any other faction, a '76 and an '85 is the weakest by far.
