It's obvious to anyone who watches Relic's streams that they do not have many people who play their games internally. They are a company without a passion for gaming, which is a shame because the hallmark of a great game is loving and playing your own game. Sure, they have a couple of people in game design / balance that can play, but that's the thing. Their job is to balance / design. They don't have time to extensively play and find out how the game works from anything but a disconnected programmer's point of view.

Relic need to hire people whose sole job is to test internal builds of the game before they release. If they did that, so, SO many problems would be fixed before release so that we don't have to suffer for it. To have the audacity to not have internal testers and, at the same time, present their products to us without tasting their own product is a huge disrespect to us, their fanbase and customers.

What is the purpose of this thread? Why did I make it here and not anywhere else? I guess I'm just ranting. I don't feel like getting flamed by posting it on the official CoH2 forums.

Good.

I agree with OP. Maybe exclude AT gun penetration, but everything else would be fine. Would the inclusion of these "nerfs" hurt a good user of these TDs? No. Does it open up counterplay and eliminate the feeling of helplessness Allies face vs. these tanks? Yes.

To all of those saying rushing in with tanks are a counter to these mighty Tank Destroyers: OP has already pointed out in his post that that is indeed an "option," however it is 100% always a desperate option that pits you against the certainty that, if you fail, you have lost the game, and if you win, then you only push them back temporarily.

To all of those saying that ISU and IS2 counter these units: Is a t-34/76 a counter to a Panther because it can shoot and exchange frontal blows? Or would the Panther wreck the t-34 because of its superior HP, penetration, range, and effective damage? If you say ISU and IS2 are counters to Elefant and JT, then make a thread stating that t-34 is a counter to Panther, please.

Fastest arriving hmg in the game, it's fine imo.

Remember, it has the slowest set up time of all allied hmg's, you can't A move them like a maxim and arguably the USF 50 cal.

Have to set them up first in the back, then scout with your infantry.

That's really not what this thread is about. It's about cost effectiveness, combat effectiveness has nothing to do with it. We all know how to use it.

Garrison inside buildings!
