It's asymmetric game design; Allies have more dudes in squad and are generally a bit stronger making them less punishing to play, but require rack upgrades just to annoy you a bit. It's a design choice not because it's hard to code it.

1. It has smoke and shows a circle in the minimap.
2. The previously OP crew stun has been replaced by turret lock crit (same as by the sniper).
3. Vehicles get time to move out; the problem is that the area is quite large. Only after multiple howitzer shells have hit do tanks start getting engine crit.
4. This offmap is not click-to-win. On the contrary; you need full line of sight or the ability does absolutely nothing. The howitzer fires at a moderate rate of fire and usually is not enough to finish healthy tanks. You need to make a push to take full advantage of it.
5. Panthers and other tanks have plenty of time to move out, but in a heated game, that's easier said than done. But there is counterplay. In this case it's 250 muni for area denial same as by other arty such as scavenge and zeroing arty.

stop looking at the unit in a vacuum, and look at it in the perspective of the WHOLE faction. the crocodile + at gun synergy is extremely strong. with basically pak40 stats, it has good chance to penetrate even heavy armor at max range.

True; consider other things together. The 6-pounder just got a price increase (deserved IMO considering stats comparison with Pak40), but the Pak40 performs better in general not because it has better stats, but because it will more often penetrate Allied tanks with less armour and so get vet faster on top of TWP. With the 6-pounder's 190 pen at max range it will still only have 59% chance of penetrating Panther frontal armour.

On top generally Axis has good weapon-team wiping arty in the form of Pwerfer (even when I move as soon as I hear the sound I almost always get decrew) and the stuka. This leaves Comets and FFs as the main AT.

In addition to the price increase the Croc's stas also got nerfed. While I saw the Croc probably needed some nerfs as it was really difficult to take out while supported, I cannot say whether the exact changes are the right moves since I haven't played that many balance preview games. I can say, as a player, if the Croc remains at 230FU, I will go for comets instead since I cannot guarantee enough AT support in the form of other tanks; there is no StuG equivalent for UKF. If somehow the AT guns are taken out, or if the Croc gets engine snared and Panthers, StuGs, JP4s, etc. chase it, you're literally defenseless especially since UKF does not have snares in general. This is considering other things together.

Can anyone explain the logic here? British off maps can't be called in the base sector, fine. Howitzers used to be built in base sectors, so I see dive bomb is a counter. But why is it still allowed to insta-wipe retreating squads with the recon combo?

Also I think the OKW Scavenge 105 mm offmap can be called in base sector too, but I could be wrong. Why can't we be consistent and forbid all off maps on the base sector?

We are here to talk about the Gammon bomb. Light gammons need a look at since they are atomic bombs compared to bundle nades which are its counterparts.

The heavy gammon bombs are too expensive.
