They made a durable cqc squad excel at range dps.
Then they should nerf bars long range damage, yes? |
Jackson lost 240 dmg shot for 160 dmg shot for extra pen (extra pen is useless vs Pz4) = Nerfed vs Pz4
Incorrect, you are comparing Prepatch HVAP (240) to postpatch non-HVAP (160) when postpatch HVAP does 200 damage. In essence HVAP was unchanged except for more pen. |
That is not accurate either.
The 100mp and 40 fuel unlock more then just the lmg42. It gives you the rifle grenade as well. It also give a tech structure wich in turn give acces to better units. The unlocks for bars zooks and grenades dont.
So of that 40 fuel only 15 is for grens directly. And that grants you the lmgs and rifle grenades.
Rifles are the only nondoc capable inf for usf. Ost gets 2 okw gets 3 and both also have good non doc inf. Rifles are more expensive then both grens and volks. Thus rifles should be a bit better overall when max upgraded.
I'm pritty sure that USF tech costs including weapon racks is about equal to OSTs. This means while unlocking weapons is cheaper than tech with OST, the weapon rack cost is made up by cheaper tier costs later on.
Also if 30 mp costs justify such a strong unit vs volk and grens why are panzer grens (and even obers) not have a proportionate advantage over rifles? |
OKW have plenty of doctrinal counters for the doctrinal soviet threat of 120s. You have Feuersturm Incendiary muni for leig, Overwatch has a stealthing mobile detpack, Luftwaffe has Falls, and Scavenge has Jaegers. not to mention a plethora of offmap arty callins.
Also, the leig has a barrage range that is equal to a 120 at Vet 0 and increases at Vet 1 while the 120 must wait till Vet 3 to get a range increase. The leig also has a faster rate of fire. All with less popcap and less MP required.
Have you actually used any of those things? For one getting a goliath across half the map without being spotted or heard is pretty naive. For two, OKW doesn't have a plethora of offmaps, not any that are particularly effective at killing a 120mm, saying that they do shows your ignorance. For three Falls may be effective, but they still expensive and have the high chance that they will be wiped on retreat. For four Jaegers would take a year and a day to kill a 120mm with their little DPS.
And have you actually used a LeIG barrage? 4 shells with little AOE will never kill a 120. And in comparison the 120 can just kill the LeIG with barrages or auto attacks. |
OKW emergency repair on the Elite Armor doctrine (literally a worse version of allied comander abilities, repairs critical damage and a tiny bit of health, but makes the vehicle totally vulnerable, UP)
Plus i think it only works in friendly territory. |
This is pretty much my feeling since the patch. I don't understand why the panther took so much nerf, it's underperformance was already an issue.
"The panther is in a good place"

How dare those allied tanks fighting back against superior german armour!
Well the idea was that the axis has slow and well armoured tanks, but due to allied TD pen creep, the armour isnt as much of a benefit anymore. |
You can use the invis to get into range
Yeah to shoot once and then provide the allies with a free rak.
And using invs to get into range it just giving a cripple a crutch. Or in other words, giving it an ability (positive) to counteract its negatives, still leaves it worse off in comparison with other AT guns |
Fortunaly, it also has some upsides. It has non doctrinal camo which renders it invisible so as to ambush your enemies with it, something it is good at with good firerate and amazing penetrative firepower against all medium tanks and below. It is also available from the HQ without needing a truck unlike the MG34.
I just want to point out while its fire rate may be good, its aim time is still painfully long.
Also while cammo is nice, its only there to balance out the negatives of its short range and lack of survivability. Camo may be good, but firing from 60 range and from the FOW is better.

, Panther etc. Crocodile got more armour in last patch but it doesn´t help at all because most rounds still penetrate it.
Are you saying that it would be fair and balanced when no rounds penetrate it?
Its armour is at 290 right now, almost equal to tigers and panthers. Do you consider those having low armour? |
