Profile of Vipper

Jackson is very powerful now with its HP buff allowing it to chase down enemy tanks. Honestly even with its HP buff enemy medium tanks can trade with it due its slower reload at vet 0.

Its not a trade its a monopoly because the PZIV has less sight, less range and less mobility. The PZIV can bee kited all day long and there is very little it can do about it.

The idea that the cost of fully reinforcing a squad instead the cost per entity is rather flawed.

When we are talking about small arm fire what matter is effective HP and cost per entity.

The germans get insane armor as a perk.
Americans get gyroscope as a perk. That is US Faction Design. Accuracy on the move.
All American tanks have it. And M1 Garand, BAR, etc. Every weapon of the americans works on the
move (except the M1919A6 and it was nerfed to 1 per squad only, so, RIP).

And that armor is quite pointless due to the high penetration of units like Firefly, Su-85 and m36

Americans would be fine losing the Gyro if Germans would be fine losing 50% of frontal armor
on all their tanks. And also, a signed documents stating that you won't complain if all factions
suddenly become completely homogenous, with 100% same unit stats and abilities, so people can finally
stop complaining for once.

With the same logic German would be fine if their armor levels become the similar to allies but their tank's cost and tech become similar to allied vehicles...

And since USF vehicles have such higher moving accuracy they should not also have higher accuracy to begin with or receiver accuracy buffs as they do in MOD.

Finally armor is not negated by accuracy but by penetration and M36 has both they accuracy and penetration thus has a higher change to hit and damage (200) all types on enemy vehicles.

Panther has twice the health of the Jackson... no, wait
1200 vs 480, was it?

Panther actually has 800 hp and dies to 4 penetrated shots from m36.

The M36 has 600 HP in the mod and dies to 4 shot from vehicles weapons (with some exceptions like the Ostheer Panther)

If you actually read and understand my point you will see that I am not asking to homogenize the stat of units/faction.

My point is that most units with range 50+ should not be able to both hit and penetrate enemy vehicles with high chance at max range.

Meduim TD should have around 80-90% chance to hit heavies and to penetrate them around 50-60%.

Heavy TD should have a chance to hit mediums around 50-60% at max range.

have you tried going for a fast luchs? That is pretty much the way you counter everything as OKW.

The problem with Luch is that it delivers very inconsistent damage. It ability to fight infantry in heavy cover is extremely low (very low modifier especially in contrast with Centaur that has very high modifier) unless one risk to move it to range 10 and be in range of AT throw weapons.

Given the SU-76 got a substantial penetration nerf, it needs accuracy or it would not be reliable in its primary role. The unit itself doesn't deal a lot of damage unless used in batteries and is very vulnerable to flanks or exploding to AT in general.

The M10 got a boost to mid-range accuracy since it's now being restricted by the call-in changes and the unit in general already has less accuracy than traditional TDs.

SU-85 would be very meh without good accuracy. It already needs more shots to kill the heavier tanks and is a casemate TD which can't really chase. Sure it can take on mediums, but fighting vehicles and tanks is the only thing this unit can do aside from its clunky spotting mechanics.

M36 could possibly see a far nerf, depending, but it's still USF's only primary AT vehicle. No Stuarts, Shermans do not count as they are AV (not AT) or a generalist. Also zooks and ATGs are not exactly mobile enough to chase unless the opponent dives in with tanks.

If you really hate the TDs so much, fight them with inf or ATGs that forces them to back off. Mediums aren't useless as they are still very potent against infantry, respond quickly to harassment, protect core elements of the army by acting as an anchor and can harm TDs if they get around. This isn't a 1v1 game where everything is taken in a vacuum.

Let my try to put this into number so you can understand.
Keep in mind that the chance to hit is to score a "natural hit" and the change allot higher due to collision.
Keep also in mind that Stug, Panther and M10 have a range of 50 while the other a range of 60. Keep also in mind that M10 is designed a flanker TD mobile and cheap.

Things to note:
Stug chance to damage enemy medium went down to x88%
Su-76 chance to damage enemy medium went up x141%
M36 chance to damage enemy medium went up x114% combined with the extra HP M36 is far better at dealing withe medium.

Other:
The 55+ range tds are so accurate at max range that have accuracy 100%+(with vet) while the 50 range Tds have far less.

Example m36 stug Panther vs medium stationary, move, move with vet bonus

m36 85% 66% 86%
stug 88% 44% 44%
panther 66% 33% 33%

The M36 is x250% times more accurate on the move (vet2)at range 55 than a panther at range 50...
