Profile of Stug life

The JT costs exactly the same amount of manpower as the ISU, or the Elefant; and there's no way that the impact that JT has on the game is on a remotely equal footing with either of those units; the Elefant only performs a subset of a functions that the JT can.

It has to load the round first after clicking the button.

Apologies, I got a bit confused by your original reply.

I claimed that the the JT, the Command Panther and the Sturmtiger feel underpriced.
- The Sturmtiger performs vastly better than similar units (AVRE) for the same price (neither unit fits the "squad preservation" theme of CoH2 very well, but whatever)
- The Command Panther has abilities that are significantly better and/or cheaper than similar abilities of other factions (OKW Combat Blitz is OST Blitzkrieg on steroids; 35 Munitions Coordinated Fire). That's a Relic from the pre-revamp days, when OKW could choose between Fuel or Munitions but not both.
- The JT costs way too little resources (esp Manpower) for something that wants to be an Elefant that is more durable, have better range, and also retain AI capabilities.

Now, I don't know what the price of these units should be. For instance, we don't know if Relic decides to introduce global upgrades on OKW or something else that will limit the availability of these units.

Basically, the only other unit I included was the Command Panther (and the Jagtiger). It is cheaper now than what it used to be pre-revamp. Also, its abilities are dirt cheap (especially now that you don't need to transform munitions to fuel to actually afford tanks).

Generally speaking, it is possible to nerf something, and have that thing overperform even post-nerf. Case in point? Artillery Cover; it took two nerfs to have it reach the current state.

For 2v2+ i give you a similar one:
beware, it's very complicated
- SPio
- SPio
- agressive T1
- PFs or JLI
- PFs or JLI
- PFs or JLI
- T3
- Panther
In between lots of mines, and your mate obviously needs to get a Pak40 or two.

Works best on maps with good access to the enemy cutoff, even better in larger team games. Very macro heavy though
