I don't understand the pak howitzer change. The problem was it obliterated squads when it hit them, not its accuracy of autofire. Now it's just going to obliterate squads "sometimes". Regardless of how frequently something obliterates squads (see KT) it is still frustrating AF for the receiver if there is no counterplay. Just give the brummbar treatment.
Could this please be incorporated into the opening thread and the general patch overview thread? Otherwise it's hard to keep track of the current state of the patch.
So if it takes 5 full minutes to repair your schwerer where it stand and having it funcional only when you complete 100%, any damage taken enlarge the repair time, why not.
Are you actually trying to justify a FREE repair vs a 135F repair?????
I never really think to get a JP4 to counter mediums to be honest, I'd rather invest in a P4 that can't so easily swarmed/flanked. JP4 can do well vs other TD, but TD can do well against it also...so it's not exactly a counter like an Elephant is.
I'd gladly trade slower ROF for more penetration so it can at least have a similar impact late game as an SU-85/Jackson/Firefly do. Being forced into Panther or the meme that is the JT to reliably penetrate allied heavies is frustrating to say the least.
+1
I never fully understood the roles of the JP4 vs the panther. They're both good vs mediums, but they're both mediocre vs heavies. Think the panther can engage a churchill reliably or the IS2? It has the pen sure, but it doesn't have the RoF to go through 1400 HP of the churchill. Can the JP4 challenge the churchill and IS2? Sure it has the RoF, but really subpar pen especially vs the IS2. And with the upcoming IS2 accuracy buffs, I really won't entirely know how to counter it effectivly since it won't be missing as much vs panthers.
Can we consider giving REs sandbags instead of tanktraps? It's really difficult to get all your squad members behind a thin piece of green cover sometimes and it often leads to being suppressed by MGs even though you're behind green cover
