The tiger ace is laughably unbalanced and some of the comments here are very amusing. I like the one where Dane says that a normal tiger would have done the same job delivering the killing blow. It appears that Dane has forgotten that a normal tiger is 720mp/200fuel, and would have thus faced 4 T34/76 instead of 2. All other comments basically boil down to: 'kill the german before he gets the tiger ace'.

For 360MP (same as PaK), an additional 120 Munis (same as 2x LMG or 2x Teller or FHT), the Shreks are laughably underperforming vs T70s, due to that units superior range, ability to false out the Shreks fire cycle with mobility and early timing. Especially since the PGrens lose 1/2 their AI efficacy in the process.

Shreks are by design there specifically to counter early T70s. So they do so now, absolutely not.
Sov has a light armor priviledge, Ost has the expensive Shrek to deal with it, is it currently? Hell no.

A T70 can categorically outrange and exp,oit the Shreks aim time with its own mobility and excellent AI
Its too many factors adding up in favor of the T70 when its exactly the Shrek at its high cost and sacrifice that should be the primary early response to T70s before PIvs can hit the field.

For cost, they operate fine vs T34s and later Sov armor. But vs the T70 they are being made a fool of by a cheap early armor unit that can absolutely exploit their range advantage and mobility. In the open field it is ofc the armors priviledge, that belongs to PaKs and armor to counter. But even in close quarters, a T70 is efdectively unShreckable due to moving in and out of LoS or range, while the PGrens lay there doing absolutely nothing. It cant be fired on thr move. A T70 can move ceaselessly in and out of range or LoS while sniping PGrens without even a single Shrek firing.

If you dont see that, you must be categoricalky failing your T70 micro and need to learn the potential of yoyoing. The reload is constant even when moving whereas the Shrek fire is reset everytime it loses its target. With reverse and forward you can move ina nd out of either max range, or LoS to ceaselessly take pot shots at the PGrens without even a single shot going off in return. For 360/120, and loss of 1/2 AI, this is completely unacceptable.

T70s should NEVER be able to come anywhere near Shreks. For the cost, they should be categorically owned for going anywhere near Shreks. In exactly the same way HT and 222 cant go anywhere near Guard.
