At least try to get your stat straight, KV-8 has more HP, more frontal armor and significantly more rear than Brummbar.

I was comparing it to the sherman dozer. I could have stated that better

All your points actually support my suggestion or dont counter it.

What you mean needing to go back base upgrade the pintle?

Only 3 tanks iirc for wehrboo, maybe 4 if you count normal tiger. But the numbers of tanks with pintle does not affect this suggestion, its not like +5 is op or you can field as many as those tanks.

Spotting scope just got heavy nerf and i feel this actually help supplement the idea for the 1.5s penalty.

Pioneer sight dont overlap unless you push them further the front lines, which you shouldn't. Ht is expensive to use and iirc you need vet...

Look, the point is to create a fairer dynamic of sight/armour vs range/pen. Alliea 60td don't cost extra to get the range and pen and sweet vet bonus. Hell firefly just got free tulips buff for some reason....

How does bonus sight on a pintle have a dynamic with 60 rage td,s?

Stug p4 p5 and brum can get pintles and the doctinal tiger can as well. compared to sov is2 isu and m4c sherman, wich all are in doctrines. For usf its the 2 shermans one is stock.

Spotting scopes got a just nerf. Now you need to stop to get the benefits. No more speeding around stopping when you see the enemy while they cant see you. Pio,s do have free bonus vison, their price nor preformance was changed when they got that extra vision, it was done for synergy with the mg42.

The ai upgrade on the field was to show axis are different in design. Since allies get their upgrades differently etc. Lacking heavy armour with a good gun and good speed non doc is the reason allies have potent 60 range td,s. Axis have no problem what so ever to penn stock allied armour, allies did have big problems penning axis stock armour because they had the heaviest tank stock.
Allied td,s have no ai to speak off, unlike the panther and stug. Only the su76 but that is effective for light and medium armour and not heavy. The su85 sight ability guts its mobility and vision goes to a single cone. To say that it comes free is just wrong.

Actually Panther used to be one of the few vehicle that its armor bonus actually made a difference vs TDs since at least some of them would bounce.

I remember the panther bouncing the su85 su76 zis3 t3476 kv1 is2 (if it could even hit it) quite reliably all the time at vet 0 before the td buff. And with armour bonus from vet 2 it was almost a garanteed bounce.
It made little difference as i remember them. The p4 armour bonus made a bigger impact imo.

The KT being non doc screwed over the td balance massivly. The panthers also played a big part. With axis mediums paying the price.

Its bad design putting premium mediums and heavy/superheavy on 1 side next to better at. And only mediums tops and at capable of dealing with mediums fine but anything above unreliable at best on the other side.

So honest question regarding criticals. For the people who say "no", would you be ok with your tanks receiving random immobilize criticals in snow/ice/mud? What happens why you lose your armor piece to a random critical like that? Is that fair and balanced?

As long as it happens to all factions about equaly i am ok with it. It can turn an engegament around, or save a vehicle wich would get destroyed otherwise. It can let you get back in the game while in certan other games you can never get back unless the opponent goes afk.

Yes as some said above, allies are stronger blobbers. Allies vs Wehr, win early blob wars and transition faster to their better LT and Medtanks. G43 is too expensive to help Wehr equalise blobbing on the move. So if you play allies,you can counter Wehr blobbers much easier. Okw is bit more equal and harder but usf is now more stronger than okw from early game

To me, i believe all mg should be improved, have a better RA against infantry weapon when setup. Especially Wehr is up against 5-7 men units dps.

For Wehr,mg42 is weakest mid-late game against allies blob and need a vet buff.

I dony think its the case that ost has it worst again... tgis is getting tyersome.

I agree with you on recc acc buff for all mg,s. But with the ost always up i dont agree.

Bigger squads are supressed earlier, and wich side has bigger squads mostly? Mg42,s suppression and aoe supression is not bad at all.

You need a bigger blob to force of or kill an mg 42 frontally then a maxim or vickers, with a maxim 2 okw squads is enough. You can keep then directly next to eachother in my experience on the recieving end.
Allies being better blobbers, but in ost,s case they can also shut a blob down easier. Looks pretty nicely asymetricly balanced to me.

And allies having better mediums!? Surely you dont mean the non doc ones?
