The maxim is in a weird spot, its supression is kinda meh without vet but i dont think it needs a buff.
its rather mediocre performance early on gets compensated by a durable 6man crew, decent damage and a fast set up time. you cant really buff the maxim without taking away its upsides

any buffs for the maxim will result in the old maxim spam meta, which is a scary thought. i guess you could move some of the vet2-3 bonuses to vet1 or vet0 but thats about it but im not even sure thats needed.

The old maxim was op because it was very mobile and supressed a lot faster then now. Its mobility and supression where lowered substationaly in exchange for a larger arc and a price and build time increase.
The deathloop makes the durable 6 men crew quite redundant imo. Its not more survivable then a 4 men mg.

Since they cant fix the deathloop just make it 240mp again. This wont make the maxim spammable just as the 10mp for volks didnt stop okw spamming them. It will still be a worse mg just with a slightly lower price then its much better counterparts.

The fact that is has a deathloop, reducing its survivability noticably. Smaller arc lower supression wich imo adds to the deathloop and needs vet ability to suppres as other mg,s do. It mobility is margenaly better then other mg,s. It needs teching...

So why in hell is it 260 mp, the same as the t0 much better overall mg 42?
Its out of an unrealitic fear maxim spam will return. Yes in 4v4 it still is spammed but so is nearly every unit that can will be in those games.

With token nerfs such as 10 mp for volks and 10 fuel for the jackson. A 10 to 20 mp cost decrease for the maxim would not impact it that much but would just give a clear sign its a less effective mg overall.

No. The KT is not viable because you spend an obscene amount of total resources to buy a mobile bunker with absolute trash mobiliy at vet 0 which gets roflstomped by either the zoom zoom F1 car that is the M36 Jackson or gets sniped by the recon mode T70 and SU85s combo. Brits are probably the only faction where the KT is a safe choice. Not even gonna go over ram bullshit which is how I always lose the KT vs Soviets.

If the KT had a bit more mobility it would be in a much better spot right now.

Its a slow tank with very high armour and hp wich only 3 allied units can reliably pen. It has a anti everything on the ground gun.
If it had a bit more mobility it would need something changed.

The ram bullshit is bad but all factions have bs stuff. Not just soviets.

No problem. Will all miss stat from time to to time.


The vet bonus of allied are simply broken and better than Panthers. The exception here is FF but considering that UKF unit have (or used to have) inferior vet bonuses by design they are not UP.
If one see the ratio of axis vehicles vs allied TD at vet 0 and vet 3 it will that is smaller and allied TDs perform better.

I do agree allied td,s do preform better. In the old days that vet kept them from being uselles past med tank fase imo. Now axis med play is basicly canceld because of them esp in bigger modes just like the kt and panther used to vs allied meds.
A tone down is in order for td,s. Rather then buffing the panthers wich has only 1 bad stat and thats its ai dps.

I agree with most what is said here.

Brits needing and now having a functional main infantry.

The rifle dps buff was not really needed. But i do feel that since loosing their smoke there was no compensation given to my knowlidge. So possiby thats why they buffed the dps.

The t34 85 price nerf i think is a good thing to look at.

As for the brum range buff i agree that something needs to happen. But also the ostwind being really good now hurt the brumbar. Dont the range from before the nerf but it shoudnt be wiping team weapons from the fow.

I do disagree on the mov acc on the panther and the deleting of the 7th man for cons.

Cons without the 7thm man have almost no use in the late game outside doctrines. Despite being 6 men they will melt vs almost every inf unit. Yet they need to most investment to get them to that level of preformance. Ai upgrades plus vet trump the recc acc of cons greatly, no contest.
They require the most micro to let them use those investments and abilities.

One more con model with conscripts dps is nothing game breaking.
I do see that recrewing a team weapon to full strength right away and not loosing a con squad for it as really powerfull, but soviets when recrweing start at 50% hp and all other factions recrew at 75% hp. The 7th man makes merge usefull thoughout the game instead of just the early game. The dps in cover buff being removed is all it needs.

The panther has no bad stats except its ai power. But at least it has ai power. It also has higher then avarage armour hp and pen. It has medium tank rof and td acc on its main gun. It has more range then most tanks. Its one of the fastest vehicles in the game. It has a turret. It has heavy crush.
It has the hp armour rof range speed and acc to stop and shoot to hit as often as possible. The heavy crush allows it the more easely follow its target or flank its target.
So if its moving acc is buffed it will need to be nerfed elswhere.
The only thing that is wrong imo is that allied td,s pen it to reliably at max range. But that stems from the fact that they where buffed with the kt as benchmark.

That needs a look imo along side the removal from the okw tiger arty ability and timing nerfs for all heavies and reverting the rifle buff. And if the 7th man has to go a real nerf to volks is needed. Volks are the wet dream of conscripts without the 7th man for less cost and micro.
