Then you factor in potential AI and utility from the comet and waow, still holds some value!

We keep hearing about this great comet AI, maybe I am really trapped in a patch from two years ago

I've not seen Hans or any other pro player touch them in months in a serious game.

this doctrine needs more nerfs, it's pretty telling how sub 30 players can cheese their way to brit top 10 abusing it (not naming any names but it's obvious if you follow twitch like myself). Luckily the top UKF players that were actually skilled at axis as well that made it to the GCS2 finals felt better than abusing this.

Repair stations should take up popcap and the howitzer ability shouldn't be in the game

EDIT: I have seen an added cancer to this which is british trench spam, certain players are just spamming 50 of them around their base or side of the map to mess with tank pathing and base dives. It's also impossible to use them against your UKF enemy as they usually have them under bofor or mortar cover (all repair by forward HQ and impossible to kill). They should return to 80mp to stop this bs

So change the name from rifle company to infantry company.

The original role was flamers on rifles, improving rifles not RE's or other inf. He has a point trying to rebuild the original theme of the doctrine

It used to be completely oppressive with its nonsensical armour, which made it virtually invulnerable to mg42 or Kar98s (both Grens and Volks). Right now it's actually killable by small arms fire, and can be forced to retreat by Sturmpios/sustained Volks fire, which makes Rak not a 100% necessity.

You are quite simply wrong and spouting falsehoods. Really watch any hans vid from prepatch and you will see the old armour was not "invulnerable". MG42 would win a straight up fight with vanilla UC so you needed to be careful with engaging them until tech and WASP.

But then by WASP he has MG42 inc rounds and 222 on top of faust, so it really wasn't as terrible as you make out. For reference old UC died quicker than the Wehr halftrack to small arms (FHT armour was 9, old UC was 10 but FHT had more health). I mean really if it was impossible to kill as you claim then we would have seen UKF building one maybe two every game... but they didn't. It had good armour for a light but you are overreacting.

If I had my way WASP and Vickers upon upgrade should be buffed to 9 armour and have the range nerf reverted, wehr FHT should also remain the same without any nerfs. It kind of sucks for the MP investment right now, which goes for a lot of UKF units really.

+1 If I'm spending the same price as a panther on a tank, I want it it to be as good as a panther or better than the panther at something. Whether it's slightly worse AT but better AI or equal in AT terms. Any buffs to any unit need to make them fit meta however otherwise UKF will remain being carried by the same 4 units.

It's funny because when I watch imperialdane casts when UKF is eventually clubbed by vet command panther, brumbar, vet panther etc dane always says stuff like "well they could have gone for comets here which would have been a wiser choice lategame". As if comet can even trade vs panther vet xD

I think a lot of people don't realize just how crappy the vet is, you get no reload or extra armor buffs like the panther does. Really the unit scales so badly, it needs extra range and punch. imo some choices worth testing


1: simply revert to it's old range so matches panther and give it an extra 30% pen at vet 2. Comet now becomes worth the 500mp 185f pricetag like panther.

2: Make the AI reliable again, I think increasing MG damage for on the move (less wipes but can kill stuff) and decreasing the scatter for static shooting. Also make the inc shell a bit more responsive and faster to fire.

3: price decrease to 400mp 155f, popcap down to 17. (probably the worst of the three options here imo, cheap doesnt exactly mean good either with how old t34/76 was)
