I think that viper and katitof discussion is directly referred to KT vs TDs performance.
Katitof explains that in order to maintain some order in the actual game it's a must that TDs >>> KT. Since the latter is so common to field, not resource wise but because is OKM stock. For ost is Panthers.
On the other side it's true that TDs have OP stats, making fun of the heaviest axis armor and that's a design flaw. They just punch way too good, as many once claimed about volks in mainline infantry. Again viper is correct. He wants to introduce a less linear combat, dive shoot frontally and reverse. And add more strategic and hard to pull combat, smoke flank , push with arty and inf, off map strafes. But that sums even more on the already high micro tax of allied factions.
It's an unfair balance for both sides.
Buffing KT will break this meta stable balance, nerfing TDs can force too much on allied.
KT are way too expensive for their so delicate role. Bringing its cost down but limiting it with a 30 min cd should restrain people from Spamming it.
Please give usf healing mechanic that is not countered by puma. Make it immobile and keep fuel cost but much more durable. Either defensive setup for ambulance that can be only used in base sector and takes long time to estabilish, medic crates for rear echelons or upgrade in HQ, something that lets you play the game without worrying about light vehicle in your base hunting for ambulance. No forward retreat bullshit.
But its the biggest pleasure to dive in with a puma and 1 hit kill that ambo! Pls dont remove that! There is a lot of skill involved in a base dive! The topic is about handbrake not a fortified ambulance...
I think the "Hirt the Dirt" ability is perfect for that.
Hit the dirt makes the squad immobile, why would you want that nearby the most mobile units ingame? Tanks move backwards or dive into frontlines, just to go back or adjust its front mgs to a specific direction. To me makes no sense to add hit the dirt.
An "aura buff" meaning that nearby armour pgren get move speed par to the vehicle or extra RA can be a thing.
