Please tell me how Soviet .50 Quad is balance against 251 AA HT.
It's not, the flak HT is far superior. Once flak reaches vet 2 it's absolutely disgusting. Only 4 things the quad does better is chase squads, chase lighter vehicles for kills, flank AT walls and survive better with overdrive. Flak HT is same or better in every other role, including area denial, damage output, veterancy, suppression etc. Quad is still a very good unit, but the veterancy of the flak HT is simply disgusting.
I quite don't see a reason for buffing this unit. It's doing it's job pretty well
And that's the main issue with the thread, there is no way the flak HT gets buffed, it needs nerfs instead like swapping vet 2 with 3 or longer setup or something. It's game breaking in the hands of a truly competent player. People who think it's bad just suck at using it.
