Raks are still 5 range less than other AT guns and also lack a gun shield. The cover from the shield is bugged but applying sometimes is better than never and also the gun shield sometimes eats tank shells.
how about make the range same and decrease cost than normal At gun to compensaate for o buggy shield? but retreat has to go at this range/
apart from this i see no way how you can prevent infantry from retreating after the first salvo. Even if you increase the damage they will still retreat if any capable player is playing.
i would want its armor reduced and its offensive capabilities improved and maybe added to t3? this way its more in line with hetzer timing which is still relevant . at t4 you already have to go for a tank destroyer to fight thsoe axis tanks so cant exactly make kv8 as the first tank
