Stop it, FF is not intended to be useful in every matchup on every map and in every situation.
Speak for youself. Jt, elefant and pak43 were in game forever as well as pak walls. If you lost your tank to FF its not because "omg op/bad design nerf plx" its because you were outsmarted and outplayed.
FF offers counters to threats allied armies struggle to counters such as 17 target-size predator-cloak jp4 and blitz-away from everything panthers. If you take away FF ability to burst tanks in exchange for DPS increase/cost decrease, it would not become useful because you imagine it should, but directly opposite.
Besides there is zero reason brits with their beefy tanks should have jackson clone. Especially in 1v1.
I see more value and importance to having a cheaper and more accessible tank destroyer than an impractically expensive TD with an impractically expensive ability.
Comet and cromwell are very good generalist but by no mean suited to take on the axis heavy alone.
The only cost-effective Anti-tank weapon the british really have is the 6 pounder and that's just not enough.
The current tulip give the Firely firepower to even surpass the likes of pak43 and elefant, along with the price tag and impracticability to match. It would have been good for a doctrinal ability but it's not suit for an important role as the British's tank destroyer.
i only used tulip once. rest, I relied on tank commander and firefly's damage output to quickly vet. but i did almost insta gib command panther the one time i used it.
i agree, tulip at this stat is not needed and i do not think nerfing tulip need a compensation either.
the firefly without the tulip is severely overpriced.
First, it's slow. It's the second slowest allied tank in the game. The slowest is the centuar, and the calliope (if you count the calliope as a tank). It's slower than even the jpz4.
the 17 pounder also have a really long reload time. At 10 seconds it's as slow as the reload on the isu152. Even the elefant and the jagdtiger reload faster. The Firefly crew are basically brewing a cup of tea in between every shots.
its durability is average. Same hp and armor as the USF 75mm sherman.
it's not quite
bad, as the 17 pounder still possess amazing accuracy and high penetration that give it a consistent dps, but there's no way it's worth 440mp 155fuel. Right now the Firefly is the most expensive non-doc TD in the entire game, but I would still rate the jpz4 higher.
