Guys, the steam summer sale is coming. Relic is probably crossing their fingers ppl buy the game then and it picks up popularity. Didn't coh2 have a rough start as well?

Yeah have fun trying to keep paper tanks in action with just 1-2 RETs.

It would be just like the EFA!

So you wanna nerf the elephant/JT so it does the same dmg as the vet 3 FF, has the same range as the FF, has less accuracy than the FF, has a longer reload than the FF, has a fixed gun opposed to a turret, is extremely slow compared to a FF, is doctrinal compared to a FF....

Does the extra armor and 400/600 HP (ele/JT) really justify paying double the cost for a doctrinal unit that performs roughly the same as a FF? Nope.

If you want to any aspects of the JT/elephant (which I don't think need it) then you need to buff them somewhere else to justify their price tag.

Range definitely needs to stay at least at 70 (JT could be brought down with price decrease) because these units are so slow to rotate and move in general.

DPS must remain the same in order to keep them as HEAVY TDs. Aka if you nerf their alpha dmg to 280, you need to increase their accuracy (they have worse accuracy than panther) and ROF to still be viable against allied heavies (namely IS2 and Churchill).

Even if you changed the reload from ~8 to ~6 it would still require 2 reload cycles to kill mediums (12seconds assuming all hits) opposed to 8 seconds (one reload cycle). That's 4 extra seconds for a tank to get behind a shot blocker, move into FOG (spotting scopes already got nerfed btw) or get behind the TD to flank it.

Another option is to leave them as is but limit them to 1 per game per person. That way killing it means it's over and done with. Please don't even consider limiting the number of them per team to 1. That's just savage for the players who just wanna use one of their doctrinal units.

Toss in Marked Target and they can realistically run over just about any tank you try to counter with. Sure you may catch 1 or 2 with a teller but the rest will flood through and you'll be f'd.

Seriously, for 80 fuel you get a tank that is nearly as good as a P4, what did you guys expect. Im surprised it took this long to become an issue.

They certainly are undervalued however ostheer has all the tools they need to counter t34 spam.

Both the Ostheer sniper and Brit sniper require the same amount of experience to vet up (720 vet 1, 1440 vet 2, 2880 vet 3). How fast they gain XP depends on what they are shooting at. For example, the Brit sniper will vet faster shooting at obers or other snipers as opposed to ostruppen. I would guess it also gains a lot of XP dealing dmg to vehicles so it all depends on what the sniper is firing against. Since most axis infantry cost more than allied ones (per model that is) the Brit sniper should vet faster than the Ostheer one assuming it's hitting targets as often as the Ostheer sniper. Technically speaking the Ostheer sniper has faster ROF and aim time but again, it typically has to kite the enemy meaning it's not firing that much faster. Ostheer sniper vet gives it more AI while Brit sniper also gets more AT with the cost of AI.

Summary: Brit sniper vets as fast as ostheer sniper.
