This has always been my favorite upgrade in the whole game since the alpha. The german mechanized commander is the 2nd commander to get this ability, and also artillery. It's actually vet 2 that the scout car gets a 30% vision bonus, which is multiplied crazily by the scopes. You can just park that car like a chess piece next to some support weapons and have such a massive vision advantage. It only works when your sitting still so what I like to do is when I'm advancing I will stutter step forward so I don't run into an AT wall, so you can actually move really aggressively but also totally safely oh boy its neat. It works best on the panther since the panther can shoot further than it can see, and not so well on the stug since that unit already needs to be screened generally. It's also great to have a panther spot an at gun or even a tank and than use art, with spotting scopes they don't even see your watching them. |
If by the year 2020 humans have the ability to make a mind-machine interface to work could we get the ability to rebind keys? |
The IS-2 and KV8 make perfect partners with the SU-85. The IS-2 has had a recent massive dps boost against infantry. In large tank battles it can be great for your IS-2 to target pioneers trying to repair, paks, and other infantry, you can often wipe out 2-3+ stacked squads in a single shot from the IS-2, its super accurate for its size. The KV8 probably deals more raw damage against infantry, but if panthers try to flank the su-85s the IS2 can get some really nice rear shots on panthers and that will wreak them. But by itself it's a POS. |
With the new penetration on at grenade change and the su85 speed change the tiger is now viable. Before getting hit by even 1 oo-rah at nade could be death when a su85 decides to kite. The extra munition and fuel from the trucks can be overpowered in team games, especially when stacking trucks on top of caches. In team games with my friends it can be fun to get 4-10 grenadier squads all with lmgs/g43s/camo and then get them to vet 3 extremely early backed by panthers.
Tigers still aren't cost effective with trading blows against su85s, but they can be great in team games to absorb shots for panthers and other tanks. Although in those late game situations I end up with like 6 pioneers with flame throwers to keep up with repairs. |

How did I find what? |
I wanted to build a T34 but I didn't have the fuel, so I tried out the new T70. I would have built shock troops a lot sooner but I never had any munitions. |
