Maybe we should just delete Rifle Company. Seeing as the only useful thing in it is the Easy-Eight since the Vet Riflemen for some nonsensical reason have a 80 second cooldown at the start of the game, which defeats the main point of their existence.
Seeing as everyone on this forum pretty much insists on bitching until every single useful American unit or commander is nerfed into the ground, I'm just going to suggest removing the commander and replacing him with something the German players that populate this forum wont constantly whine about.
I bet once when E8 is nerfed you'll start complaining about vanilla riflemen, too, huh? Or maybe how the AT Rifle Nade consistently causes engine damage? Actually, no, I bet it'll be Paratroopers - like anybody uses those useless fucks lol.
The E8 is fucking fine. It's the only American tank that can manfight another tank - when properly micor'd - is doctrinal, is very late game, and is not a cheap tank. It doesn't reliably penetrate the front armour of any heavy tanks(I don't know what shit you guys are fucking smoking, pass it over) and its performance against infantry is mediocre and only becomes decent with the .50cal upgrade, and is passed out by the vanilla Sherman using HE shells. The PzIV fills the same role as the E8 but costs less (350/125) so naturally it will get beaten, but can still win if mirco'd well enough.
The E8 is not penetrating too much. The E8 is not too cheap. The E8 is not doing too much damage. Try playing USF if everything about them is so fucking strong and get out of your comfort zone.
