Yes, because that disables pfausts and ATrnades as it always did for soviets.

It's not about preventing the crit, it's about reparing it behind the smoke.

Pop smoke, insta repair the crit and hop back into the tank.


How is it different then CEs in M3?

Rifles supported with a WC-51 is a pain in the ass to deal with due to the insane damage output. Can be fausted and your grens likely retreat, get out, fix the crit and move onward.

And you know that flamer M3s come later nowadays. The US Jeep comes instantly when Ostheer barely has enough munition.


More like fixing engine and bailing out for repairs, but this is actually the only good point you make, also its intended.


Why? Panzer4 gets immobilized the moment sherman gets fausted?

Does it work vice-versa? Nope 'cuz of the strong Wehr defense, if a US player goes for M4 he usually has somesort of defensive AT. Also fuel is in USF's favor if the game in on equal skill level, so risking your only P4 doesn't worth it many times. I seen many times and experienced: Wehr is on the defense untill the Tiger.

Side-note: Going T3 vs USF is too risky.



This ability 'increases' mobility on an army which main strength is mobility.
Its overkill in the exactly same sense as versatility of tank smoke and blitz jet engines.

Yes, it's intended. But it's too cheap/quickly done for what it does. Combined with smoke, HE-AP rounds, crew repair it's powerfull.

About Blitz; I agree, it's retarded, but their smoke is doctrinal, keep that in mind.


Yep, but apparently some people feel the need to word their posts like they actually do.


Lower cost? For 5 P4s there are 6 shermans.
Armor spam? Exactly the same as above. Hardly a spam.

It matters just as much if you loose a tank. The only truly spammable potent medium armor is StuG3 for its 80fu costs. All other armor, well, if you call one tank ever 5-6 minute a spam, go for it. Thou I probably should mention I don't discuss 3v3 and 4v4.

I recognize the bias instead of pattern here.
