Austerlitz: Yes, thats because the M3 and unit inside are two independant units which both cost their full cost on their own.

It is secondary, and irrelevant, to my suggestion, that the unit pops out. Thatnis fine, well done to the Sov player for microing. The point is forcing that poput in the first place as a result of the vehicle being stopped immediately on the Faust hit, and hence two effects a) the unit inside loses its cover bonus when outside b) more importantly, the chance to finish the M3 off that younactually spent the Munition in Fausts to engage.

This is primarily about increasing the cost efficiency of Faust in conjunction with applying small arms or further Fausts to a stopped vehicle for purposes of destroying it, rather than it rolling out of range due to the current mechanics.

If the M3 can simplynroll well out of range as it does now, it means the Faust expenditure and force commitment (as thenGrens are suffering attrition at agreater rate than the unit in the M3 this whole time) is quite often wasted. It forces off the M3, yes, but often its Engi crew can degarrison and repair it right behind a nearby cover while the Grens catch up. If it is stopped dead in its tracks until it reaccelerates at its lower engine dmged rate, the Grens can catch up and apply small arms or another Faust more reasonably.


I understand the repercussions of my suggestion can be difficult to express or imagine, but its mostly about simply stopping the M3 from rolling so far out of range after the Faust hit, that the Grens have little chance to capitalise on the Faust. If it stops to zero speed when hit, this is mitigated to Osts benefit, but can be prevented by Sov player simply by staying generally at a further range or near a corner of cover to fall back behind. It increases the risk of M3 maneuvering, but only for being too close (ie: overextending). As it is at this time, the M3 simply olls out of range from the finishing blows, even when very close, such as it typically now all too often is with Flamer Engies onboard.

After my proposed change, it wont roll anywhere. If it gets hit, it STOPS, and its retreat is much slower due to having to re-accelerate at the engine dmg rate, and has therefore has to be very careful beforehand about how close it gets in the first place. In balance, this is fairly adjusted to Sov in regards to 221 and FHT, as those two will lose mobility by concretely stopping when hit, thereby allowing small arms/ATNades to finish it off if close enough (in which case, Sov also has the Oorah to close that gap for a final ATNade to finish the deal for sure).
