Pretty solid suggestions. I'd add to completely remove flamer detonation chance (such a stupid RNG-driven mechanic) too, currently it seems investing 60 ammo into a bit of a gamble.

Shrecks aren't supposed to counter the T-70.

Yes, yes, price differences and all that, but it's just not its role, and in fact it never was the shrecks's role in CoH's history to destroy light vehicles (unless you used cloaked Storms but those were doctrinal). It's designed to destroy medium tanks and cripple heavy ones, and it's pretty successfull in that regard so long as you support your PGrens. But your primary infantry AT is and always will be a PaK. Get it, support it, and it will deter the little guy until your Panzer 4s can flatten his T3.

I mean, price isin't everything. A Zis-3 will (eventually) destroy an Elefant 1v1. Does that make the Zis crazy OP?

At worst, if you have difficulty with T-70s in particular, you can grab the free doc that gives you the open-topped halftrack, and go all Panzer Elite on the Soviets by putting shrecks in them. I loved doing that back in the days. In some maps, shrecks in buildings are also a great deterrent until you can field a Panzer, as T-70 barely damage structures. The T-70 may be slightly OP, but it's not like it's unstopable bar the broken commander, and again shrecks aren't supposed to 1v1 it.

It's just where it needs to be. Relatively cheap, all-rounder tank that's good against infantry and decent against vehicles. Ram is a stupid mechanic that should be reworked/removed, but the unit itself is 100% fine.

i'd probably be in favor of increasing the T-70's manpower cost myself. 155 is very low for a unit that has great mobility, firepower and is immune to small arms and virtually immune to fausts unless it steps on a mine. It's certainly a powerful unit, and the scatter change seems a good idea to me; few things are more frustrating than having your infantry chased halfway to base by a moving unit you have difficulty countering. I'd put it at 210-220 MP myself. Increasing fuel cost seems a bit redundant after that, not to mention it's useless against anything not on legs or a HT.

But then again, it's merely Soviet Industry that makes the unit crazy OP. By itself, the T-70 is hardly invincible as VonIvan has pointed out, and if you can stem the T-70/T-34 tide the German player has the advantage of having a T3 building Soviets will have more difficulty countering. It has a window of opportunity during which it rules supreme, but if the game is anywhere near close the Ostheer player should have a Panzer ready within 2 minutes at most, and with proper preparation it's very possible to hold off the thing.

Strongly disagree, The Tiger Ace is the ultimate HighRisk/HighReward Unit and it is very fun and very risky and also isnt so hard to kill if you realize this is a strategy game and part of that is thinking ahead and making steps ahead of your opponent. You see him buying vet you know what you Need to Prepare for if you are winning. If you are losing the game most likely your going to lose anyway and its just a nice game ender Imo oppinion so you dont have to play the game another 30 minutes even though you won it at 25. Seriously you guys its just a regular tiger with vet 3 hardly unstoppable quit being whiny little girls get some freaking balls and think and also if you gonna play a strategy game you better know how to lose cause its gonna happen

It's not ''just'' a vet 3 tiger, it has a 0.5 dmg received modifier (meaning it takes half as much damage and so effectively has double health) and does double the damage of the Tiger's gun (320, equal to the Elefant). Of course, if your opponent is dead and you have a full army it's killable. But in a close game, where both players are equally skilled? Where the damn thing has supporting infantry to cap, (vet 2) panzers to screen it and pioneers to repair it? You're basically fucked. He can easily rout you and waltz into your base. It's not good game design at all.
