its actually a 35% damage bonus. it doesnt affect accuracy or penetration. i does give that unit a high target priority though.

all your plans of "rush a walking stuka" might work if you knew exactly what your opponent is doing. the problem is you dont know.

so what are you supposed to do if your opponent waits for your medic truck to put down a fhq? do you wait to put down your first truck or do you always start with mechanized? either way, your early infantry game is worse off because you wont have healing or a retreat point, and the soviet player hasnt even had to do anything. just by having this commander, the okw player has to be prepared for it right away.

in my opinion, thats bullshit. its the same issue as the wc51s. you shouldnt have to drastically change your build in the opening minutes of the game based on commanders. for fhq, you have to go mechanized. for wc51s, you need a rakaten. soviet industry used to play like that and it got nerfed for that exact reason.

now before all the "adapt" responses, im not saying you should be able to spam any unit you want despite what your opponent does. but players shouldnt be forced to predict cheesy early game doctrines, especially when just guessing wrong means you probably already lost.

Probably maxim is one of the worst units for using A-move.

if only it could attack move like an mg42. but that would be too op

ive noticed this too, just never paid too much attention to it.

but what if they kill the truck. is that a risk in itself?

multiple people have already answered this. yes it is a risk to lose the truck. it will delay teching.
