For 20 fuel, its valid.

The cost is so severly crippling to teching and eventual armor.
Vet isnt that great anymore. 20 fuel however is a severe setback.

A single Maxim will deal with Vet infantry, as will they die just as fast to a mortar, as will a sniper vet even faster by depleting an even more expensive unit. Basically that Vet doesnt do jack shit for you except against infantry in a vacuum. It doesnt help you one bit vs anything else except small arms combat.

Yes, a single unit may be more effective, but at 20 fuel, its a bitter cost that bites you back, hard, as the game progresses.

i think people are forgetting that vet isnt nearly as powerful after this patch.

I respect Link0's opinion. I remember him from CoH1 and he generally knows what he's talking about; however, the Tiger Ace does not sound like an instant-win unit to me. Let's wait and see how it plays out.

A tank with the power of 2 tigers is a fair trade-off for cutting off income for the rest of the game, and you can't exactly dominate the whole map when all that power is contained within one single unit. It can only be in one place at a time and only shoot one target at a time.
