Im not saying it's easy to counter pwerfer. I'm saying it easy to counter pwerfer COMPARED TO the calliope. It's far easier and a lot less at stack to try to counter pwerfer than it is calli. You can kill pwerfer with artillery if you want with no risk.

And I never said pwerfer was balanced either. Both need less wiping potential as you said.

I disagree that survivability of a non frontline isn't important. Unit preservation is always important. Every unit should be counter able. The reason you see so many complaints about heavies is because there seems to be no counter (even tho there are). What would you say is the most cost effective counter to an armoured mobile artillery unit?

I see more value and importance to having a cheaper and more accessible tank destroyer than an impractically expensive TD with an impractically expensive ability.

Comet and cromwell are very good generalist but by no mean suited to take on the axis heavy alone.

The only cost-effective Anti-tank weapon the british really have is the 6 pounder and that's just not enough.

The current tulip give the Firely firepower to even surpass the likes of pak43 and elefant, along with the price tag and impracticability to match. It would have been good for a doctrinal ability but it's not suit for an important role as the British's tank destroyer.



the firefly without the tulip is severely overpriced.

First, it's slow. It's the second slowest allied tank in the game. The slowest is the centuar, and the calliope (if you count the calliope as a tank). It's slower than even the jpz4.

the 17 pounder also have a really long reload time. At 10 seconds it's as slow as the reload on the isu152. Even the elefant and the jagdtiger reload faster. The Firefly crew are basically brewing a cup of tea in between every shots.

its durability is average. Same hp and armor as the USF 75mm sherman.

it's not quite bad, as the 17 pounder still possess amazing accuracy and high penetration that give it a consistent dps, but there's no way it's worth 440mp 155fuel. Right now the Firefly is the most expensive non-doc TD in the entire game, but I would still rate the jpz4 higher.
