It may appears late..but this was only the decision by the player. it is usefull at the start from late game. it isnt hard to get it and to cover it since you need only a good AI unit around it..which isnt hard in team games. after that you old the area effectively.

it has brace when you must retreat all your stuff or arty callins and isnt this expansive. it is nondoc, provide heavy AT and flares. turn the gun alone into the right direction and can shot through shoblocker with muni.

it is a better pak43 ...nondoc

It scared a PV once. By the time the pounder started to shoot again, the game was already lost. You don't recover from 2 armies at basically max popcap with thousands of mp and fuel in reserve with 1 player having lost his whole army, vet, no vehicles at only been able to afford a single new PV.

When you are 50 VP low and your partner lost most of their shit, you are forced to take stupid risky decisions and you don't have time to deal with things properly. Ele in the middle of the map without support and KT base rushing on it's own just sealed the deal.

The pounder emplacement was a response to the Elephant. There was no point to bring it up before, specially when the opponent is OKW with a Stuka and OH with PW and mortar already in game and you know they had pick Ele doctrine with Dive bomb as well.

You could argue that it all started with the PV been low in health after taking 2 shots by the emplacement. The first one was free of guilt, but the second was a stupid mistake. It's like me seeing you plant a mine and then complaining mines are OP after running through that point with a tank.

Yes that's what i meant. This rof is widely given vet but panther got armor and blitz as other vet, which their present uses are questionable these days.

Some additional for blitz

You are really missing the point. He is basically telling you to use Blitz/Combat blitz BEFORE taking damage. As it meant to be use.

OH Blitz reduces the size of your tank and combat blitz gives you RoF + acc boost in exchange for the acceleration component.

Ok will change it to ranges close to 22.5 if it make you feel happy.
Their DPS at Range 20 is similar to DPS of an vet 0 LMG grenadier and better than vet 0 riflemen.

Is that close range DPS a multiplication over their base values or calculated at 100% acc?

As you mention that close range their acc is over 100%, it means that it wouldn't be able to deal more damage over that 100%.
If it was mid/long range it would be less of an issue as you have cover most of the time to take into account.

You are guaranteed to do X damage. You are not doing X + Accuracy bonuses levels of damage.

Is this the direction we’re headed? Removal of armour entirely and 1990 rts style health bars?

Why does armour have to be meaningless, I don’t understand.

Because armor value is low enough that is meaningless against AT guns and TDs but relevant against medium tank and other low penetration vehicles.

Not all factions have 2 vehicles which can work exclusively against medium and another one against heavies.

You'll need armor in the levels of IS2/KT for it to be relevant.

Armor below 300 is too RNG and unreliable. This is why the change on armor for both PV and Pershing made them stronger.
