Because assuming that Penals are balanced, nobody is going to bother going with a risk/reward tier there is so many other options. Tier 1 needs access to some kind of anti tank, else Tier1 will just never be seen again.

Problem with T1 is that through the history of CoH2, it's been a crap or cheese tier. There's no such thing as "combined" arms. On T2 you might get a maxim, a mortar and a Zis. On T1 you just generally spam 1 of the 3 units.
-We spam clowncars till they nerf blitz, crew having 50% chance of dying, nerf damage on the move, cost, snipers inside, damage on the move for units inside, indirect nerf due to buff n changes to other units (222, Volks faust, SP cost)
-We double "spam" snipers till they remove sprints, overhauled OKW and add heavy counters to cloak/snipers.
-We got Penals to "cheese" heavy snow + satchel, steal OH weapons and finally their current iteration.

I think that in the end, PTRS can be fine on Penals. But i believe in a world, where T1 lacks direct AT (which nowadays can be get with cheaper T2) but compensates with good AI and utility (AT satchels should be kept).

Haha oh my, is that because the game wasn't RNG enough already relic decided to hold back incase it needed more randomness XD

I get their thinking but wow.

Every flamethrower/plane/random building collapse/explosion/crew shock/blizzard/etc tells a story. A story of a salty player

Return Pripyat to automacht, only balanced 1v1 map

I'll rather play Pripyat than Stalingrad.

Ontopic
Maps which re enter the automatch pool:

-Stalingrad/Langres Winter with heavy snow (Axis always spawn south)
-Don River
-Oka River summer
-Face off at Rostov

Base Howitzer/Flares:
There's plenty of space to improve it. Not gonna expand on this.

Mortar pit:
-Reduce auto attack range to 80/90

-Reduce cooldowns on barrage
-HE barrage is the current barrage. Keeps the present stats with the benefit of having the 115 range.
-Make smoke a vet 0 barrage
-Introduce any of the following barrage (which could be the vet1 ability or just keep smoke as the vet1):
---A) Light HE barrage: 40/60 damage per shell, low AoE, SU levels of RoF, but with 140 range (vet3 ISG has 140 on barrage). A barrage meant to dislodge garrison or force moving a static positions.
---B) WP Barrage: 2 salvos (4 shells), slow RoF (time between each salvo) and big range (115/130). Again meant as an antigarrison/static position. Non lethal (brings units to 1HP).

-Reduce cost of mortar pit to 350mp
Concept 1:
-Split brace into 2 abilities with shared cooldown:
---Brace 1: reduces damage from explosives and ballistic weapons
---Brace 2: reduces damage from small arm fire and flame weapon
Concept 2:
-Mortar pits is as resilient as now, but crew will eventually die if healing is not applied (not sure if possible). Flame weapons will kill the crew faster than the mortar pit itself (unless they use brace).

Note: this is just a mock up idea, which doesn't have a deep thought on how the interactions with commander abilities nor time consuming would be to implement.

TL;DR: Reduce performance on automatic fire and give more options for player input. Reduce mp cost but open up more ways of dealing with it.

It's not about the PIV on it's own, rather than the tank on it's context. IMO it's not about simple buffing the PIV or nerfing the other tanks, but several small tweaks. Say, instead of buffing by 10% the PIV or nerfing other mediums by 10%, i think a 5% buff and 5% nerf to achieve the same overall difference.
PD: this will just apply to OH PIV.

PIV:
-Reduce fuel cost by 5
-Increase pen by 5/10 on n/f

Note/Idea: this is just to further emphasize it's scaling capabilities. What about increasing accuracy on MG/Gunner with vet? Veterancy n cover makes this aspect less relevant on the late game, which furthers makes HE and crushing more reliable as AI.

T3485:
I don't think the MG buff was intended, just an oversight. If it possible it should had it's own profile. If not, then...
-Increase cost to 135f/140f from 130f (it's old cost when it was a single call in)

Sherman:
-I'm kinda reluctant on reducing pen by 5/10

UKF:
I think the issue is mostly the early vs late game potential and the teching cost. Comet is a different can of worms and should be address separately (slight tweaks on PV). With that been said...
Cromwell:
-Not sure why they have 0.75 acc on the move. Reduce it to 0.6/0.65 (OKW level)
-Increase fuel cost by 5
-I'm kinda reluctant on reducing pen by 5/10

Um it is. Its not feedback for the mod its my question in general, because mortars were nerfed because they were overperforming at vet 3, while IGs was unchached with its range, accuracy and power and its still OKW cheese meta in 2v2. All I want to just hear the point of why its wasnt somehow changed or ajusted.

Cause mortars at vet 3 were not supposed to have that range buff, no one asked for them and they still implemented it on the last patch.
ISG is not overperforming, but rather annoying to face (same as 120mm). ISG needs better barrage, probably smoke (n maybe Hollow shells for sake of identity) and antigarrison capabilities at the expense of a worst AA range and accuracy. But that's out of the scope of this patch.
Long range indirect fire (120mm, ISG, Pack Howie, Mortar pit) should be less of deploy and forget and require a bit more input if you want to use that extended range. But that's just IMO.

I understand the nerfs and the pretty big noob buff (homing projectile). But what I am getting at is their effectiveness relative to schreks for the price. I think they are far better value than sturm schreks in this mod.

Then your complain is not mostly about the PIAT rather than the SP schreck cost, which again, is not a specific issue with this mod rather than the live game.
