You are doing some heavy tailoring there but allow me. The V1 relied on recon of a known position and time to construct a ramp and set the auto pilot, for a chance to hit an area. The targets generally being cities. Id cast serious doubt on its ability to hit a bridge with a singe deployment. So yes, fiction on a heavy level and certainly again not used on single positions of troops on a platoon or battalion level as COH1 depicted. Quite often as a counter to USF base howitzers as I remember (in the game not life).

V1 isn't a story of its own, its tactical use is pure fiction. They didn't run out and make a ramp to launch one at a moving tank column.

And yes, I am aware the Luftwaffe existed post Bodenplatte, but its ability to make significant change on the landscape was very limited so in the games context, fictional.

And yes, the Sturmtriger regiments as any other would have kept records of being deployed. But is success out in the field has not earned it anywhere near its reputation in COH as a franchise. It did great when its target was a city, what it was meant for. This changed when its target was tactical not strategic.

So again, Relic has little regard for Fictional history. Black prince cant simply vanish as that will break their product day one. So the discussion cant just be oh remove it, or add these other units last moment.

V1s didn't participate in tactical combat, Bergetigers didn't recover complete wreck vehicles, The Luftwaffe didn't participate much after Boddenpatte and they are present in the franchise doing so. I think its fairly clear that Relic tailors fiction to suit a narrative, and I'm fine with the Black prince, its not very out of this world and especially not in Relics franchise context.

I mean if they've been balancing the unit to be an allied heavy to counter the Tigers presence, I wouldn't want them to remove it and create balance issues. Since Relic doesn't care about timelines of units and you are obsessed with the deployment thing, they could add another allied heavy with he same stats from another time period in the war I guess. But simply removing the Black Prince alone is a pretty non starter and Relic isn't just going to create a vacuum, that means day one broken balance.

I already said i dont mind if they picked a different model off the ones you mentioned before. You know that saw combat. Just the black prince sounds cool and i understand why they choose it. But you may have missed that part.
Axis are already bordering on prototype units with for example the st but i never was against its inclusion even stock. There is not much difference here between them in numbers build and nr off actions.

There never was this level off outrage over other units before. The pershing got some outrage for not fitting in the faction design in coh2.
Now its about a prototype.
None of them complained about the over representation of axis heavies, wich they should do if their logic is consistant.
I am 100% sure that most who fanaticaly dont want the bp added will do a 180° if it was a german prototype.

Yes brits have heavies, there just not played much for a reason. So you dont see their heavies much iff at all. And its mostly just the comet. And some crocodile use.
Axis heavies are more viable and available then most allied heavies. They always have them and even spam them in big games. They mostly have some small drawbacks opposed to major strengths. Therin lies the problem.
