You're welcome

The short answer is yes:

One of the reasons Dragoon is so important is that it captures intact Southern French ports and a functioning rail net leading out from them


However, there are other logistic issues as well:

In addition, many of the French ports on Biscay and the Channel have Germans holed up in them, in some cases until the end of the war

Further after taking Antwerp Monty does not clear the approaches from German troops, instead trying to get across the Rhine - this means that a large port right behind the allied advance is not available into much later than it could have been.


Nevertheless keeping the road and rail net undamaged so you can use it after you win does you no good if you don't win in the first place.

The allies are dependent on a sea LOC that can be shut down by the weather - and at one point it is; and they have to get their supplies and reinforcements in by sea faster than the Germans can do so by land. Anything that slows that up is good (hence the importance of Fortitude in keeping 15th Army around Calais)


In addition the Germans are, apart from a small motorised elite that is getting smaller, an army dependent on marching and rail transport so they need those rail links much more than the allies.

The allies are able to organise the Red Ball Express to supply their troops by truck, the Germans do not have that option.


In addition, once you do start pushing the Germans back they are going to try and destroy all that rail infrastructure anyway so you cannot use it.


So:

Leaving the rail net in Northern France undamaged will help the allies once they are able to advance, but it will help the Germans much more whilst they are defending

Tbh the amount of ptrs blobber seems to decrease. I encountered less in the passed couple of days.

Which is what happens when anything gets buffed:


Unit never gets used

It gets buffed so it is actually good (or new content comes out)

People who have never needed to counter it before don't know how

They complain it is OP

People adapt to the new situation and learn counters & People move on to other strats

++++++++++

Relic could make the SU-76 marginally viable instead of the unmitigated turd of a vehicle it is now and someone would still start a thread saying it's OP because they've never had to deal with it before

Playercards are just a way for people to tell each other why their opinions don't matter

Otherwise I am pretty much just guessing
