Well sir if you can get a vanilla Tiger to vet2 in 5mins that is one hell of an achievement! You must be tearing allied Armour apart!
Look you clearly won't be changing your mind regarding the TA, it is highly unlikely that there will be any changes to it in the future as it is about as perfectly balanced as it can be now.
Once again I suggest you form a strategy around the current TA that works for you, many players use this unit, it is totally 100% viable even with its resource penalties. Im not sure what game modes you play but if its 2v2 id be happy to PM you how I use it!
I agree. T/A is fine if used correctly.
The problem is, it is a bit of a gimmick and only viable in certain situations.
What needs to change is the number of commanders available in game, other wise Elite troops just takes up a commander slot when it is can only be used 20% of the time.
