Nah, its pretty useless. You use it to reach top speed faster now obviously, which doesn't take very long even without using the ability. It should be a speed boost like before, just toned down a bit to not be insane cartoonish speed.
It works great on the slow and sluggish panthers and tigers, but not so great on the medium tanks. I think this is fine, considering the soviet capture point ability is great on the T70 and T34s, but bad on the more expensive heavy tanks.
This lol change making SU85 a joke in Langres.
If only germans had some other ways to deal with SU85s...
