And that is why they are more expensive

Yes there. If one make PTRS good at late tank both Penal and Guards will be broken.

Penal will offer great early AI, Anti light capability and late AT capability and there will be no reason to use anything else.

Yes they are. Their semi elite status makes arrive to early and it has been attempted to balance them with long build time that does not work the same across game modes

while they fail miserably in "anti light vehicles" role only to be frustrating for both user and opponent with their satchel charges and AT satchels charges.

That is they would have to be used with conscripts an offensive and defensive infantry.

This is a much better idea in my opinion. Personally I usually don't use ram unless I think the tank cannot be saved or I'm trying to kamikaze anyway.

But I think it's important to look at why Ram + Off-Map is the go-to method for dealing with Elefant / Jagdtiger despite the combined cost in Manpower, Fuel, and Munitions. The Elefant and Jagdtiger are heavy casemate tank destroyers with 110 Rear Armor and 1040HP, the SU-85 cannot challenge them because it is woefully outranged and outgunned, so they must flank it with T-34-76 but this is not successful either because the immense HP and occasional bouncing mean that you could leave it idle and alone and it'll take a pair of T-34-76's twenty seconds to kill it.

Unlike facing the ISU-152, the Soviets don't have a Panther they can send forth to poke holes in the front or front sides without risking swift annihilation. An Elefant does 300 damage, so a shot to an SU-85 that dare challenge it will put it down to 340HP in a single counter-hit. An ISU does 240 damage, so if a Panther steps up to challenge it, a successful counter-hit will only put it down to 720.

RA is target size right?

If you look at all mainline infantry, allies vet up greatly reduce their target size.

while grens target size is unchanged. vetted cons ts is better than grens!

thus imo RA removal in vsl is bad nerf to a doctrine choice.

Since the SU85 and ISU are getting nerfed and the T34 ram is locked with vet now, what's the most viable way to fight an Elefant or other super heavy in team games? The standard answer is flanking but with how dense 4v4s get and how squishy T34s are (plus Panthers are getting buffed) that's often not viable, especially since when I use the Elefant I mine all of the flanking routes.
