Another issue with Penals is Veterancy.They have a very low veterancy requirement (540/1080/2160).
In Comparison:
PGrens/Shocks/Paratroopers/Rangers: 680/1360/2720
Guards: 640/1280/2560

I would say that raising the Veterancy requirement would better reflect their power. Perhaps to the level of Guards?

Penals have already gone up in veterancy requirements. Sorry about not mentioning it.

It should be with their new cost at 600/1200/2400

Also I've got work done on the next upcoming version and I think it's safe to say it'll be V3 as we haven't been updating the number in ages and I will be looking over more of the unit veterancy. So far only one change is confirmed, but I'll try to keep everyone posted.

Upcoming

Command Panther
Adjusted the damage of Marked Target to be less, but provides other benefits to compensate to make the ability less punishing to lighter tanks.

-Marked Target from 1.5 Received Damage to 1.25 Received Damage 1.25 Penetration and 1.25 Received Accuracy.

Bug-Fixes

-Ostruppen reserves not calling in a second Ostruppen squad
-Hold-FIre being unavailable for Infiltration Commandos

Lol so better stick with SU-76 horde for now. When I get a heavy TD, I expect it to hit hard, not tickle heavy like that. M10 with HVAP is better in every way and much cheaper, Jackson can now spot and fire, Firefly gets skill Tulip and blitz from Hammer. Seriously what advantages does the SU-85 got compared with other heavy TD?

And the SU-85 has the highest penetration at range and rate of fire of either three stock Allied TDs with one of the Allied TDs relying on an expensive gimmick to get anything done. Furthermore, it probably has the highest survivability against the the main predators of TDs which is ATGs by being the hardest to hit.

It is worse against heavies in terms of the number of shots required to kill, but it's also not as punished for its misses and does better at the range their intended to fight at. Furthermore, it can self-spot which helps it as the Jackson got a massive hit to its self-sighting veterancy in the Balance Preview. Firefly can get a TC for more LOS, but it's also the most expensive TD of the bunch and can still die at the same rate as the SU-85 if not faster.

Penetration
SU-85: 240/230/220

Jackson: 240/220/200

Firefly: 260/240/210

Accuracy

SU-85: 0.055/0.045/0.04 (0.5 Moving)

Jackson: 0.055/0.045/0.035 (0.75 Moving)

Firefly: 0.08/0.07/0.05 (0.75 Moving)

Reload Including Wind-up/Windown

SU-85: 5.4

Jackson: 7.425 (Includes wind-down and wind-up)

Firefly: 10 (8 in Preview)

And people saying that the SU-85 tickles heavies, most games show heavies and tanks will generally back away after receiving 1-2 penetrating shots unless it's an all in or it's chasing a badly wounded unit. And the SU-85 only needs 1 more shots to kill the 1040 and 1280 heavies which by that point, it has already put in another shot thanks to its faster reload. It also penetrates the KT 76% of the time at veterancy 2 with that penetration buff versus 51% of the time with its old penetration.

What about giving the M3A1 some ability to actually scale into the late-game through the support role? It's not going to be on the front-line after the first 5 minutes and it's not that strong in counter-harassment, so give it something else.

I've experimented in the CE mod where you pay munitions to give it an ambulance healing aura so Soviets can choose to pay munitions rather than MP for healing, but there are plenty of other ways. Maybe some sort of stationary camo for scouting, mobile repairs, maybe have Kubel mini-map hack, etc, etc.

Give the thing 160 more health and I'd think it'd be pretty good aside from then moving to rework veterancy.

The thing can tank a lot of damage if it had more health and maybe a veterancy ability that reduces incoming damage, but forces the tank to be stationary

You might have started reading but now comes the difficult part of actually understanding what you read...

I did not claim that 120mm does more than 80 but that the m8 does... and it actually does 100 damage...so it does lethal damage (+80 damage) in bigger radius than than the 120mm...

M8 Near AOE Distance: 1

120mm Near AOE Distance: 1.5

Furthermore, the 120mm has much less drop off sitting at 0.5 at 3m vs the Scotts 0.1(Mod) at 3m. And the 3m is the 120mms mid-range, not its far.

Even with 100 damage, I'm pretty sure the M8's damage is less than the 120mm at 1.5 meters, like somewhere around 50 damage given how harshly the 75mm drops-off.
