What i would like to see happen with the KV-8.

-Increase its armor to that of the KV-1
This would help it deal better with blobs, which should be it main role

-Lower its cost to 120 fuel even 115 fuel (would say the some for the KV1)

Neither the KV1 or the KV8 are worth there fuel cost right now. I mean they have better health and armor then most medium tank, but really lake the fire power.

-Make it easier to gain vet

I have never seen one hit vet 3 in like 2 years of playing this game.

-Give it a Vet 1 ability to make a wall of flames (like the Chinese flame tanks from C&C generals)

Would help to deal with blobs, and anything is better the Cap pints vet ability. I mean anything

-i also would be game to some of the changes to the M-42 gun.

Armour would be good along with veterancy rate(most AI tanks suffer this), but I say no to make it cost less than a PIV in terms of fuel. You're paying for durability, heavy-tank properties(crush) and its firepower isn't horrendous, it's just different as it a sustained DPS unit rather than relying on burst. Veterancy could be the flame wall or another combat boost like the WFA armies tend to get.

On the 45mm gun, I don't see any problem with making it like the 45mm ATG. It would at least shoot fast enough to be a nuisance to tanks when it gets closer along with a weapon swap time reduction.

The Pack Howtzer needs MAJOR buffs,it performes worse then a ISG and 81/82mm mortars yet costs more.
its has very short range(and it has huge minimal firing range,it has AWFUL ACCURACY very RNG depended,it cant retreat,gets decrewed when it loses 4 men and all that for 380 MP XD.
if you think this unit is ok you either have RNG in your favor or just havent used it

It needs adjustments that is all unless you want to redesign the unit. Make the veterancy improve auto-fire (pretty sure giving it back the old auto-fire HEAT rounds would be too much), increase the number of shells per barrage (move to 6?) to make it better at bombing positions, and maybe adjust survivability against indirect-fire since 3 members of the crew bunch up heavily. This would make it better as it vets without needing to barrage with HEAT, allow it to be better at forcing units to move/shell positions.

Also it's range isn't that bad for the job it currently excels at which is a direct-fire gun that can barrage over obstacles rather than a mortar. If people are closing from its 80 firing range to is 40 minimum without stopping, get spotters.

I agree in general. M5 they wanna nerf it its redicolous. It wont help them much. M5 is a rare unit. Has its weakneses.
1. Bad acceleration
2. Loses to luchs
3. small dps at long range
that why most 1v1 players prefer T70.
plus this patch Sov is very MP heavy so must spend fuel on smth like T70.

1. Just on par with its Ostheer counterpart which only has .2 speed and .1 acceleration more. 7.2/2.1 versus 7.0/2.0 while having a superior upgrade and is resistant to small-arms. And with the Quad, you dont even need to brake to do its job and you can even kick it into Overdrive given how fast it gets vet.

2. Any everything else in the T3 will beat the Luchs down and the M5 Quad shouldn't be able to take on the Luchs. Quad can already beat down the majority of the other light vehicles unless it's a Puma(soft-hard counter) while the Luchs requires OKW's T3 and will set them back. And the Luchs still needs time to actually kill the Half-track.

3. 11 DPS at range of 45 and very strong suppression capabilities that is superior to many small-arms based weapons and MGs at this range. And if it gets close, bye-bye infantry squad (excellent counter-harassment) (Only incendiary will get you something similar)

4.Soviets manpower heavy? You losing 5/6 conscripts per fight and 5/6 weapon teams? I'm sorry, but Soviets don't bleed manpower that badly unless you're doing something wrong or are just running head on and hoping to win. Throw the M5 with T2 and good luck clearing all those 6 man support teams.

If we remove the Ambush damage altogether, it makes the expensive Commandos lack anything special that represents how they operated. Not saying the the Ambush should stay as it is though. How about making a +50% accuracy the only buff they get and only for 5 Seconds after opening fire? No RoF, Damage, Armour or Penetration Buffs. It's realistic that they have better aim when performing a surprise attack.

Unless they changed the Sten guns DPS, they don't really need the bonus. I think it was ridiculously high despite being stock.
