Flak truck is problematic, that's right. It even frontally penetrates Shermans. But I have a problem with Bofors melting Pumas like crazy. I wish I had the replay (It's easy to test it though). I swarmed Bofors with 3 Pumas, I wasn't aware of its stats. I lost one and had to fall back to save the other 2 with low HP. Shit was crazy fast.
Puma have 50 range.
Bofors have 45?
Also, if you attacked something that hardcountered your attacking units and you didn't knew that, how is it a balance problem again?
Its AI is getting justifiably nerfed, its AT is fine, it won't be killing any medium armor, unless you drive up to it with low hp and exposed rear. Light armor melts to 40mm AA guns of both axis and allies.
I like them; I tend to use them shortly before retreating if pushed off a VP. Thanks to the long delay and large scatter they can delay the decap.
Well, form what I can tell from my experience with them, this is the best use of them, to cover your retreat, either soft or hard, flare on your units, move back, wait for opponent to walk right into barrage that hits everything but his units
Tiger Ace with 55 range and even more penetration is the last thing I want to see in this game.
bofors and brace structure changes are great, Sherman with increased armor was a better version of P4 with cheaper price, so not including the armor buffs in new mod version is good imo.
Tiger ace is completely different unit, so its only logical to say the changes do not apply to it.
Brit infantry weak? Say what now?
Possibly the best regular infantry in the game right now that will only loose to Obbers that are in green cover from the start. Grens and Volks are no match to IS.
Umm, grens>tommies atm.
Volks are cheapest inf in game and will still win vs tommies in close range.
Osttruppen beat tommies in close range in early game.
Where is that best mainline infantry?
Because in my book, that'll be rifles after the patch.
Does someone have a replay in his pocket where a MHT flame barrage is used against a "braced" emplacement ?
Had a game last night, MHT incendiary hit my mortar pit, I instantly turned brace on, burned 100-0.
After that happened to both my emplacements, no remorse for using croc.
No rep, but I played with Zarok, so he can confirm it for you.
