Dont even reply to him. He clearly has no idea how huge advantage AA units* give you in late game, especially vs OST with JU-87 loiter.


*Unless it's a Quad which cannot take down planes or it's OST fuel/ammo drop which is immortal

The quad is just a suppression platform while IS-2 and ISU-152 are real AA units for soviets

He is right though.

Also, reconnects can't be possible because when the AI take over the game "cheats" (AI get extra resources to compensate the fact that it is an AI), if you come back after that it would give you an unfair advantage.

Only expert AI gets extra resources and map hacks. The one that replaces a player who drops is hard AI that has no handicap. That's why it's so bad.

The WC-51 is pretty much useless, especially for its cost, since okw got fausts.

It was great against okw if you could use the super-early game superiority in 1v1s, but if you didn't manage to break the resistance until early-mid game you ware in a very bad position. Now, with okw having faust, its cost still kills your fast tech, even if you didn't have to choose fun but bad mechanised commander, but you have no real advantage from having it. Especially as it was best used when standing right on top of enemy soldiers, or even pushing them out of cover.

I actually think the flamer on the hetzer is fine. It's the Kv-8 and croc over performing.

It's true that croc is an ultimate machine of doom for infantry but it also comes very late, at the same time as its hardcounters, JT and Ele, so it has in fact no window of opportunity. At the same time its light counters: stug and JP4, are both available much earlier and for fraction of the price they are worth. People just have to learn to expect the croc and not rely on infantry based AT to much unless they are sure there is no croc coming from brit player, especially in 1v1.

As for KV-8 it was really OP in some patches, but right now it feels ok imo. Thanks to its unique flamethrower damage profile, it is more a tool to make enemy squads retreat than a wiping machine, if you don't let it attack you at HQ, it most likely is not going to kill any model that has full health. The dot damage simply means it is not that good at chasing retreating squads.

And here is my only concern about giving hetzer the kv-8 flamer - the hetzer has quite good top mg, that seems to be really good for chasing squads. If it got the kv-8 flamer, it should probably loose the ability to shoot that mg. Maybe it would be good idea to give it option to either upgrade to top mg or to better flamer.

At the same time it would be also usefull to think about hetzer vet. Its something that we don't look seriously at, becouse its hard to even get to vet1 with it, but it has 5 stars of really powerfull vet, including flamer buffs. This should probably be changed, mostly into defencive buffs.

I've searched for the word OP in this entire topic WITHOUT me editing any of my comments and I have no comment that accuses you of saying that the KV8 is OP.

You Aussies sure are whack tho, on the defensive even when I'm not attacking you lol.

The fact that somebody has the word "australian" in his nick, doesn't mean he is australian yet, just saying
