Simple question, don't you think it's little OP? I think there is no other unit with such huge impact when hit battleground. IS2, ISU152, King Tiger, Panther, Sherman... None of these can achive 30-40 models in first 4-6mins since the entrance.
The worst is OKW vs USF when USF player went for Lieutenant. Even with dropped AT gun with Airborne, Luchs can just wipe everything cause of pudding Rifle AT nades.
It's really fast, great rate of fire, can flank AT guns without any problems, small target size, stealth mode. Captain can't even aim and fire with bazooka cause Luchs will wipe whole squad faster.
When compared to Stuart or T70, Luchs is deadly for infantry. Imagine situation where Volks with schreck couldn't shoot at Stuart because they were wiped by Stuart faster.
It's a light tank but bazookas are useless since Luchs will wipe whole squad faster.
If you find window gap to use Luchs it's so punishing you can't do anything to counter this until Sherman or T34 but even then, Sherman is pushed back by Volks.
Luchs is very low risk unit and really, really high reward.
I remember time when t70 was wiping everything behind lines and what? Nerf.
Volley fire? It was too punishing for Axis to retreat unit so early because of this ability and what? Kubel.
