Why does the T70 need such nerfs (justified as its too strong against clumped units) when there are already changes made to unit clumping? That's a double nerf. The nerf to scatter is way too harsh guys, what the F are you smoking

The T70 is the most brutal light tank currently in the game. It may keep that spot, but when you are retreating it can still hit you hyper accurace, Mostly of the time I lose the squad, even when I retreat them with 3/4/5 members in it. The T-70 is the one unit in this game where I let my infantry retreat from in a quick way.

'Veterancy 1 now Grants -10% received accuracy'
This is too much defensive power too early; rather split it between Vet1 and Vet3

AssGrens are in my own opinion crap and only effective on short range. I think the -10% received accuracy let them be more viable in the game in the longer run.

You say they are strong but then A) make them more durable AND B) Buff their long range DPS. Rather just pick A or B - dont do both, it'll make them the new meta
Since it's the only elite infantry that the Ostheer has in this game I think it's well deserved. Charging in with this unit on others is a bad and stupid idea, since you'll drop models fast and lose your dps. They're really delicate to handle.

M5 could do with an acceleration buff because it can't escape from any attack whatsoever and now units can more easily close on it
Agree on this one

Guards: this is not a 'infantry scaling' problem, as you tried to make it. Making them cost more and take more damage won't make people choose Guard Motor any less. The real problem is inflexible soviet tiering - all you're doing here is reducing the options the faction has.
The better solution would be to halve the time to research conscript AT nade, or add small AT gun to T1 - and THEN nerf guards as above.
Although I agree with your inflexible soviet tiering, I do think the guards got a deserved nerf. Perhaps the incresed mp is a bit too much, but surely it's survivability was insane. Yesterday I had 2 retreating squads of guards with both 2/6 members in it running through 2x volks with STG, 1 sturm and even when my infantry was standing still I didn't killed them. Also it's really hard to deal with them just because they scale so damn well.

'Prioritise Vehicle now only affects the main gun of the affected tank, but not the MGs. Thus, vehicles with the Prioritise Vehicles ability active will continue to engage infantry with their MGs.'
Best change in the patch, well done

that is incorrect, you do not lose long range DPS and that is why it is badly designed upgrade...
