Maybe it,s just my luck,but the shots from the at rifles either bounce off the armour of armoured car or warp through the car entirely 70 per cent of the time. now they,re pretty much obsolete against late game armour.

Try Giga-blob TH+Rifleman+CS and you will change your opinion.

You make it sound like amassing infantry is very easy and if you allow blobs to build up with have no proper counter then it,s not the unit,s fault.

pretty much ALL the factions could blob infantry(of course it,s going to be effective to have 5 TH grouped together against a few puma which are arriving one by one) and how was blobbing related to the cost effectiveness of the tank hunters anyway?They are hardly a deterrence to even armoured car unless in numbers and with man v tank.One of the problem is that there,s completely no reason to use Th to at gun.

Maybe a replay may prove it is effective.Plus the Mg42 and mortar with take down blobs effectively.

Balance Discussion / [1.60] What do you think of Soviet Tank Hunters?

« on: April 27, 2012, 11:16:46 AM »

  This is my first post in the Eastern front mod forum and I have a balance concern.

My concern lies with the Soviet Tank Hunter,they have been Nerfed HUGELY(every aspect was nerfed) after patch 1.6 and I am starting to wonder if they have much use at all .

Before I got man v tank,they have only 1 anti tank rifle,I mean seriously???1 anti tank rifle(worst than even bazooka) for a dedicated AT infantry?It may have been fine before the patch,now its dam and pen have been reduced I seriously doubt its usefulness.

My experience with them ,re just terrible they could hardly stop a puma while in green cover with man v tank upgrade.
You may argue that the first strike bonus added is a buff,nooo way,how would a weapon which rely on speed of fire ever benefit from a first strike bonus?I really don,t see why you increase the cloak time as well.

Now they seem to die incredibly FAST to anything,I could rarely get them in the range of the German vehicle just to scratch their paint job .
The cost effectiveness sucks as well,you spend the almost same amount of mp as the at gun to get something with only 1/8 of its fire-power.

I really do not understand what tick off the devs soo much that they nerf the tank hunters to this state of oblivion and I don,t think doing its job well is a very good reason.

I really think tank hunters needs to be restored to a more useful state,they are a waste of manpower and there is hardly reason to get close range support.

Opinion?
