PE rebuild

[cephalos]

PE is good as it is. They rock.

[ÜberScrub]

As someone else once said, I think they were introduced as a defensive alternative but it didn't really work

When you can see through the veil, things are never as simple as people say it is.  There was definitely politics and self-interest involved, along with the fact that the person that forced it in had absolutely no clue how to play the game.  The result is a fucking ugly child that no one wants to see except for its possessive mother who has no idea how to raise her child.  So now what you get is a state of welfare, where our balancers are forced to feed and raise it.

Beautiful.

The Panzer Elite are only missing two things:

A sniper ability - Could be given to G43 upgunned Pgrens.

Main gun upgrade for the Pz IV stubby, to a proper Pz IV gun capable of engaging tanks.

I see neither coming in this mod.

Apart from the Soviets, they're my favourite faction.

This is the weakness of the PE. If you remove that weakness then the faction in a whole becomes OP because the G43s are avalible to you right off the bat like recon squads, and snipers are a key unit to get against the PE because of small squad sizes.

Well, while it's not so much of a bad idea, I wouldn't call the P4 a solid counter to tanks. It's more of like a sherman in terms of firepower (Referring to Wehrmacht P4), and the PE has plenty of legitimate AT options within the tiers so I don't think it's really too much of a worry. PE also lacks serious AI powers during the late game if you take that P4 away unless you spam MP44s.

They are indeed a fun faction to play!

PE already have a sniper ability, called AT-HT with aimed shots.

Which is quiet expensive but you get a vehicle sniper.

Well, yes, but it's not theoretically T1, cost quite a bit of fuel to tech there, cost fuel to make, is a liability against ATGs and HMGs where the Sniper offers the ability to easily kill that.

I counter sniped 3 soviet snipers of dennis with it yesterday though

I'm fully aware of the AT Halftrack. It's quite amazing with it's treadbreaker as well.

The Marder III suffices for AT duty quite nicely, especially if you have two of them working together spaced properly apart to avoid flanking and clusterfucking once the artillery hits.

The PE have workarounds, they're just more complicated and take more time to get out there.
