Alright, continuing from last thread's question I had, a couple people said Brit tanks are shit.

How shit are we talking here? Not the best but still playable shit, or "oh god youre going to get destroyed" shit? The cromwells don't look too bad. I mainly want them because they're ugly as sin, covered in rivets, and not really all that practical, which is my fetish with tanks.

I also found a PDF list for taking a Churchill company, but it has hilariously limited options and I don't think it would do well. I guess if I ever want to get my Churchill on I could always just try that later on though.

I did just find the Desert Rats lorried rifle company in Overlord, which I'm taking a look at now. Guess I could run that too since I doubt New Zealanders look all that different. I'm banging together lists right now while I figure out what I would need roughly to make a solid list that would be fun to paint.

Okay so listen up, I'm about to drop some truth. Typically British Armour is in fact: Shit. It has next to no mobility because of Semi Indirect Bombardment. Medium Armour Companies have no goddamn armour at all. Shermans are Front Armour Six. The only way you'll get a save is at long range and then usually on a Six. You don't get Flamethrowers, or breakthrough guns, so you'll need infantry to remove other infantry.

The Firefly is a Tank Killer beyond compare, it's AT-15 and rerolls failed to hit rolls if it stood still. The Challenger A30 gets the Battlefront treatment and gets Rate of Fire three rather than two.

Now for some Downsides:

GUNTANK, MOTHERFUCKING GUNTANK EXISTS SOLELY TO SCREW YOU OVER. On a Five Plus, the hits have to go onto the Fireflies first. Which means if that there's a good third of the time where your squadron will be left impotent and toothless with only 75mm Shermans to take on the prowling Cats.
Did I mention the lack of Breakthrough guns and flamethrowers? Because it really stings coming back to the British after playing factions that can access them or playing Early War where they're rare.
Semi Indirect Fire seems like the best idea doesn't it? Camp behind this hill, and shoot at them, First off it doesn't activate unless they're beyond the Long Range mark, which brings us to our second fuck you. Veterans now get hit on Five Plus, so if they're concealed and Gone to Ground, you can't hit them at all. In practice this leaves your squadrons immobile and just waiting for return fire that's longer ranged than yours.

In terms of Sherman armour, you get a selection of choices, you can take the various Overlord Companies, at the risk of being only AT 14, it's a little less awful than it used to be, when it was only AT 13. Mostly in Confident Trained with a few CVs scattered into the mix. Guards Armoured can reroll their platoon and company Motivation checks, so bear that in mind.

Cont.

Some british tanks are nuff. Others are very good. The Churchill companies are very solid. Cromwells are expensive, yes, but can be very powerful.

Most people cry "shit" because you either get them RV Desert rats or as hellishly expensive pseudo-recce units. If you actually know how to work within that to your advantage they do great.

Really, It's the Sherman companies that are harder to work since, y'know, guntaking fireflies is easy. Unless you take one of the lists that lets you put your FFs in a separate platoon. That works.

The only truly masochistic British Tank list is Airborne Armoured Recce, and even then I think someone here's made that work.

>I also found a PDF list for taking a Churchill company,
...why would you *need* a .pdf list? There's perfectly good Churchill Companies in both Overlord and Road to Rome, with excellent support options. My Preference is for the RtR one, but the Overlord list is very good too.

Well huh, look at that. Thanks, time to do more reading.

To Virus, yeah no way in hell I'm taking Shermans if I can help it. Right now I'm just wanting Cromwells and Churchills and any of the other home made abominations the Brots managed to cobble together before they hit the beaches on D-Day. I don't really know much about Brot tank design so I'm pretty much looking at anything that's odd or different.

I'm about to go to bed, but I'll post a list or two tomorrow after I've had more time to see what each list has.

Then you've got your Market Garden Squadron Choices. Guards Armoured and 11th Armoured, Double Firefly territory and Confident Veteran, Guards Armoured bring Platoon Debus to the table as well, which improves their Tank Rider's Saves.
These are hellishly expensive, a single platoon will run you towards Five hundred points. If you're brave, take JOE Vandeleur. He replaces Semi Indirect fire with Guns Left! Which gives you rerolls at Short Range if you moved.

The Canadians are pretty middle of the road, trading out British Bulldog for Woodsmen and Assault Troops. Then there's the Canadian Armoured Recce Squadron. Stealth Shermans. They get the Eyes And Ears and Cautious Movement rules. 455 points per Squadron, they are expensive, and their advantages go away the second they start shooting. But they're a lot stronger vanilla Sherman Companies.

In Italy, you get more choices, Waaaaaay more options. The 6th Armoured, and South African Armoured can bring platoons of 76mm Shermans, the New Zealanders can bring out an unusual Platoon structure which brings two normal Shermans and a Late Firefly, but can upgrade to a 105mm Sherman, I personally think the New Zealanders are some of the better British Sherman Armour you can get, it solves your breakthrough gun lack, and the platoon is reasonably cheap at only 290 points.
Italian British Shermans can get a lot of 105s

Cromwell Forces are a little better than Shermans. Cromwells in Normandy are the RV Desert Rats with the Cautious Not Stupid Rule. They come in Squadrons of three Cromwells and a early Firefly. It's a lot better, leave the Firefly somewhere good and let it snipe, then run the faster moving Cromwells out smack the side armour. In Holland they upgrade to the Challenger A30, do the same thing, but enjoy three shots.

Churchill Forces don't really differ much between Italy and France. Bring Crocodiles if you hate having Friends. Enjoy the fact that your Churchill VII have front armour 13.

I think Spamming New Zealand Late Armoured Squadrons could actually work quite well in the new Points limit.
For 980 points, you can bring in four Late Fireflies, and four 105mm Shermans and you've still got more points to spend.

>>36367171
British Support is a bit of a Mixed bag. Typhoons suffer from not having bombs, but they're cheaper for not having Flying Tank.

25pdr batteries are not game winners, you can split the batteries up to fire two smoke bombardments or HE bombardments per turn. They don't have the same killing power that 105 gun tubes have. You can get Heavy Mortars, but without a Staff team, they're a little worse.

British Infantry are getting better as they get better access to Armoured Transports, Bring a platoon for holding an Objective or for clearing up a objective.

SP AT squadrons are rubbish frankly. 3" Guns aren't powerful enough for late war, and Achilles do not have Semi Indirect Bombardment which would make them pretty great.

So TL:DR. Take Cromwells. If you want British Shermans, take New Zealanders, Canadian Recce.

Perhaps, but they're also the only reeeally heavy AT a RtR Chruchill company has access too, outside of air. And they're not awful in that role; since they have a swarm of tough-ass Churchills keeping attention focused away from them. Or Crocs.

Crocodiles are fucking wonderful, even with V3's Nerf to the Flamethrower rules and their deployment rules. They used to be able to kill tanks with their flamethrowers. You send three Front Armour 13 tanks marching up towards their most important platoon, and then your opponent shits himself. Hell, move them at the double, you can afford to not give a shit, you're immune to the FlaK 88, the PaK 40, the KwK 42 at long range, and you get a good save against the KwK 43.

Downside: 510 points for three CV, or 395 CT, and it robs you of Night Attack if you're infantry. But you weren't getting it as a Churchill Company anyway, so it gives you Auto Attack as a direct upgrade rather than arguable sidegrade. Also they're only top armour one because of the Fuel Trailer and the modifications so artillery is a threat. Cover their flanks is the most important thing you can really do with them.

Think of Churchills as Tigers that trade Sheer gunpower for a big-ass price discount, and the potential to get much better armour - Churchill VIIs have FA13, one point shy of a Porsche KT.

As far as the two lists go:
Overlord Chruchills:
Pros:
-Cheaper (only come CT),
-*much* cheaper support,
-Gets AA and Breaching Groups (AVsRE) as support options

Cons:
-Only CT
-Guards option locks out Churchill VIIs
-Grab-bag platoon composition very vulnerable to Guntaking

RtR Churchills:
Pros:
-CV core units
-Excellent homogenous core options, including Church III/IVs with 6pdr(late) guns
-AOP gets access to Dixie Air support
-Can take Sherman Vs instead of Churchills in Core platoons as a low-cost alternative

Cons:
-Expensive core platoons (CV only)
-Very Expensive Support
-Completely lacks AAA support

So yeah. They have their pros and cons. RtR lists will be very small and elite, whereas Overlord lists will have more numbers and support but be more vulnerable to getting selectively fucked up.

Both lists lack really heavy AT - the best you get is Achilles. Though RtR Churchills with late 6pdrs have a very respectable RoF3 AT11 gun, and shred medium tanks in brawls.
You will rely heavily on infantry or crocs in both lists to deal with enemy infantry.

true, but the real horror comes in the fact British lists seem deceptively homogenous, then you notice that this lists lacks X, that list lacks Y, and so on...so, you can rely upon a support choice being there if you want it.

take recon with any and all brit tank forces.

also, why bitch about the Typhoon when it has ROCKETS? unless your dice absolutely hate you, hitting on a 3+ having AT6 v. TA, and a 3+ Firepower make them a very good weapon in any hands. sure, you have a 33% margin of failure, but you can take all comers...

i played Cromwells once, and i loved it. you have to use terrain, and use that speed. knife fight them in the rear, give them 2 choices. also, we can disengage now, and use cautious movement, so, that makes those better.

i'd say: if Brit Armor is your choice take your Sherman lists from Market Garden, take VanDeLeur and Tiffies. I'd bet on Churchhills or Cromwells instead, and i do think the Irish have a list that allows 4 Cromwells per platoon, or was it 5 combat platoons?...either way, it's sick. also HQ CS platoon never gets put in reserve, and it moves just as fast, and can smoke something.

I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, sorry.

The HQ Support Platoon is just a regular platoon and follows all the normal rules for any other platoon. If you have HQ CS tanks then you can either deploy them and count them as one of your platoons for the purposes of up to half on; or you can stick them in reserves in which case you have no 2iC until they come on.

This. They're not a platoon in their own right, as such. They either get combat attached out to another platoon, in which case they're part of that platoon, or they form a NEW platoon with the 2iC, in which case they're still a platoon.

Except that Tanks can't combat attach so if you're taking that option you're taking them as a three tank platoon lead by the 2iC.

so, an update on GIRL und PANZER: Flames of War:

the movie is pushed back to Summer 2015. so, i can't release the sucker until then, due to my desire to add the Chi-Ha Tan school. however, things that have hit the shelves since then are adding to the pot...

The new GUP: Ribbon Warrior series has just begun, only 2 episodes deep: it has already given us a new game format (Tankatholon) a new Warrior character who..oddly, has no HS to back her up, and we now have a new Bonple HS leader character: she's a gallivanting arrogant ass with no morals and plenty of style, Yaika. see pic, it's related.

also: Sanders can LL an M22 Locust for the purpose of Tankatholon play

i am going to follow the series to get good rules for the schools, although i think the title character will rarely see play since it's just her, her driver, and her tank...i can't imagine their entire set up would be more than 180pts...even if i soaked it in rules...

Also, quick question. You can buy trucks for the lorries rifles, but you can only buy two. Now, I might be wrong, but each truck can only carry 4 teams right? But the platoon has 9 stands. So how on earth would you even use the damn things? Wait for someone to kick the bucket so you can mount up, or am I just being an idiot here?

Especially since tank teams can be used as transports as well (tank riders, and all that)... and recce jeeps (and/or universal carriers) are classified as tank teams.

>>36371297
I'm not knocking the Typhoon, I'm just still biased against it from V2. In V2 it went, call for Air Support, check how many planes have turned up, and someone's always pinched your Airplane die into the bargain too. Then Range in, then hit them with your weapons, then they get to save, and then roll firepower. There was a lot that could go wrong and that was before AA support could be factored in.
It's a good asset to have, but then I started Night Fighting as British Infantry and they dropped to completely useless.

In other eras, I don't really play much Armour, I got some reasonable results including a pair of Matilda IIs to bolster my Indian Infantry, but that was before Barbarossa stuck it's metaphorical cock into the Meta. Now I'm probably not going to play British Infantry for fear of coming up against a Barbarossa companies that promise to be so much better armed and armoured than anything we can spit out.

Stuart Armoured Companies used to be crazy go nuts in Early War, but again, pre-Barbarossa.

>>36371386
How are we defining Irish? Because there's the Irish Guards, who get all the Cromwells.

I cut my teeth with British Armour, and left so many of those squadrons burning and bleeding across many a table. It's not forgiving, the Cromwell forces are still hugely better, leave your Firefly/Challenger behind, let it snipe, and then go hunting.

British Infantry are pretty great now though, for some reason Battlefront's giving a lot of the newer Companies Armoured Transports despite them being kinda rare.

With your criteria there is no good list outside Pattons 7th armored (it has armor, breaktrough guns). Problem is that UK armor rapes Pattons 7th armored. With smoke and Semi Indirect fire there is practically nothing standing after a few rounds except jumbos.

>>36366508

The british trained armor in overlord is very powerful. Adding in the breaching group, the Swiss army knife composition of the armored platoons, It is not as good vs infantry as american 7th armored or Soviets but it is very effective against them. The thing I think is that the british infantry is better for open tournaments. Infantry always attacking on the night can totally decide the outcome before even dice are rolled (example when they attack an tank company in counter attack).

Plus Night Attack has the possibility to be a hilarious Fuck You to the usual crowd of Auto-Attack Armoured Companies. RAW:
>A player commanding a British Infantry Company may elect to make a Night Attack in Missions that do not use the Meeting Engagement Rule, if you do so the game starts at Night and uses the Dawn rules on page 273.
>When Making a Night Attack, the Company has the always attack special rule, and all British platoons containing only infantry teams can use the spearhead special rule.

If you take Rules As Written, and especially as there's never really been any errata for this, even if you're not attacking in the mission, you can force the enemy to attack you at Night. So hey Spearheading Panzer IV/Sherman XL Turbo Supreme, Eat this sack of cocks.

>>36376529
Unless you're playing on a 40k table with a few hills on your side, Semi Indirect Bombardment is so rare to actually use, because a smart opponent simply hides his tanks away until within short range. Can't actually hit what you can't actually see.
Plus again, Guntank, 33% of the time, his return fire eliminates your tank killers, or, he drops smoke on your Shermans, and now you can't shoot at all.

A smart opponent wins with nothing but 3 kubelwagens. That argument isn't convincing.

About terrain, well I won 2 tournaments this year with my EW czech panzer list and it has 88s in it. Long range engagements do frequently happen. The trick to use is that one always gets to place some of the objectives. A good idea is to put them in places where one can build good fire lines to objectives, or to vulnerable units.

Also I think you kind of overvalue the gun tank rule. One of the best tank lists right now, Pattons 7th armored is susceptible to gun tank, but does really fine in competition. It is ok to hate british armor, but it is not a shit company to play.

For standard Shermans. The only time it's hard to get a Firefly or AC-30 into a good position with more than 16" of LoS, is when you're playing on a Stalingrad table where ever road is 12" in legnth.

Well you're on defense automatically... So it means opening volleys will be great at long range. But the thing to remember about Semi Indirect is statistically speaking it makes your long-range shots *nearly* as good as your short range shots (re-rolled 5+ comes out to a 55% chance to succeed, compared to 50% for a 4+). Except for when you need to hit Dug-In, Gone-To-Ground Veterans, but being Defender means that in most missions they won't be able to happily sit back with a 7+ to be hit.

>what about IShermans? I recall they were way undercosted
No word yet. But considering the amount of backlash on them, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a readjustment to their cost. Apparently the T-34/85 spam army of ridicilulous proportions is no longer possible with the UAR, though.

The UAR in FoaN could give you a good ass-whooping by spamming 41x T-34/85s, and still have plenty of points left over for each one to have a .50cal AA MG! The total for this comes out to mere 1010pts, In a 1500pt game, you could throw down said 41x T-34/85s, 6x SU-100s, 6 PT-76s led by a BTR-50PK, and 2 ZSU-57-2 AA Tanks. This comes out to a total of 1425. So either you can say "fuck all" to the remaining 75pts, or you can drop an SU-100 and add an infantry platoon to the PT-76s, giving you several more BTR-50PKs.

Generally, no it wasn't. Sure they die quickly, but 11 IShermas aren't going to stop 54 tanks running at them full-speed. Who cares if the UAR needs a 5s to hit them when they move right up next to the shermans... You'll still have 20 something shots, and every hit is highly likely to kill a sherman.

Efficient combinations of your forces, and an understanding that you're going to take casualties. Pick a point, focus your force. That's what Soviets do very well. Don't play like a German. Don't fiddle, smash. You're not pissing about turn to turn. You're planning over the course of a game.

You can include infantry if you want, but they're not always essentially. Infiltrate's an incredible thing to have on your side. SU-122s are great for their cost. Have some of the high AT AFVs about but don't go nuts, your mediums are great most of the time. And respect your arty.

If I'm reading wikipedia right(and wikipedia is right), only a few survived including one time commander Fenet.

"Reduced to approximately thirty able men, most members of the Sturmbataillon had been captured or escaped Berlin on their own, or in small groups. Most of those who made it to France were denounced and sent to Allied prisons and camps. For example, Fenet was sentenced to 20 years of forced labour, but was released from prison in 1959. Others were shot upon capture by the French authorities. General Philip Leclerc, the French divisional commander who had served under the Americans, was presented with a defiant group of 11-12 captured Charlemagne Division men.[11] The Free French General immediately asked them why they wore a German uniform, to which one of them replied by asking the General why he wore an American one (the Free French wore modified US army uniforms). The group of French Waffen-SS men was later executed without any form of military tribunal procedure.[12]"

I think Tank Escorts in general worked a lot better in V2, except that they shouldn't have counted as living or dead teams. But yeah, the Tank Escorts should give some sort of defense to a vehicle, especially against man-portable AT assets. 1 shitty defensive fire dice does fucking nothing. The least they could have done was count it as a full extra MG, so vehicles without MGs (i.e. Assault Guns) could get 3 defensive fire dice out of it.

Anyway, vehicles are all going to be Glider platoons so they come on from reserve and can only come on after all the Parachute platoons come on. Same with guns - they're almost all gonna be Glider platoons anyway.

In fact, I have literally no idea what his first question is about since the mission clearly states that you don't deploy any troops on the board and they walk (or, in the case of British Airlanding, crash) onto the board turn one.

British OD was different from Yankee OD. Also, the paint job on a Tank is gonna be hugely variable based off of weathering, fading, dirt, poor quality repaints in the field, etc.

You'll also get cases where eg a museum has done an inaccurate paint job years ago and not changed it yet, and then others have copied them such that you end up with multiple different shades based on the whims of people repainting museum exhibits etc. The most famous example of this being Bovington's blue caunter camo.

They did at the start of the war. 6 Fleet Carriers(Akagi, Kaga, Souryuu, Hiryuu, Shoukaku, and Zuikaku) and 4 light carriers (Houshou(though she was mainly used to train pilots), Ryuujou, Shouhou, and Zuihou) make for a powerful force. The biggest problem for the Japs was that they could not replace their loses in ships and pilots easily like the Americans could.

The Japanese had huge logistical problems. They weren’t fully industrialized; I remember reading that one of Mitsubishi’s factories producing the Zero used an ox cart to move the wings to the place where they’d be attached to the fuselage. In the Pacific, they had to build airstrips by hand whereas we had bulldozers. Their tank designs stagnated because they couldn’t build ships, planes, and tanks with the resources they had. They could move hundreds of thousands of soldiers across islands, but they couldn’t ship them the food they needed. It’s crazy just how far they got.

Apparently we’re getting a box that has three full plastic T-34 models and then three resin obr. 1940 turrets and three resin obr. 1941 turrets. You can’t switch between the two because the kits only have one large hatch, which both of those turrets used. But you can still assemble the later turrets that we’re all familiar with. It’s not much cheaper than the MW/LW kit and only has three instead of five, but it seems fair enough.

If you can keep a war short, you can win without great logistics. It worked against France. But the distances in the USSR were too great for Germany's supply train. It really killed them on that front. I don't think even had enough gasoline to make it any deeper than they got.

So played my first ever Late War game last night as we had our Thanksgiving Throwdown at the LGS. Italians v. Americans, 1900 points, some reinforcements as our Grand Commanders saw fit.

Game went pretty well and was fairly evenly balanced for a while. My mortars were killing infantry left and right(surprisingly), but one of my infantry platoons got steamrolled by tanks and assaults(seriously, how do you guys manage with platoons of only 6 stands?) and my arty did some good work. Had some PaK40's which took out a few Shermans, but they eventually got overrun. Ambushed a platoon of 3 Panthers who got two rounds of shooting before my least favorite rule in the entire game came into play: tank destroyer ambush. FUCK. THAT. RULE. Seriously, fucking AT13 guns that just get to pop out of jeeps? Shit's annoying and way too good in my opinion.

Anyway; turn five saw the turning point in favor of the allies. All three of my Panther's died(one took a shot in the side from a Wolverine, one took a front shot and I rolled a 1 for armor, the third failed the morale check), the last of PaKs got wiped off the table, my mortars got assaulted, my other Infantry platoon went down to the last two Shermans, both my 88's(who once again failed to hit ANYTHING) got dropped and at the end of turn 7 or so we called it because it literally became impossible for me to win.

Still, despite the stupid fucking Wolverines, I had fun. Having so few infantry stands seems kind of shitty. Between two rifle platoons I had a grand 12 stands, and once they got MG fire or assaulted they went down with ease. I sort of thought Veterans were supposed to be retarded hard to take down. My mortar platoon was my MVP without a doubt, and my LVP was the 88's. Yeah they were shooting Vets at long range, but over the course of 5 turns of shooting 6 shots between them they never once rolled a hit. I had three rounds of shooting them into a Sherman's side armor and they failed miserably.

Still; fun game.

Well I was working with what I had available model wise, too.

I should have started further back, but my secondary objective demanded I get up the table as quickly as possible. My primary was simple enough, but with no turn limit my opponent had the ability to pick me apart bit by bit until I just about had nothing that could hurt his tanks and he auto-won essentially. I think if there had been a "hold this until the end of turn 5" then the game would have gone better for me, but then again those 560 points worth of Panthers not dying in a single salvo would have helped too.

I don't think I'll be running Late War Italians again, though. Just weren't as fun as the crazy early and mid war shit. I'll totally be doing Hungarians and Finns, though, in late still.

You should just play around it.

Seriously, it's a powerful mechanic when you just sit there and let him do it but if you use your recce well and/or successfully engage the jeeps it's not so nasty. Plus, they are paying extra (370 for 4 M10 3" USTDs vs 290 for 4 M10 3" Royal Artillery) for the mechanic which puts a lot of points into a flimsy platoon that relies on its powerful alpha strike to do anything of note.

>taking only twelve stands of combat platoon infantry at 1900pts
Fucking hell, even a Grenadierkompanie gets fourteen. With platoons that small you should seriously be considering multiple platoons, large support platoons of infantry and/or combat attaching to bulk up numbers to reasonable sizes.

Much like aircraft, their value lies as much in how they affect your opponent's movement as in what they actually kill. Stick 'em in some concealing terrain back from the front line with a decent field of fire and they can be golden as your opponent manoeuvres to avoid them.

The list I was using has no access to recon as far as I can see.

The problem with the M10 thing is that even if you blow up the jeeps the TD's still show up. And he was able to keep the jeeps back in cover and out of LoS until he had pushed through my front line and then rolled up, popped out the M10's and wasted three Panthers in two rounds of shooting. My Panthers got one shot off at them and did nothing due to horrible rolling. It just sucks because the jeeps are small and easy to hide which makes getting to them before they get to prime placement a bitch and a half on a properly dense table. I think if my 88's had been able to take out that Sherman I could have moved my other infantry platoon over to cover the other flank and left my arty, 88's and PaKs to clean up his Shermans.

Then by choosing that list you're actively choosing to make yourself weaker to USTDs. If the counter to USTDs is recon and you pick one of the few lists with no recon you don't really have grounds to complain about USTDs beating you since you decided to let USTDs beat you when you decided to take that briefing.
>The problem with the M10 thing is that even if you blow up the jeeps the TD's still show up.
Okay, but they're reorganizing so you get a turn to shoot at them and 4/2/0 vehicles don't last long under pressure.

Hell, the gruppo esplorante's combat platoons are composed entirely of Recce teams, and have cheap and excellent AT support.

Yea, just look at that list >>36422388

4 platoons with recce teams, 8 PaK43s, 2 arty platoons, Pioneers, HMGs, 10 total platoons. Looks like the best LW Italian list possible to me.

At risk of sounding rude; i'm just going to put this out there - you didn't play LW Italians. It looks for all the world like you just took a giant expensive blob of German support with a bit of Italian infantry as backup.

You want wacky and fun like EW/MW? Run a list that isn't 90% German allies like Fanteria or Esplorante.

>They're not OP. They're expensive, fragile, and damn near useless against infantry. They're good to have, but after the nerfs, and particularly considering that they usually just turn up as a single platoon, they're fine.

With top armor they are not useless against infantry as they can take improvised armor and fight in assaults like veteran tanks. Also if you think a 0.5cal and a fp3+ gun is useless against infantry I don't know what to tell you. It is not that they break the game just like Carius costing 25 points instead of 100 would not break the game. They are way too good for what you pay for them right now and are among the key components in the massive dominance of american lists in open competitions.

You're telling me that something that is more or less immune to non-dedicated AT assets should not be more expensive than something that is in dire straights from a drive-by recce patrol?

I'm not saying T-34 doesn't work now, just that it'd be nice if they didn't penalize the 85 by removing it's Wide Tracks, and made Fast Tank worth the extra points you spend to get it.

And Matildas can't kill anything either, and despite TA2 aren't spectacular assaulters like you'd assume.

They were popular for one brief round of US tournaments, and people then immediately stopped giving a shit about them in favour of things with actual guns.

The new cheap heavy meta has been utterly punishing to the few holdouts that stuck with them, too.

Everything i've seen indicates that T-34s are more common. Everyone I saw who tried Matilda spam got rid of it in disgust after it proved a flop in practice compared to theory, whereas It's ar are day I see a Soviet player without T-34s of some kind.

I suspect we're influenced by our local metas in perception though.

Your criteria of strength against non dedicated at asset is of no use. Plenty of things that kill panthers are cheap and common in late war. And any recce that can kill m10s from the front can kill panthers from the side. M10s cannot die before they are deployed from deep strike. They are more survivable, snooty and cheap.
