you can do both, slowing tanks and sniping infantry, this is one of the best units PE have. What do you think about it? How do you use it?

it is a good unit, I personally only ever use it for its abilities and hide it behind my lines.  A tank comes in, it loses its engine, atht runs away.  Infantry swarm breaks through my position i move up and focus fire while they are busy trying to take out my infantry.  if it comes under fire it runs.

I was starting with 2 of them, had one at vet 3 and one at almost vet 3, then lost them both to BAD pathing.  Sigh ... treadbreak a pershing and have the AThT drive right up to it before it fires ;(..

I only run 1 in my company now though, I would look at another for late game, but ... marders are to costly for me to justify it atm.

Focused fire is insanely good, it literally will not miss from pretty much any range.  I've seen it snipe down a squad too quickly.

It's a pity though it's only good at doing that really, it can easily be Circlestrafed and doesn't really do much damage to armour apart from engine damage.

I agree, focused fire and tread breaking are about all it's good for, the vanilla unit is pretty shit if you ask me.

Salan, does treadbreaker even work vs Pershings reliably?  Doesn't it bounce frequently?

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

Treadbreaker works against Pershings. I think treadbreaker has something like 23% chance to bounce off a pershing.
