1 pop for an amazing spotter that is the fastest moving cloaked unit in the game?
please increase price, pop or halve the speed of the ketten (Luftwaffe only)

Oh yes they are a headache to deal with if the PE player isn't a novice.

Speed is already halved.

then consider increasing the pop for them or something? being able to have 2 or 3 kettens out for a very minimal cost and 2 or 3 pop scouting the whole map is just extremely powerful.
since some wehr players already have LOS bonus's on infantry from doctrine unlocks and kettens are the god of spotters, any competent axis will see any attack coming lol
@ scyn
it's already halved? lol

It's halved while under cloak, that's what I mean. Just thought I'd say that much.

It's the most cost effective scout in the game  |

It needs to cost more pop, at least 2, maybe even 3.

Even if it doesn't get to move, the only way to find one is to run into it with a rifleman by chance or something.

I think make it a Munitions upgrade, about 20 or 25 or so. That will stop people from spamming them (like 3 or 4 a game).
their LOS is decreased which is fine, they do really have to get close to spot anything which makes them far less deadly at least.

Well that's because the only thing that has a good detection radius is a jeep. But in all seriousness we could make it cloak while in cover only.

The best way I have of countering kettens is to make a new account so you get free scouting runs to find the ketten with.
You know allies do lack detection units.
Allies would benefit so much more from a vampire halftrack than PE would. Since most cloaked units are axis units anyways.

won't happen, probably could be a upgrade though as we have made other things upgrades... |

Well.. if we make it cloak in cover only, that would definitely prevent speedy cloaked scouts running around behind enemy lines finding the offmap targets. Which doesn't really have a tactical-skill value to it.. it's just quite imbalanced.

its really not an issue though, we could look at the availability and upgrade purchase. I believe the scorch one is a purchasable upgrade.. should be similar for falls.
the speed of the ketten isn't the issue. Any stealther can do exactly what you just said. sniper or storm or whatever.
an upgrade that made it popcap 2 would probably make it more balanced for its speed though.

50 munitions and 1 pop for cloak. If you are careful its totally worth it, but you cant spam it.
