Personally it's stupid because *IT* has a gun.. where the WM schwimm is totally worthless. same lame detect.. tbh I think it actually only has 35 sight radius and has no gun. And costs more than a bike.

No no the schwimms were switched. The PE got the wehr one with the gun and the wehr got the PE one with the detection.

Better yet, switch the Ketten for the Jeep, and give Infantry Company cloaked kettens.

That way, the PE gets a reliable anti-sniper weapon, while Infantry Company gets the cloaked 1-popcap minesweeper that happens to spot for 105mm offmaps/enemy positions. It's the perfect solution!

PE already have the schwimm with a gun its pretty much the same as a Jeep for killing snipers.

The Jeep is evidently the best spotting unit in the game. Do you want to deny the PE a weapon of that magnitude?

...Ok, I'm done with the sarcasm. But seriously, how much does the Cloaked Ketten cost?

Ok, I'll trade cloak Ketten for a Jeep/Schiwm with Scouting.

But I don't want the cloaked ketten... I want a super detection unit.

No you're trading the cloaking ketten AND the armed shrimpwagon for the jeep with scouting.

I know which I'll take.

Wait, so I get the MG armed jeep that costs less than the Schwimm and I get scouting? Why would I want the Schwimm?

GIMME SCOUT JEEPS!! 70+ LoS = win.

Why do you need to sneak up on something to spot it, when you can use 2 jeeps and reveal half the map.

The Jeep with scouting still has less detection than the vanilla ketten (And is slower. And has half the acceleration). Last time I checked, Scouting Jeeps couldn't detect mines. The Jeep would have 15% more sight range, and would be relatively tougher, for 2 more popcap, 5 fuel, and 40 more manpower.

It isn't invisible, and can't outrun infantry squads while cloaked (well, it can't even cloak in the first place). Ketten allows pinpoint arty placement with zero warning, on any place on the map. Good luck running a Jeep to the enemy's rear lines without having it noticed.

Done deal, right there.

Gimme the Jeep, my men detect mines, and who cares about stealth detect, thats what the Vamp is for.

PE want jeep with scouting!

And sorry, 63.25 LoS according to the doctrine.

Same could be said for cloaked Kettens tbqh. Unlike mines they can move and spot for arty.

Come on, cloaked ketten when has been implemented? Of course I was expecting one allie will be angry "omg army of ninja killed my howitzer", but I didn't expecting it after how much hotfix?

Jeeps,. british clown car aka bren carrier, recon squad, recon run can detect them
