It appears the weapon stats for this were returned to vanilla? There is no modded weapon entry in the .sga, so I can only assume so.

Why was this done? I never see them anymore anyway...

We are serious about enforcing this, and I am sure you all want to be able to have your balance thought considered by the development team with some biased, sensationalist coming into your thread and ruining it.

Well they cost 350MP 150Mun (6pdr: 380Mp 120Mun + Cloak) and the only difference on their stats is the better frontal penetration and 5 more range.

And theres actually nothing in the Engineers Doctrine that has anything to do with the emplacements(bofors/17pder)

Bit more durable, but a lot more setup time, too.

I dunno if this thing is worth buying right now, another 5 or 10 range would give it the edge it needs.

lol, remember when 17pdr came in, and our devs gave it a crazy range.. u saw 17pdrs all over.. axis tanks couldnt even venture in that area of map.. it was so, awesome.

That was because there was no such thing as a 6 pounder, or the 17 pounder being limited to only the Royal Engineers doctrine.

Better penetration, otherwise nothing.

They're heavy in that they can actually face down something like a Tiger and not just get shot in the face, and indeed actually penetrate it.

But it's still a bit expensive for what it does, I think. Another 5-10 range (no more than that, it would be ridiculous) would work out I think.

Maybe making them more durable would help, like axis bunkers. Because those don't go down to 2 salvos of double schrecks.

Nah, they're about as tough.

I'd prefer the range to any extra toughness, really.

The 17 pdr needs more range to be more useful, I agree.

Im not exactly sure about the 17 pounders range.  It shouldnt be more than a Mortar HT, maybe equal with one?Huh

A mortar HT should never be in direct line of sight as it's target anyway, so not like it should ever be a threat.

What the range of the 17 pdr anyhow? I know it is only slightly more then a regular AT-gun, but that only because to compensate for the size of the emplacement.
