Nope.

Gamesguy says its balanced, so it must be 

No offence intended, but gameguy's said that demo charges that don't cloak are useful. On a more serious note, this nebel, I'm afraid, do need a change. The easiest way to fix it would seem to make it as the heavies, which means no more than 2 (or more?) per bataillon.

[Demon767]

Then you haven't had a real match with nebel spam.

anyone stupid enough to spam nebels will lose

[smurfORnot]

they are only effective if spammed,if u have 2-3,ab will eat throught them in no time....

replay or it's not valid. Watching a nebl battery fire, you notice that some of nebls miss the intended target but instead hit close by. With ~5 nebls they basically blanket an area, meaning that even fired-up troops will still get hit. 1 nebl hit on an AB squad can cripple it completely.

[smurfORnot]

I just played a game,after initial 4,when ab went against 1-2 of them,they killed them,went back to heal...

[EliteGren]

Why dont you post the replay?

[Jazzhead]

Yes please post it. Besides, facing 1-2 nebls with AB isn't that big of a challenge. The strength of the nebls is in numbers (which is easy to do since they cost low pop)

[COHCommando]

the 2 little         fraggerz and little kelly spam those like heck so until you play them i dont wanna hear crap those just are impossible to do anything

[LeoPhone]

seems we cant use those new models unless they were already made global somewhere else

[Tymathee]

They're best when blobbed. Their price can stay the same but the pop and pool MUST go up in order for this unit to be balanced correctly.

If you have 1-2 they're easily countered because of their accuracy but once u reach 4 of them, there's just no chance to avoid. accuracy for long, med, short range is .25, .50, 100, so if you have for of them, at long range, at least one will hit at medium, at least 2 will hit and short, will ur fukked.

[MittinsKittens]

Kinda lucky I am, I've got a level 4 Defensive kickabout so I'm going to dig it back out and level it up some more for the nebels since I want to use them (before or after the potentional nerf hammer).
Quick question though, if I get these weapons, what else should I get at the bottom to "synergy" them? (My selections so far are ONLY the Defensive Officer)

[salan]

the 88 without shields is released, the 75mm halftrack is released, not sure on that stubbie at gun ...

[Mister Schmidt]

Medic Bunker is a must, as it also heals the actual nebel as well as the crew, and then either For the Fatherland to help counter rushes, or if you've gone bottom route on specialization then take the 88, otherwise go for equipment surplus to help counter vehicle rushes.

[MittinsKittens]

Both of them means I got to give up my officer though, and the officer is one of the more fun things about my company, so I will be disappointed to see that go, so I'm sticking with my officer, and since I will need the medic bunker, looks like I'm getting MI. Can't get the 88 though, which feels...wrong? Specially since I'm defensive. God why did they make the defensive company so good for what to go with for choice

[AmPM]

Salan, its a Light Infantry Gun, not an AT gun =p

Think of it more like a light howitzer, used for bombarding dug in positions, bunker busting, and secondary AT duty if needed.

[Tymathee]

It's crap like this i'm talking about. Now littleKelly is doin this bull. He started out with 3, i took out 2, he brought out 2 more, killed 3, then he pulls out 5 and puts them in a battery, 3 shermans all die within 10 seconds not one takes a hit from the panther.

I was demoralized from the start cuz i knew where this crap was going and i was right, i should've just quit stupid freakin azzhat spammers. take something that's imba and clearly op, spam it and chuckle away at others folly as you rack up easy wins with no skill whatsoever.

[metristanharris]

Tymathees gotta a point i waz playing as axis in that game and she had about 10 of those things with 5 on at a time there unbeatable if spamed there should be a limit at least

[brn4meplz]

As part of a pool value change I'm currently working on people should find it harder to support that many in a company without paying gross amounts of PP

and pop should go up as well, to at least 6 and the 36 should go down to 4, because although its not an at gun pre say it's still an atgun, it's slow and can be easily decrewed.

btw and lower the speed...why is it so fast?
