Who Considers Tigers as a heavy tank when in reality its just a fat slow underperforming P4?

The only tank Allies can consider as a major threat is the Panther, only because it has speed and pen+dmg to deal with every vehicles. This toy has a bad habit of sniping officers too with one single shot.

Every other axis heavy tank is 2x M10s and problem solved.- well Maybe not Jagdpanther but I can't say it for sure

I agree, this totally relates to the topic at hand (AB Riflemen)

Day 1 was when it was a T3 in the old Doctrine system. No one ever picked it except I think Lai tried them out.

I used them. I loved them. I think the leaderboard had something like 3-4 vet 3 AB rifles, and they were all mine.

I still use them in my current AB company (which, admittedly, I haven't really played much in the past few months, since I hit lvl 9). Personally I don't think the AB riflemen in themselves are the problem, it's their efficiency in a blob. I still feel a blob penalty to fire up would be in order.

wat about a damage bonus multipier vs blobs? more units the higher the damage...maybe supression 2 though that doesnt really make sense kinda....

ab blob is always a problem...also strafing run doesn't friendly fire? i remeber charging some ab and sitting on top of em when they got strafed and only my guy took damage and supression? is it meant to be like that?

Panzerman the Defensive doctrine draft has a bonus accuracy multiplier for blobs.

if it goes in as drafted having an HMG42 shooting at a rifle squad would provide a 48% accuracy bonus instead of the normal 30%.

Now imagine how many squads make up an AB blob...your looking at an Incremental accuracy bonus of over 100%... easily.missing would be the exception.

It'll take a lot more than a little acc incremental increase to have missing "be the exception." It's nice and all, but there's nothing to keep the AB from just popping FU and running out of the MG's cone of fire.
And even if that was enough (it's not), there should be a lot more effective things out there than just one unlock in one doctrine. In fact, blobbing simply shouldn't be viable in the first place.
