Well, laters Migi, it always a joy playing with ya.

The problem is, people exploit things which eventually causes them to get nerfed. Imagine if some Armor Company player started off with 3 Shermans with Crab Frails. Those Crab Frails will rape infantry in a very gory and entertaining way. However, there are very few people who uses Crab Frails so it doesn't get its price skyrocketed. Basically, any popular strategy that is simple, effective, and difficult to beat gets labeled as overpowered by the opposing team. Repair bunkers wouldn't be so bad if we all limit ourselves to building like 1-2. But by building 6-9 bunkers, you effectively make that aspect of the game overpowered.

actually i would say about 50-70% of shermans i see lately have crabflails on them..  these are GREAT anti infantry, but they are also essential anti mine items.  I dunno how much they could truly 'nerf' the flail due to the amount of mines around the map these days... but its anti infantry ability is insane to say the least.

Infantry moves faster than the M4 with the Flail down.

Thats why you use it in conjunction with Supressing Bar squads and MG nests. once suppressed they cant avoid the flail. Its a very effective strat, it pretty much makes you auto retreat every time.

The dev team has decided that we don't like the axis players.  As such we play to continue to nerf them until they all stop playing.  This way the allies will win the war.  It's historically accurate anyway. Wink

I agree, you rarely get in the middle of a huge infantry horde...

I've always wondered what the purpose of the crab mine flail really was. Secretly it was designed to defuse mines, but you know those allied commanders wanted to see some Germans get gibbed just for shits and giggles. Well that was all well and good, until they panzerschrek it or a tiger says hello and you lose your resources.
