Right now tank hunters has nothing to fight mortar smoke covered infantry. This is a huge defiency that should not exist in any doctrine. It's really easy to abuse this vs tank hunters to the point that tank hunters just have to fall back and have no response.

The mortar ht and the stuka hotchkiss do not suffice. The incendary grenade is not good enough. This is a hole in the doctrine that needs to be fixed.

I would suggest removing the pak36 and replacing it with a upgrade for the scout car or the armor car "infrarot" that allows them to target stuff in smoke with reduced penalty.

why dont incendiary nades and mortar hts work? I'm confused.  Seems to me that killing the mortar is a simple enough procedure.

what when they produce their own smoke (grenades) or offmaps ?

smoke effects are usually large and used to force back your vehicles, so  being able to pummel 1 position with a mortar ht is not helpful. you need to actually kill them!

Smokaz has a point and I am quite sure I discussed this issue a long time ago.

Tank hunters cant do shit against smoke. Incid nades and mortar are softcounters against smoke. The only hardcounter that exist is the goliath.

There are plenty of discussions on this. But nothing has been done. I hope we can think up something that they can do to improve the situation for next patch.

Mortar smoke conceals the IQ of tym! Can't see it!

Well, I guess TH is barred from games with mortar smoke then unless their teammates are overcompensating.

no 1 doctrine is UP in one certain way that the other doctrines arent

smoke is generally balanced but tank hunters have too much trouble vs it because they dont have doctrinal stuff to help them vs smoke

When there is smoke, there'll be airborne. Do send a tank to meet the wall of RRs.

TH is strongest when it is versus armor, it is weakest when it is facing infantry.

Alright.

I choose a faction only to lose to infantry because I have nothing to fight versus them. Insta loss imminent.

By what logic did you think this one up?

Most doctrines do not have an inherent weakness to anything, the last round of doctrine changes made sure of that.

well, i agree with smokaz,

TH's face a very interesting situation if they are confronted with smoke.

suggestions to solve that:

t3 "infrafot scheinwerfer"
- add that certain vehicles can mark targets. so that they are even hit through the smoke

new tank equitment "shrapnell granates"
- the tanks gain the ability to shoot in 120° angle granates (1use)

new t1 unlock (additional to anti tank mines)
- S mines mines with a higher AoE but lower damage

- add flame tanks


 BUT in general why not lowering the sight of units in smoke? that would be quite fair. they could advanced but not see where the enemy is moving
