Is there any way to make this poor unit at least semi-useful?
I mean, in the current meta-game it is completely outgunned, outflanked, outrun and raped all the time in every possible way. Sure its armor is bouncy, but even a non-pen atg hit will reduce its health by a considerable amount...
In all honesty, I can't think of a role which STuG could currently play in a company and it makes me sad.
Any thoughts?
its a cheap mid tier unit.
its got the best axis MG.
It has silly modifiers vs sherman.
87 damage for the base gun with no doctrine buffs. with a 1.5 damage mod towards shermans/fireflies (not sure if it works for jumbo should).
So your 87 damage goes( i think) 130.5 damage a shot. now with the vet 3 i think its around 150 damage.
if we wanted to go farther and add heat i think it should be around 180 damage a shot(probably wrong seems freakishly high)
It has 1.25 damage mod towards m10s, and greyhounds(wtf).
Don't forgot the stug cost 8 pop with is pretty amazing on a tank that will hit infantry well enough and has a sweet MG. and cost less than a ostwind(MP wise).
your biggest problem right now is probably the current Meta.
the stug does have low health (400 i think). you could raise the health to 500( m10) and raise the price to around 175 and w skirts make them cost 200 fuel.
