also, the allies have to use more combined arms to defeat axis units. Like a tiger, you usually have to throw 3-4 tanks at it, use stickies, zooks, rr, at guns just to kill that one tank, ditto panther, KT. Sherman? Just get urself a double schreck squad or a cloaked pak...which is also a great counter to TR, you can still take it out cuz the health is on the infantry and not the at gun.
Vet 3 Tank Reapers with AP rounds, I think it 3 shots a Tiger? I used to use that combo all the time before I deleted my account.

Also, you are making a grave error using all that to kill a tank. If so, just leave the tank alone and focus on the other units while the tank sits out of AT range and if he comes in, pop OProunds.

Thats a different matter, cause even if you lose 2-3 you could still have more to field.

sometimes you have to kill the tiger because it's impedeing ur progress, especially if   you're on offense. Say you're losing pop and you have to take territory, killing that tiger is a must if it's sitting in the terrorites u have to cap and is beign  used as a roving defense.

You don't need vet 3 to kill a tiger with 3 shots.
You don't even neccecarily need AP rounds.
And rear, you not even need 3 shots.

I disagree with all of your unit statements aside from the halftrack, but the halftrack has such limited application in EIR (vCoH as well) that it's not an issue.

In retail you can reinforce your units from halftracks, which is their PRIMARY purpose.

In EIR this primary purpose is removed, and no alternate purpose is put in its place. If the design team read this, I would suggest thinking of something to make the halftrack useful again Smiley

You can Cap Territory with them faster and transport infantry and use them as support weapons vs infantry (Riflemen only Rangers likes to one shot a half-track)

Half-Tracks lost their primary use in VCoH Long time ago...AP rounds on MG and Keep 'em coming! (Axis side that is...for Allies their Half-Track is still useful, noAP rounds on the MG!)

lol i remeber that game

but tankreapers are really strong they two shot a panzer4 and a stug frontal

tankreapers and RR blobs are the things i most fear

they negate most of axis armor

and if they spam cheap discount rifles and rangers on top of tankreapers it is almost GG for me

Stukas are made of awesome, so are nebs ^^. 2 stukas = that "oh shit button" you always wanted as blitz...

Uh when was the last time you actually played retail?

If you lose a halftrack to a 30 cal's AP rounds you really need to improve your micro.   The primary purpose of the HT is for reinforcement, early harassment of rifles, and as a suicide drop unit.

It was my PWN Flammenwerfer that got stuck in a hole in St.Hilaire few times and my PUMA that hit on a building and slowly tried to drive away under constant AP Round firing. Its simply not my micro where it lacks because last time I AP rounded M8.

Using them as a support weapon is in no way worth their cost as there is always at least light AT on the field if your opponent is smart and/or has units left, though capping territory is a valid argument I suppose.

And the halftrack's use in retail is still, and always was, primarily to reinforce. The American halftrack however lost its use due to prevalence of the tier 2 strats, and since PaKs two-shot them, there's no real way to use them without fear of losing them instantly.

I have gotten multiple TR ATGs to vet 2 and 3. And kept them there for a few games. If you use them right (not at your front line) they will kill ANY axis tank that penetrates. Its that wonderful synergy of Sticky bomb + TR that makes tanks die.
