Increased requirements for Brit tank vet look good, as does the Wehr sniper build time reduction

Interesting, the tread breaker ability is nearly back to it's original range.
Uff, with all those quick changes, a compiled list of what and how everything has changed to the current retail version would be great (but a lot of work, hahah). Because I read "tread breaker range increased" and think WTF but it seems to be still nerfed from retail, which is good, imho.
Looking forward to doing combined arms of schrecks + AT HT. ( Non moving more accuracy and can get close away from the long range crazy scatter). Rather than relying on just a pair or 3 of marders doing it all.
Interesting stuff for sure. Nothing drastically in the first view but small changes are usually better than sledgehammer patches
Default Tank range is 40 right? So 42 for the AT HT is nice. Threadbreaker was a really great gimmick back in the "old" days but slightly OP. Now your enemy has the chance to fire back but you can avoid it with micro. Nice change on the table.
The decrease of the Officers buildtime is a very welcomed change same for the sniper. Both units are very usefull but you block the building so damn long that I usually build my Officer very late in the game - If I build him at all. Now we just need the Sniper bug fixed and I´m happy with the Sniper.
The Calliope change hum, well I dont know. Its not bad but maybe the scatter was to much in the FoW but I rather would have seen another buff to it because reduces Scatter for Arty firing in the FoW is a big red NONO for me. Bad feelings of Base Barrages come up again. Reduce scatter in the LoS sounds better to me than in the FoW - I know it was reduced in beta allready but why buff the FoW barrage? 5more secs cooldown is another thing I dont really get. Its 130 now right? why 130secs for the damn Calliope its not that powerfull I think. 90 maybe 100 secs would be ok for me but 130secs is hefty! Correct me if I´m completely wrong with the cooldown but if it´s really 130secs I would expect a very powerfull barrage.
The range increase for the Vickers nest is nice but the sight increase is a nobrainer to me. I mean, I´m as a Werhmacht player need a bike or forward Inf to get the full range out of my HMG where the Brits can put down a nest and forget about it. That´s nitpicking for sure but I claim that unfair!
The Command Tank stuff, well I dont have an unbiased opionion about that to be honest but I like that.

The cooldown for the Calliope is 80 now I believe. Including the five seconds in this patch. Still to short imo, but whatever.

wanna trade? you get my vickers with range and sight buff and i get your fully movable and cheaper mg.
Hey Mukkel, any chance of slight upping the AT-HT Line of Sight or its range so it can battle tanks better? Its damage is fine but its fiddly to get it to fire on a tank with it being shot pieces. I have no problem getting close for the tread breaker but being able to use its extra ranger a bit better would be great.
So, you nerf the Firefly reload time claiming the command tank offset the difference then you turn around and nearly double the command tank vet requirements?
Not cool.
More <3 for the Vickers is good, though. Will give you that.
