Except the Ostwind (Duh) and the Tiger which is already good at AI. Hotchkiss doesn't get it I guess b/c it already has Walking Stuka and is suppose to be a (sorta) shitty jack of all trades :P. Hetzer has a MG. And Jagdpanther is not supose to be good at AI, hence no MG. And obviously not the Bergretiger XD

And don't be sorry :D. It's good to learn new things everyday ^-^

Infantry
Support
Vehicle
Tank

Post by: Pac-Fish on October 27, 2011, 01:38:31 AM: Keep in mind bangalor that each lvl of Wher vet does something weird and unique. Its not like Ami vet which basically helps you kill things faster due to higher dmg :P

For example Vet 1 tanks give it 10% - 20% less recieved dmg. Not sure what exact number is. Its an overall great upgrade. But lvl 2 tanks give it an mg. So buying lvl 2 does not help against tank vs tank fights. However lvl 3 gives tanks more penetration resistence except Ostwind. So if you want your Ostwind to stay alive longer only lvl 1 helps. However the Ostwind is more accurate. So vet 3 helps Ostwinds offensively

You don't need to remember the exact numbers but just try to remember the basic things that Wher vet do and your golden 8) ;D

P.S. - I kept switching the words lvl and vet. I meant the same thing XD

Post by: Pac-Fish on October 27, 2011, 02:44:20 AM: Yeah SU and Wher are similar in that they have a seperate building to get upgrades which help in the long run. They may seem expensive but they are pretty good. Always try to spring for Vet 1 for both types of infantry b/c they grant health regeneration. But they don't help in combat. Just remember that. vet 2 helps keeps troops alive longer.

Post by: GodlikeDennis on October 27, 2011, 05:21:59 AM: Vet 1 gives -15% received damage. Vet2 for many tanks actually gives 15% more health again for many of the vehicles/tanks as well as the MG.

Post by: Pac-Fish on October 27, 2011, 12:13:41 PM: I checked and GLD is correct. Whoopsie :-[. But vet 2 apprently does diff things for diff tanks. It gives penetration resistence to StuH for example, but damage resistence to StuG :P. And for Panther only an added MG
Title: Re: MG problem
Post by: Pac-Fish on October 27, 2011, 12:32:34 PM: On GR its says StuG gets more health (i checked again) and StuH gets less penetration. Maybe they're wrong ???
