Re: DDay
I cant say I have ever bothered with the AVRE (unless given to me in a scenario) as it has such limited range. A 75mm gun equippped crocodile has a flame thrower which deals with bunkers at similar short range, and a 75mm which can plink most of them further away and deal with tanks reasonably well.
Not all AVRE are engineer tanks either now - the only one I would bother with as the obstacle mine clearance is useful, not having to crawl up to 2 hexes to deal with any bunker. A 75mm gun tank has a few smoke shells and can smoke off a pesky bunker from miles away as it approaches.
It is a fringe thing amongst other fringe things, and the stats have remained the same for a decade or more without any player reaction, till this post?.
The HE pen value is because its a HESH round, obviously. Which MBT has, but not WW2 so has to use HE pen instead. Not a lot of use as an AT weapon, unless the enemy lets you trundle your very slow churchill up to 2 hexes.. its a drawback of bunkers that they do!.
Lets see if any others have an opinion on the thing.
