Leman Russ Punisher

Would be nice to see the Punisher canon upgrade for Leman Russ. It could use the same autocanon as Land Raider use but maybe a little bit reworked (visually). It will have longer range then Executioner but shorter then Vanquisher, will provide a lot of firepower against light infantry and decent damage against heavy, also will have nice suppression possibility, but wont have the AV capabilities. It could be something like EM suppression upgrade for Carnifex

Maybe a bit challenge for designers but would give IG tool to fight also SHI in T3

Executioner cannon is pretty great against SHI...

This topic is to find another LR variant to deal with foot soldiers, right? As Punisher cannon is sth like assault cannon which is not so good vs SHI I came up with idea of different variant.

The goal is to make the another LR type - the one who suppress. Like Carnifex got suppression, melee and AV upgrades, make something pretty same for LR for more strategic scale. About capabilities to fight against SHI - i think Executioner gun buff against that type of units will be enough, but there is already such a topic.

Would it be a cool addition? Yes
But I can't think of a reason why IG would need this. IG is already has some pretty good ways of dealing with blobs of massed light infantry.

SOrry, but I think the Executioner does the job better. Be nice to see some suppression but rememebr the Baneblade Heavy bolters suppress.

The Berger Tiger from CoH 1 is hilarious, it costs so little for what is almost a heavy tank but with a crane arm. I don't think recoveries would be a good idea in DoW II.

Just for lulz. Imagine 2 Baneblades from 1 player on the BF

Berger Baneblades, recovering your Sentinels since tier 1.

Since vanquisher and executioner already cover Anti-vehicle and anti-infantry respectively, how about some utility. Flame sponson upgrade.
