So Perhsing is potentially the most expensive tank to get while also being the weakest at of all: You have to add at last an ambulance and Rack before getting it in real games.
USF and Soviet mid game momentum are also completely dependent on their light vehicle which is not true for other factions that can go without them. that 50 fuel for USF and 70 for Soviet if they want to get the upper hand for some time before their windows close up.
No wonder you barely seen Pershing in 2vs2 while Tigers are there every single game.
ppl wer going for tigers shows you how reliant axis are on the tiger to provide crucial AI and AT support. When playing USF, its not a important whether u get a Pershing out, since USF have strong AI in inf and strong AT in the jackson. If that wasn't the case you would be seeing more pershinsg being used. Even when the tiger was being picked almost every game, how was the axis win rates to USF/allied win rates in the tournament?, pls remind me. now imagine how bad its going to be without the tiger.
