640MP/130F/Doctrine slot

and it can barely win a trade with a Pz4 or Stug

As a side note I would be perfectly fine with a skin that replaced the .50cal gunner with a guy wielding an STG44.

Yes, this is very bad, yesterday I destroyed Brummbar for a few minutes by shooting his engine. This is ridiculous. Another aspect that I don't like about E8 is the additional infantry unit that comes with it. I don't need him, like the captain and other unnecessary units.

E8 feels like discounted Panther.

pretty much, the riflemen squad makes this call in completely overpriced. And it doesnt help that the combat stats of the E8 suck as well. It has same weapon range and damage like a normal sherman, and only 60 more HP
(860 vs 800)

It may lack in some areas and not be as efficient overal as other units, and the commander as a whole isn't as competitive, but this is just bullshit. It totally dominates medium armor like the P4 or a StuG because of its high armor, high pen and higher health pool.

It kills a StuG in about 20s from the first shot at max range.
A StuG needs about 28s from the first shot at max range. Nevermind a P4, which needs about 45s. Even the P4J loses decidedly to an E8.

Are you talking about CoH3 here or CoH2? I know it is very easy to miss (happened to me as well) but this is the CoH3 forum
