You are the only person in this thread to use the word overperforming so far, nobody said what you describe

Mark target is a bizarre example to use because you usually only use that on heavier tanks to begin with

I also made the case for Mark Target being another overly cost efficient ability that should be subject to scaling so I like them apples I guess.

If it's not for the perceived overperformance of medium/heavy tanks using smoke, why even bother scaling its cost to begin with?
and in order to tone it down you decide to selectively and arrogantly increase its muni tax "just bcz omg its so op".
And I usually only "use" panzer tactician on lighter tanks in order to avoid a confrontation since with panther and up i win every engagement.

There's an inherent risk in making tanks in general in terms of COH2 gameplay, so maximizing the risk by making an ability more expensive for the tank existing alone is not fair even by your antiaxis larp standards.

Panzer tactician is an instant sight blocker thats given to tanks who already have blitzkrieg to run away even EASIER. you dont risk ANYTHING, wdym?

Please stay on topic and don't derail by overly exaggerating.
This is not an Axis vs Allies thread, nor is it a Panzer Tactician balance thread or focusing on any other commander in CoH2.
The point is: Should abilities be scaled to offer a more consistent cost for benefit whenever possible?

The answer is: clearly not.
Why is this the answer? Because you (nor me nor anybody else) can define what these terms means for COH2 Balance:
- Consistent (across what and when and where?)
- Cost for benefit (decided by whom????).

Before a certain person show up and make thing worse by picking this line out of your post, i will say that Panzer tactican do have a delay on activation.
Still, imagine saying something like panzer tactican require "skill" to use.

Panzer tactician is quite a special ability.

I feel like abilities like this should be built into the faction in some way.
Like imagine if Whermacht had something similar to Hammer/Anvil in which you can choose between Spotting Scopes, Panzer Tactician or Hull Down.
Pretty much every commander I use has one of these abilities and I pick them specifically for one of these abilities only.

CoH3 seems to try something like this with the Wehrmacht, which will be interesting to see if it works out.
I disagree though that CoH2's Wehrmacht would need a general tank upgrade, since the tanks are already very strong. There's no problem with having a faction with generally stronger tanks by design, but then all factions need to have their specialty. CoH2 is currently not balanced for this, and one faction working differently surely will cause issues.
