Have you noticed how always behind that shermans or T34s are guards, conscripts,AT guns and sometimes mortars/snipers or maxims?
Thats called combined arms.
High time to learn it or you'll quit the game crying after WFA hits.
Right now m3 spam followed by medium call ins are enough to beat germans,the follow up is just that- follow up.
Also for combined arms for german side-paks maybe used very effectively defensively,but are nowhere near effective as armour in offense.U can't push and take territory with paks and pz 4s lategame.
Also u didn't answer how we are to 'use' panther when its so prohibitively costly u can't even get it in the first place?
And no i'm not quitting the game,just ostheer if it remains as shitty lategame.
