Why does everyone say Ost T4 is bad? The Pwerfer was awesome these last few patches. Maybe if all the embittered diehard ost fans had pulled heir collective heads out of the sand and realized it had the same damage profile as the 'mad OP' katty with a much tighter, faster barrage, they could have had the fun I was having with that little beauty.
Especially hidden in a forwards spot to counter-battaery kattys and watch them get gibbed by my now shiny vet 2/3 werfer.
Panther still needs to be the same as the Ost one, but meh. Werfer was- and maybe still is- worth T4 in long 2v2 games.
Tiger >>>>> Panther, especially at 230 FU vs 175 FU + tech costs. 175 FU + tech is a lot to pay for a specialist, which is pretty mediocre at what it does.
Things that Panther does better: range, speed, turret rotation
Things that Tiger does better: RoF, HP, armor, anti infantry
I believe that they have the same accuracy (0.025 far, 0.05 near), but the Tiger also has the advantage in DPS because of its superior RoF.
Also remember that the advantages the Panther has over the Tiger can be made up with vet (range at vet 2, speed and turret rotation at vet 3). The Tiger is simply superior.
