Besides the usual forum war, i'm delight by the amount of post on so little time this thread got.
PD: we have a new/old troll now here?
The first OKW Panther costs 255 fuel (80+175), the first Sherman costs 190 (110+80) fuel. So that's a 65 fuel difference, so of course there is going to be a gap in preformance.
I don't usually play as USF but those numbers looks like crap. USF start with 10 fuel (?), LT cost 50, cpt cost 80, Major is 90 (?) and finally yes the Sherman is 110. I'll add 10 (ambulance) and even 25+ for nades/bars.
-10 + 50/80 + 90 + 110 + (10/25/35) + (20 if M20) =
>Fastest rush LT no ambulance, no upgrades: 50+90+110-10 = 240f
>>>Fast rush LT ambulance+nades/bar, LT: 50+35+90+110-10 = 275f
>>>>>M20 LT, ambulance, nade/bar: 50+20+35+90+110-10 = 295f
>Fastest rush Cpt, no ambulance, no upgrades: 80+90+110-10 = 270f
>>>Cpt and ambulance + nade/bar: 80+90+110+35-10 = 305f
