I must admit, I hate to see almost dead Panther with blitz+smoke combo. Impossible to catch and finish.
I can live with smoke - doctrinal thing which I can handle with ground attack but blitz used to reverse? That's retarded.

60 munitions to save an unflanked panther that didnt hit a mine or get AT naded? Thats unfair?

You are not entirely right.
I can agree only about crit repairs that it should be more expensive.
But the rest?
Do Wehrmacht have 6 man squads on weapon teams? no, but their team weapons are stronger and they are not exposed to powerful rifle nade.
Do they have 6 man squads on any basic infantry? no (only Opstruppen) - No, but they have better fire power than others.
Do they have Demo charges with which to 1 shot any russian squad with no warning or chance of avoiding? No (cant expect to have a mine sweeper in every part of the map, and even if you do, you dont always watch when they run onto vps). Do allies have powerful, sluggish TD or AT gun with cheat wall ability? This is pudding cause we can take all day and night talking about who has what... Tho demos are easy to avoid. 100% with sweeper but even without them you can avoid 7/10 with smart microing.
Can they hop out of any vehicle and instantly repair engine damage? no, but they have smoke/blitz which are more useful in my opinion
Do they have doctrines with self repair? no, again, do USF have heavy tank? Etc etc...
Do the Wehermacht have the magic aircraft of divine guidance making all damage done to a tank significantly increase? (Marked target) No, but OKW has, while OST has iDelete strafe for 110ammo
We can go like this all day... Why Axis' upgrade are free from unlocking? etc etc... but that's not the point.
So, markt target in unrealistic? But Panther drivindg with speed of 80-90km/h is not unrealistic? It's even more.
Don't compare Sherman's smoke because it's completly different and it won't save you when you have almost 0 HP.
What repair ability has to do with it? Nothing. It does not matter if you repair it behind the lines with ability or infantry. It does not matter.
Smoke is amazing and it's fine.
It's insanely stupid blitzkrieg which makes tanks like race cars, not to mention, it should be offensinve ability, not defensive.
Today I was able to get out with almost dead Panther 3 times becasue of blitzkrieg. Of course, I was glad with it, but was it objectively all right? Not at all. It's complelty agasint design of this ability and totally unrealistic.

Explain please.. Both conscripts and rifles beat grenadiers. It's only when they are able to get 60 muni LMG's that they can compete.

Yes. The whole approach for Blitzkrieg is bad. Blitzkrieg should be offensive, massive ability, not singule, defensive one. That's the first. Second point, reversing Panther faster than cars or light vehicles? Come on...
I would change secure mode for expensive blitz anytime. It's very forgiving ability. You made one step too far, just blitz away. You made one step too far with Sherman or T34 - you gonna lose them.

Shermans and T34's don't cost 175 fuel now do they. Unbelievable.

Your comparing apples to oranges if your talking about the panthers cost. A tank that can do anything for 175 fuel vs a t-34 that is pretty much worthless right now and a panther can easily beat two shermans which would cost 220 fuel but can't even pen the front of a panther.
And oh yeah with out blitzkreig panther goes faster in reverse than sherman going forwards makes sense.

Yes its built to pursue tanks but not going backwards faster than mediums and jackson going forwards with out blitzkrieg.I think those are restrictions in Coh2. There are no "forward" or "reverse" speeds, just the units speed.
No, it has only decent HP. Right now it can easily get swarmed by the double T-34/85 call in. The only saving grace is to run backwards. Because of it having the same HP as a T-34/85, a slower ROF and no rear armor, it will not even cause the slightest competition to the tanks it´s meant to counter if the speed was decreased.
So no I disagree it already basicly has 0 drawbacks other than it is not good at killing infantry so why could you not nerf its backward speed or at least take blitzkeig away from any tank reversing.
