I often wonder why more OKW players don't use the medium tank commander? Does not seem like a terrible one. If they gave you a medium tank Alex it would just be more burning panzers and food for my shermans kappa.
Elite Armored is garbage for a bunch of reasons;
-Emergency repair is bugged and can cause your tank to get decrewed every time it takes damage
-HEAT shells are the wrong type of shell and are easy to avoid
-PIV Ausf J's are just worse PIV's for almost the cost of a KT anyway. (At 210 for two they are 105 each but with the fuel penalty cost as much as an Ost PIV anyway). Also nobody wants 2 PIV's at 9 CP
-Panzer Commander is expensive and doesn't really do much other than look cool and call in extremely slow artillery barrages.
