In this reason why OKW, dont have medium tanks. Ou
This is the reason why USF only starting option is spamming riflemen and lack a mortar....

Certainly more PzIVs than Sturmtigers though. The change was definitely a step in the right direction on that front.
Pls add side armor in the next game relic.

I completely agree that the USF should be the faction with a commander called "Close Air Support". They had way more support late war than the Germans for sure. I also agree that the USF should have better indirect fire options. I would be happy with just a mortar team to dislodge MG spam in buildings and bunker spam.
STOP WITH THE PERSHING. Give us Sherman Jumbo's which were used much more than the Pershing and would fit into the Faction much more seamlessly. Sherman Jumbo would be able to absorb damage and deal it almost as effectively as a heavy tank.

I'd honestly think adding side armor the way everyone thinks it should be added is actually a bad idea. It would be unfair to add side armor if historic tank ranges and armor angling weren't added as well. Being realistic I can understand how those 2 wouldn't make much sense either. So even though I realize the front half and back half system is also bad my suggestion would be to make the tank armor hybrids of both ideas.
Reasoning for this is so tanks shooting at the front corner of a tank don't penetrate when hitting the side of the tank at such an extreme angle from the front that it would be silly for them to pen. Also considering how much simpler it is to close the distance to tanks in this game and the fact that front armor can still be penetrated by any gun. Even in situations that they shouldn't. (Ex. T34/76 shooting at King tiger frontal armor).

HOLY CRAP THE IGNORANCE OF GERMAN FANBOIS
There were ONLY 44 OSTWINDS ever built.
ONLY 91 ELEPHANTs ever built
ONLY 88 JAGDTIGERs ever built.
ONLY 19 STURMTIGERs ever built.
STG44 infarred scopes were extremely rare.
ALL OF THESE AFVs/TECHNOLOGY mentioned had generally horrible service records. Elepehant and Jagd broke down all the time and were usually abandoned without ever even fighting. A handful of those TDs knocked out a few tanks and that was it.
German airpower on the western front was NON existant yet "Whermacht" has the most airpower in the game.
Sherman Jumbo saw QUITE BIT of service and had rather heavy armor capable of bouncing 75mm and even the occasional 88 (as reported).
IT DOES NOT MATTER. AT ALL. WHAT HAPPENED IN 1944-45. RELIC CHOSE TO DESIGN THIS GAME REGARDLESS OF THOSE UNIT PERFORMANCE/QUANTITY.
IF STURMTIGER/ELEPHANT/OSTWIND/JAGDTIGER CAN MAKE IT. SHERMAN JUMBO CAN DEFINATLEY MAKE IT and SO CAN PERSHING.

Less than 5 Pershings saw any use during WW2 and they weren't successful. We don't need this Korean War tank in every COH match.
+1. Also LeiG needs the same help.

I have the feeling (have not checked the stats) that Leig is performing better than pack howie when I use it, maybe RNG.

2,212 M26 Pershing tanks were built in 1944 and 1945. By the end of the European War, 310 M26 Pershing tanks operated in Europe. Pershing please.

'operated'. Only 20 took part in any combat in ww2. Rather have the Sherman Jumbo with the longer 76 mm barrel. Would work like the t34-85 now works with a doctrine.

Not sure whey it has to be an either/or type situation. Both tanks should be in the game.
