Are you saying Panther anti infantry is like t34-76?
You must be playing another game, not coh2 for sure
T34 AI comes from roadkilling and RNGesus hits. I won't say PV AI is good, but at least does something when upgraded with the MG.
I would love that when you set it up at vehicle prioritization the gunner/MG would still shoot at infantry.
On the matter, SU mortar is fine, 120mm isn't useful at all, OH mortar would after patch be fine.
PV is ok, both in OKW and OH.
I can't escape from grens with my m3 backspeed - it's too slow. Maybe it's my bad luck again and I'm wrong, ok. What about acceleration time? Is it takes longer to reach maximum speed when you're moving backwards?
Game doesn't distinguish between forward or backwards. What you have is acceleration and desacceleration, so if you overcommit with a vehicle, you have certain momentum till you stop and you can move backwards again.
If he has a Pz4 before your T34-76, its your own fault bro, i assure you
OH:
-20+10+40+20+45+75 > 170 f
+125f for PIV
295f
SU:
-50+40/50+80+90 > 170f
+25/25 Optional Molo/AT nade
+80f T34
Even if you have a fuel edge to pull out a T34 faster (if you don't tech molo/AT nades nor vehicles, which will discard T1 scoutcars or T3 lights) you won't see a T34 sooner than a PIV due to mp restrains. An early T34 gives absolutely no return on it's investment while a T70 or M5 Quad will do for it's timing.
