Because it costs 15 fuel more yet hardly does better than a Sherman. Yet for 15 fuel more than the Panzer IV you get the Easy Eight which utterly dominates it. The Panzer IV is either overpriced or under-performing in relation to these units.


Comparing units cross faction is pretty dumb, yo.

They're in different armies and function very differently within them. Next you're going to tell me that the Jackson is either overpriced or under-performing in relation to the Stug or Firefly and the Luchs is way too cost effective compared to the T70 or Stuart.

Similar role doesn't mean you should make 1:1 comparisons. Does a Sherman have Pak40's to support it? Does a Sherman have Stugs to support it? Does a Sherman have teller mines to screen for it?


Cost is about controlling the time a unit appears and how frequently it can appear. It is not a measure of unit performance, although there is often a correlation between the two for balance reasons.

IMO pennetration values need to be overhauled completely. While Front armour is working as intended for meds vs heavies, rear armour certainly isn't especially when it comes to flanking.

Its frustrating to see when you successfully pull off a flank in your meds only to find that your shot just bounces off because lel rear armour values.

Maybe all meds need a penn buff - to compensate, heavy frontal armour needs a armour buff but rear armour needs a relative nerf as well.

Certainly by 1944, just about all mediums had the pennetration to deal with each other should they score a hit, yet this is not reflected in the game, a lot of shells in med vs med bounce off.

The Sherman is for anti-infantry. Its anti-tank roll is supposed to be very limited.

Not really.... Even the Sherman could deal with the Pz 4 reasonably effectively, as they found in North Africa, so they didn't really change their tanks much because it was fine against the backbone German Tank.

Of course, it suffered in Normandy against Panthers and Tigers in direct engagements - they couldn't effectively deal with Panther/Tiger frontal armour.

There's a little thing called a StuG III if you want more penetration. The P4 trades off AT power for more AI power. It's fine.

No-one is asking for Pz 4s to penn HTs frontally.

They just want enough penn to penn main mediums frontally and rear of heavy tanks, which I'm perfectly fine with.

FTR, I believe all med tanks should reliably penn each other - they certainly did by 1944, no-one had a real advantage when it came to armour vs guns.

Penetration from 110 to 140 would do wonders in my opinion. Or at least on par with shermans.

Penetration less than sherman is a disgrace.Or reduce cost to 115 fuel.

Armor higher than sherman

Why do people think that because a tank is German and if it doesn't roflstop everything in the game then it needs a buff


Exactly.
Moderate tanks are considered bad tanks here.

There is nothing wrong with this tank. It doesn't rek everything in its way but it is an excellent tank that scales extremely well in the later game.
Penetration is ok.

I'd agree with you except for med vs med performance and med vs heavy rear armour performance. There should be a buff so that all meds can reliably penn each other and they can reliably penn heavies.

That was what it was like in 1944 WW2, I don't see why this can't happen in CoH2.

After PanzerIV buff, what will happen to T34 and Sherman? Evolving from useless to garbage?

This game is not Axis vs British game, please consider those situation unless you are a fanboy.


+1!!!
Aixe allwase cry for more if panzer get a buff t34 and sherman get them too !!!!

Do riflemen have satchel charges, come from the same building as a clown car and get Oorah at vet 2?

It's a fucking comparison, they are very similar (Good damage, not squishy) units with flamers.

Being bad at the game isn't something balance patches can fix.

Sums up the thread. P4 is fine for its cost and timing. You can use P4 for both infantry engagements and tanks. I use Sherman exclusively for anti infantry and use AT guns for anti tank.

A very different sort of comparison. I was refuting the idea that main line battle infantry with flamers is inherently imbalanced. Penal batts are certainly balance in their role, I don't think anyone would argue that.

Newsflash:

T34s and shermans are also highly ineffective vs axis heavy armor.

You don't use medium tanks vs heavy tanks, you use TDs and ATGs with medium tanks protecting them from inf mainly.

I am inclined to agree. INCLINED, but not completely agreed.


Mostly because I would've wanted to say it first.

I think that all tanks should have rear armor that is weak enough for any other tank to penetrate it. I don't care how strong Tiger or Churchill rear armor was in real life, Shermans on AP or a P4 should be able to penetrate the rear of any tank.

penals can't get BAR's in addition to the flamethrowers, don't have snares, grenades & smoke and they don'T enter the matrix on vet 3 and start dodging bullets.
