The Best All Around Tank in COH2

Honesty? It's just matter of opinion, true that the only real Anti infantry weapon is the MG upgrade which equates to the killing power of a grendier mg upgrade, but it's Anti tank ability is just superb.

For me at least, when I pick the faction I also assumed the strategy and attitude of that army's use of weapons, for example as Germans every rifle squad (when possible) should have mg support. Thus particular case the Germans emphasis the use of tanks for the role of killing other tanks.

Where's the Americans used their tanks as support for infantry and leave the killing power to TDs or infantry.

Reason why I choose the Panter, against tanks it excels to even heavies like IS2s and Churchills with a better penetrating gun then the tiger.

So it's medicore AI and superb AT which means it's not generalist, you just like it and it's not even close to all around becasue it cant deal with infantry on its own

Imo Tiger gun is superior to that of the Panther...
It can reliably penetrate most Allied armor, so the penetration difference is no that important.
The range difference is not to big, is beyond normal sight of the unit and the have same range at vet 2 (not that it is easy to get to vet 2).
But is is superior in R.O.F., AOE damage, scatter and has even a chance to stun on deflection...
Further more imo if Panther had the tiger's gun it would simply be O.P.
