I think the comet tank is due for a buff.

Comet tanks are bad, until you get 2, then when you land 3 of them in the battlefield the game its over for your enemies and anyone in the server...
It reminds me of apocalypse tank of RA2. Simple mass them and stop the crap out of them...
Thats why its awful, because it CAN be spammed. It SHOULDNT be spammed, but thats not how this works, thats not how any of this works...
with regards 1v1 everyone agrees churchill does fit the bill, so i dont see the reason of OP complaints...

A unit that has to be massed to be effective isn't good balance *cough maxim* and a unit being like that out of fear of it being massed, yet forced to be is just plain stupid

How does its vet stack against the cromwell? I wouldn't see issue with mirroring it (the t34s are the same, commit to that sort of design) but for the price difference to the cromwell the comet is acceptable. It has the most armour of any medium now does it not?

As for the p4 and panther matchup, it shouldn't be a no Brainer no matter the enemy lineup, it will Excell against some builds and be less effective against others. Against panthers you would be better off with a churchill and firefly than comets and cromwell anyways, but against p4s you can do no better than the comet. I think that's reasonable.

Comet deals less dmg against Infantry than Panther or P4 (both mg upgraded of course). And lose to Panther in tank combat.
+ Comet does not have any fire rate bonus on vet.

I really don't see why brit player must go for comet with extra 50 fuel for tech and 185 fuel for the tank that only better thing than cromwell is armor.

That isn't true, however Panther doesn't lag behind too far comet on AI performance.

that's only with 0 cover, yellow cover cuts the panther dps by half and let's not talk about green; comet has no problem with those

With its 960 hp, it can without any thread of engine damage drive up point blank to all but AT squads with AT nades. After all, it'll be engine damaged only after 3rd AT nade or 240 damage.

Yeah but that doesn't happen a lot. Too risky of a move without knowing whether there's other AT in the area except for maybe doing it defensively.

Comet just won't hit stuff at all behind cover though, it seems like. I'd only count on it killing infantry out in the open, and pretty slowly at that.

Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2019, 16:40 PMStug life

???? scatter doesn't count cover, it is as good as P4 at least, they have same scatter and comet has more AOE

Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2019, 17:26 PMLoopDloop

Yeah but it'll hit the cover instead of the squad. Same as every other tank though, that was just in response to the comment that the panther's dps is halved against inf in cover.

EDIT: Are you sure your stats are up to date? Because I'm looking at coh2db and the only thing I see in the comet's favor is that it does more far and mid AoE damage. If I'm reading it right, the comet seems to have more scatter and inferior AoE distances across the board. The comet's reload is also ~2 seconds slower and doesn't get any vet bonuses for firerate.

Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2019, 18:17 PMStug life

not all cover bounce, and i get the stats from coh2db too
it says 6.3 aoe on p4 and 6.7 on comet
