Weak point of USF was and should always be the Armor department. But if you look at the current 8 commanders 4 of them give you better tank options:
- Armor: Bulldozer, M10
- Cavalry: Pershing
- Mechanized: 76mm Sherman
- Rifle: E8
Now a lot of players want a better tank in the new USF commander, demanding an E8 or the 76mm Sherman. That would mean that you would get in over 50% of the US commanders better tanks than Wehrmacht can get with T3. This sounds bad imo, USF can not have the best light vehicles, superiour infantry, the best TD in the game and premium mediums in the most used commanders at the same time.
You forgot wermacht has nondoctrinal panther that counters every piece of armor usf can deploy, pershing included. Also its not like you can have easy8 and pershing in one game, but wermacht can have panther, tiger and rocket arty. They will be stronger than usf in armor department no matter what.
76mm sherman is so bad nobody uses it even though mechanized is meta commander, look recent tournament
Easy8 is mediocre unit in terrible commander
Pershing is below average heavy tank (800hp, so not so heavy) in off meta commander
