Comet tank has been too nerfed.

Static gameplay almost always beat mobile gameplay. A weaker comet would end up being ignored. Maybe the only ¨good¨ solution is to make comet a panther clone. They were comparable in performance at least.

Could expewith something like 100%moving accuracy but tune down the price a bit and it's durability. Make it the absolute opposite of the Churchill. Incredible at taking the fight to the enemy but not taking a beating. Idk

Do you remember vCoH panzer elite Pz4 (the one with the stubby cannon) that could get into stationary fire mode and receive extra firing rate. Would that mechanic a good way to buff comets?

Hammer is supposed to be about taking the fight to the enemy. Hulling down to increase output is very much the opposite of that. Good idea but not thematic. It needs to be able to make use of mobility to contrast the Churchill.

Can't we give the Comet some more splash damage? Besides the Croc and Centaur, UKF tanks aren't that good vs infantry.

??? Centuar is still the best ai tank and churchill and Cromwell are perfectly fine with infantry (crush nades etc too)

Yeah, but British generalist tanks suck vs infantry.

The Cromwell and Comet have similar AoE and scatter to the Ost P4, but their AI is comparatively worse because of no pintle upgrade and slower reload. The OKW P4 is even better against infantry because of the lower scatter. The hull/coaxial mg's are about the same for all tanks.

Cromwell has its low cost and fast speed going for it. The Comet only has the WP shell and the nade. It's not a bad idea to bump up the AoE of the Comet from 2,5 to 3, so its stock AI performance becomes similar to the much cheaper generalist P4 with pintle.

I would not give Comet moving accuracy as the tank is very mobile.

Add some reload vet so its vet 3 doesnt feel so lackluster. Also another thing that could be done is have a smaller reload vet bonus and add a .75 moving accuracy bonus as a vet 3 attribute or something if people want the .75 moving accuracy. Not sure if this is a great idea or balanced but I think it would be pretty thematic since the comet is suppose to be aggressive.

pintle mg cost munitions, it’s like saying mg 42 green beat rifle with zook
Comet is still faster than p4 and both crush much better

Yes, thank you, it can crush infantry better, incredibly useful.

I've paid 200 manpower + 50 fuel to unlock Hammer, then 500 manpower + 185 fuel for a tank that has less AI than a P4 (same aoe/scatter, similar hull mg's, but no pintle mg and +0,7s rof) that still gets clubbered by a Panther (-160 HP, -50 pen, +0,8s rof, -5 range, for slightly more armor and speed).

Now we can either buff the AT of the Comet and create unstoppable Comet/Firefly combo's or we can buff it's AI as befits an expensive general purpose tank with worse AT than a Panther. Most would agree something has to be done.
