Comet tank has been too nerfed.

I already posted my opinion above, it’s just false saying the Cromwell or the comet are bad in ai, again it’s just a scaled down tiger

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.

No, as the Comet is supposed to be the opposite of the Churchill and act as a mobile tank versus the slow meatshield.

Things to address:

Veterancy: The unit needs some form of offensive veterancy to help it engage targets later on. Few, if any other vehicles have 0 bonuses to either reload, or penetration. While the Comet does get accuracy, its firepower for the most part is the same from stock to veterancy 3.

One might count on the auto-grenades as a substitute, but then you're getting in close and it doesn't help vs most vehicles that the Comet will engage.

Moving Accuracy: With the current state, I don't think returning its 0.75 moving accuracy would be terrible to emphasize its status as a mobile tank as that's its whole point.

I don't mean to alarm you but the panther is supposed to beat the comet. Just so you know when you are making your comparison. Actually the comet was nerfed SPECIFICALLY because it was beating the panther (which it's not supposed to do)
Also your hammer teching also provides buffs to other units it's not a straight single purpose teching choice like conscript upgrades or brit nades/bofors/AEC that only unlock a single thing. Hammer also grants tracking that makes all your armour better, blitz which makes all your armour better and gammons which are in dire need of a buff (into multipurpose satchels would be ideal I think) or possibly even changed outright into smoke grenades or something.
All that comes with hammer needs to be accounted for in the tech.

You didn't get my point. It has worse AT than a Panther, but no AI to make up for it. I clearly requested buffing it's AI instead of AT in both my posts (read Comet/Firefly bit in my last alinea).

If OP's video is to be believed, even a pintled Panther outperforms it in AI, altough I know Pintle vs cannon comparisons are pretty RNG based.

Hammer providing other bonusses: fair enough, but without it I can't get to my overpriced Comet.

If memory serves, on stats alone, it's got the anti-infantry performance of a Cromwell. Same MGs, same AoE profile on the main gun.

Better AOE and some sort of reload bonus at vet 2. Call it a day. Brits don't need more AT, I'm sure most would rather have AI right now.

A bit too much than it was irl.

I think it's been said many times but irl hardly matters at all for balance. If we went by IRL Axis would give up at the start of the game.

Maybe Armour needs some nerfing. A bit too much than it was irl.

...If we were going with IRL stats, Comet would have BETTER penetration then Panther.
