Sure keep it at optimal range, the blitzing tiger reverses quicker than SU-85 moves forward. GOOD LUCK finishing off a Tiger unless you crit it when your opponent fucks up.

See this is what it seems you are missing. Blitz is not fair because there is no way of stopping it. Your opponent gets outta jail for just about free while you are stuck trying to pry your way through the enemy lines just to finish off the tank. I can link you to my official forum post and Relic's response as to why they changed it in the first place.

Now why do you think its fair blitz is so great when Soviet tanks have useless vet ability? SU-85's sight increase is good in all but when the tank blitz away all your extra sight is for naught. It needs to go back to being an acceleration buff to be fair.

I like this idea.

Or give them low penetration so you can kill them with light vehicles (kubel, 221/222, halftrack ost and okw flak). I think they kill these light vehicles almost as fast a Zis).

Panther has pintle upgrade which is cheap and effective AI. All pintle gunners are a no-brainer upgrade in the game and the panthers is no exception. With this upgrade it is impossible for a single at gun to beat a managed panther. The pintle gunner alone would defeat the at gun. You could have a damaged main gun panther with an active pintle gunner and you will win vs a single at gun. As you know my playercard is visible and you can see that I meet your 12 match experience requirement. My experience with panthers has been much more fruitful than yours seem to be, so I think your doing something wrong. It's not even Rngesus. With blitzkreig you can beat the single at gun possibly without even taking damage. I consider it to be about the best tank in CoH2, just as I found it to be the best tank in CoH1 for the 6-7 years I played that.





Tiger also has more HP than IS2 last I checked (even after the WFA hp reduction). I think it's cheaper too, but I would need to check that. 2 t34/76 cost more than panther (disregarding tech costs), so seeing them beat a panther is not a problem.





Panther does a pretty good job against IS2, it might need a little extra help, but considering the cost difference, it's understandable. That's my experience at least, I haven't found panther to be "extinct" to me. Pak43 is a deterent to anyone with a functional brain that knows it's there. I'm not going to see an IS2 and immediately think, I need a pak43. I don't know about elefant, I haven't used it since the range decrease. I did fight one that was surrounded by a pack of other tanks and I couldn't get to it. I will say I don't share your gloomy position on axis armor. I think if there is anything this community can agree on, axis has the best armor statistically. I may not have as many axis games as others, but those I have played have never resulted in me feeling I can't deal with ANY allied armored vehicles.
