Didn´t safe the replay. I tried using the Panther at max range though and moved it backwards. Thus it missed 2 shots. Also two generalist tanks shouldn´t really beat a specialist anti tank vehicle from the front - at least not at that cost for the Panther.

Exactly what happens to me..kiting is very difficult with its shitty accuracy and speed of allied tanks.I can do it in maybe a few lucky occasions..never ever consistently.Its DPS and dmg is poor..175 fuel unit and 490 mp.Compare with at-34/85 at 360 mp and 130 fuel with same HP and far better AI...don't know how this works as balance.Range is meaningless..they should just give it same range as other medium tanks as its just an excuse to keep this unit utterly overpriced.


Only thing it has going for it is with good micro and some luck u might be able to flee alive from a battle with its speed,something tiger can't do.With ISU meta at an end..there is no need for it as a flanker either.1 AT gun and its flank is imperilled.Engine dmg..goodbye.

They keep saying wow armor 290..but its effect is not really visible ingame...very few times i see shots bouncing off panther.Tiger on the other hand reliably bounces shots..much better health and survivability and shreds infantry..has good DPS.Calling the panther a dedicated tank hunter is ridiculous joke.I tried for quite a long time in various ways to somehow make this unit work..but 3 out of 4 times it makes me fail..i lose the game and wonder why i was stupid and didn't get the tiger instead.Eventually the frustration gets to u and well u got to accept a unit is finished and dump it.

Maxim spam was never much of an issue in 1 vs1,mostly in teamgames.Haven't played enough to say if the new maxim is less spam-effective.But if 1 mg is covering another thats standrad tactics,any machine gun can do it..not unit issue.Problem arose when flanked first mg turned so quickly that all could cover all and there would be no flanks once he had 3.

I've abandoned the Panther in Favor of the OKW 2xP4 aus J. call in. Which is 2 tanks for 210 fuel.

Same.It gives OKW a solid medium tank..back it up with raketenwerfers and hold out for a KT or a jag 4 for long kiting to complement it and it does a good job.The AI of the pz 4 s is far more useful than shitty panther ..also puma and jagd have same no AI.This gives u a versatile and mobile weapon..without forcing u into a particular truck(read no healing truck early on)

MG42s are extremely effective at what they do.

And yet all we see are grenadier spam for ostheer.Maybe one odd mg 42 or sniper vs usa and mortar in urban map.Contradiction?
So much for being extremely effective.

From the poll results it seems ostheer is overall weakest faction,being the least voted in strongest faction category of both modes as well as in top 2 of weakest faction in both.
Strongest overall seems soviets,not in the top 2 of the weakest in any game modes,and in top 2 of strongest in both game modes.

USF and OKW seem lopsided,very good in one particular game mode.
