your argument was based off a poor comparison, ignoring the difference in economic involved in between the comet vs panther and t-70 vs puma.

it was a comparison between a more expensive unit against its intended cheaper prey. The comet is not a cheaper unit to the panther currently and thus a 1 to 1 comparison is not valid.

and "squad wiping" is not the only metric of how good a unit is against infantry. There are still level of effectiveness between "squad wiping" and "trickle them with rubber bullet".


Is the panther's mg effective against infantry, yes or no? effectiveness is not 1 or 0.

and anecdotal evidence with the panther is not really helpful. Maybe I've wiped a few squad with panther while base raping.

Well, being devils advocate for a moment here, you did paid for pintle on stug for years and it did literally nothing more then nice sound.

it is appropriate that you used the example of t-70 vs puma, because it highlight one of the fundamental flaw of your argument: cost. (the US stuart is also cheaper than both. AEC is cheaper than the okw for sure.)

the t-70 is cheaper than both the wehr puma and the okw puma, unlike the Comet which is more expensive than either the wehr panther or the OKW panther.

if you are sincere with your comparison of t-70 vs puma, then perhaps the comet should be cheaper than the panther?

a label is useless without a definition behind it.

the jp4, su85, jackson, and Firefly are all useless against infantry. They lack the maneuverability to crush infantry (there's a reason why the m10's rotation rate got nerfed), their gun lack AOE, and lack mg ( firefly have one weak coaxial).

The old wehr panther would have been a tank hunter/destroyer as its mg before their mg was buffed.

And the mgs are important. Both the panzer 4 and t34 have mgs to supplement their main gun.

The comet (and cromwell)'s main gun had probably the best scatter in the game, but no longer. It makes a big difference in how well they kill infantry.
