Going T1 won't solve 222 problem. You'll need access to at least PTRS (Guards or Tank Hunter Tactics) to keep 222 at bay. In case of Tank Hunter you will have access to those fancy 5 muni mines which are great way to give you opportunity to get in range of AT nade.

Maxims are in the same tier as AT gun. 444 is a good reason to get AT gun immediately.

Maybe you have replay of that such game?

Devs didn't exactly supported it. They only said that in RTS in general blobbing will always be a viable tactic to some degree.

Think about it - it is obviously better to concentrate you DPS in one place and try to fight enemy squads one by one with full force.

For me it is easier to fight blobbers than opponents who don't blob.

About "game is boring" - IMO it is much more interesting now in comparison to no tech stalling into T-34-85/Tiger call-ins or obers/scherk spam into KT.

No. If you look at what I had said before, I would like the cost to be in line with performance. A T34/85 will consistently beat a Vet 2 P4 1v1 and only cost 20 more mp and 5 more fuel. If that's the case shouldn't a panther perform that much greater than a T34/85 since it costs 110 more mp and 45 more fuel?

It is in line with its performance IMO.

Continuing with previous post - T-34-85 needs to flank Panther in order to consistently penetrate it's armor. Otherwise Panther will win.
To prevent flanking you need to make only one shot at T-34-85 and then have grens arount to faust it.
There you go - now you can just take it down from long range.
Even if you don't faust it you force T-34-85 to disengage.

Asking for Panther buff while providing example where Panther got Buttoned by Guards and flanked by T-34-85 is just pathetic. No offence.

What people around here need to stop doing is taking units out of factions' context and comparing with each other, especially units with different roles.

There are two downsides I see in Panther:
- Its AI isn't bursty enough to wipe infantry (but still quite good).
- High opportunity costs (T4 is still quite expensive, but that is a bonus tier for Wehrmacht).

I play mostly 4v4 matches where Panther do damn fine and is easily accesible due to sheer amount of resources , so maybe my perception is flawed with game mode preference. But I should say that I rarely go Panther if I need AT and I never build more than one. I prefer StuG for that role. I feel that StuG is more effective almost in all situations.

But then I should point out that you, probably, have your share of bias too.
You just like German combat vehicles, which, as my observation tell me, is not uncommon for Canadinas.
You have that Panther avatar, your youtube account have Hetzer avatar and german nickname.
Let's be honest - you want Panther buffed also because it is one of your favourite WWII tanks, not purely because you think that it would be better for the Game and for everyone.

Damn. I wanted to write two sentences, but you've triggered me.

Soviet Defensive Tactics

Best AI mines (now that generalist mine can kill 2 models max) which doesn't suppress enemy squad allowing it to proceed through minefield until it wiped out.

Access to MG and Mortar if you go T1, so best variety of units to overcome any situation in early-to-mid game.

Which leaves the Panther exactly one unit to counter: The IS-2.

KV-1, KV-2, KV-8, ISU-152, Churchill, Croc, AVRE, Pershing can all be penetrated easily by StuGs and still somewhat by Panzer IVs. Take into account that there are usually more Panzer IVs and/ or StuGs available and the Panther serves no purpose.

So, basically, we need to buff armor of these tanks to make everybody happy.
