It takes roughly half a second more to suppress than an HMG42 - as pinning certainly takes longer to have happen than suppressing and troops can manage to crawl into some cover to further slow it down while the Vickers is otherwise totally alike to an HMG42, its ability to pin is certainly compounded to be noticeably worse than an HMG42 (and I recall pinning makes troops easier to hit, so that might also be a consideration to comparing the two's DPS [heh, remember when pinning was just something that happened to people who forgot about the retreat button?]).

Indeed, the "advantage" is not without clear risks to make it more of a distinction than a clear advantage.

At least it's got "Best range ever while in buildings", eh?

2v2 axis isn't impossible by any means, the only thing you have to do right now is counter the spam with more spam and cheese,

Ostheer - double sniper is almost a must in 2v2, this gives you firepower and works against USF and UKF extremely well (I've had games where I had around 100+ kills on double sniper against double USF)

OKW - Harder to play of course, but rushing a PzII or double obers will get you some edge, if someone thinks that you can't beat rifle blob, try 3 mg34 and double LEIG, those will stop everything that moves on two legs

But for the most part the balance right now is pretty annoying, having USF be a "little" too stronk and axis being in a disadvantage because of the exact same reason makes this game a little dull to play

Bullsheep. The differences between usf and ostheer infantry hasn't changed much (especially not in 1vs1 and 2vs2 where vet 3 units are far less common) safe for vet 3. if you where bleeding mp then you are bleeding mp now.

The real problem back then was the usf and ostheer lategame the ostheer used the callin meta and dealing with 2 tigers with pak support was nearly impossible to counter. and guess what? rifleman being shot at by tigers will indeed bleed a lot of mp . and since the pak howie was really overpriced and bad back then the ostheer player could easily turtle.

For the okw it was the obers luch combo that caused havoc on them. with the captain route being utter shit the luchs could easily push the usf back into the base.

Bars by the way where buffed midway wfa ( i believe is sept 2014) so that makes your argument that bars got only recently buffed false and furthermore rifle flame throwers and lmg's got nerfed.

it was never the rifles that where the problem.

I see the thread kinda turned to Panther's intended role in the meantime, but first we need to be clear on whether or not the cost thing was satisfactorily resolved.

Things Panther has:
- Speed,
- Accelleration
- Range
- Frontal armour higher than the Tiger.
- Fantastic veterancy bonuses, starting at level 1
- Tolerable DPS versus infantry (MGs)

Things Panther doesn't have:
- Good Rate of fire

And of course people complain about what? Its rate of fire.

My question is : what else do people want for 175 fuel, exactly?

Oh and OP, I see you are active in this thread. So, can you give me a reply to this?
