^G-wagen(which was also considered broken OP), jagdpanther, firefly.
So its not like coh1 haven't had super long range units, coh2 simply took it on a whole new level.
Ahh, the g-wagen, pre nerf that unit was soo fun to play with, even after the nerf it was kinda cool to play with it. High stopping power and low penetration with high range and very low armor, with good micro it could be a good killer (after it was nerfed)...
firefly was a beast, jagdpanther was kinda meh.
Damn, if they fix the coh1 like it was under THQ i would left this game any day.
