For a tank which is as expensive as an SU85, the Panzer 4 has been nerfed so heavily a few patches back that it is as ineffective against infantry as the panther.

From the perspective of the German player it makes no sense to go for a Pz 4 when you can call in a panther or StuG for far better AT and for anti infantry an ostwind is miles better.

The Panzer 4 feels like the abandoned child and the proof is in the meta game where I hardly see it built either when i play Germans or as Soviets.

Right now a Pz4 needs to get at least some of its anti inf accuracy for its main gun back. Its ridiculous to watch it fire 10 shots on a conscript squad and miss each one. Contrast this to the 85 fuel t34 which now is only slightly on par AT wise and can sometimes 1 shot an entire German squad.

Having a hard time countering Soviet go to ground. They usually just spam at an mg, go to ground within molotov range and throw them. When they get the PPSH upgrade it just gets worse. Rifle grenades seems to be the only thing that can clear them out but they're pretty expensive when you only kill maybe 2-3 of them, with rapid deployment they're back before you can recoup your muni losses. Tips, tricks?
