I dont get people who still insist on pershing. Time and again people told them it would be a bad idea but noooooooooo, since soviets have the is-2, germans have the tiger and okw has the king tiger, us "should" get a pershing. Problem with that is, lack of a heavy tank is the only handicap us have.
OKW and USF are designed differently than other factions as in they are very strong in some aspects, terrible at others. US have very strong early game with their riflemans, aaht's and whatnot. OKW has very strong late game with all their heavy armor and veterancy. But usf doesnt have any heavy units or elite infantry while okw gets less fuel on top of their enemies strong early game, so they're usually on the back foot early game hence most of the time you see okw playing defensively. By giving americans pershing, you are fixing their only weakness while keeping their early game advantages. Surely you can see the problem with that.
And you are still insisting on a pershing for nostalgia purposes or you just really like the damn thing, it has to be designed that no one will actually gets them in competetive games. Like making it roughly equal to panther but putting it at 12 cp and 800mp 300 fuel. Or lets say you get the pershing you want at the price you want. Fine, if usf gets armor doctrine, okw should get a doctrine which gets %100 fuel income at 0-1 cp. There you go, you just created two generals who will make all others obsolete. |
