Flamer molo stuff is unimportant detail.
Key feature is having strong AT in T1 that can deal with lights and (in a different way) mediums.
If new penals AT is weaker than guards AT. Then patch would likely be a failure.
Look at jove hans game - t70 vs panther for long time. Thats a standart scenario. So strong AT in T1 is absolutely neccessary in every game. It should give chance to use docs with late game units sich as industry and is2 docs.
PS.As jove said he lost only because of his bad mistakes. I think he needed not panter-kt as in game, but panther-jp4-kt. Very likely there is no counter to this mix doesnt matter how well you micro.
