And there is nothing wrong with it, given its gun is inferior only to that of KT.
TDs however were not. They were too unreliable out of the gate and too good when vetted.
Now they'll be more reliable out of the gate and more balance once vetted.
Yes, tiger and panther will feel that, because these are primary targets that benefited from lack of reliability of allied TDs before. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that.
Tank destroyers counter tanks. Panther and Tiger are tanks, if you can't get in range to shoot back at them, you're SUPPOSED to be punished by TDs.
Purely situational and dependent on opponent army comp.
Vs armor heavy builds, panther was superior, vs inf heavy builds, tiger was and is superior.
Tiger is not meant to be superior choice no matter what.
That goes for any other heavy as well.
Its not DoW2 super unit you'd always want to have, but another specific unit for specific scenario.
You should take off these krupp steel eye patch armor plates and take your own advise.
Well, if something was barely used over Panther, yet still on its sweet spot, THEN receives an indirect nerf, and you cant see why it is a problem... i dont think im the one with an eye-patch here...
Sadly i cannot further simplify it. Some people thinks everything is fine, then relic comes along, make a couple of balance changes and they think its fine aswell..
