I built exactly one Panther the last weeks and that was as OKW (which reached vet 5 btw). That one was actually diving into enemy lines... because that´s what the Panther is supposed to do. You have to use its speed to hunt tanks. I guess not everyone grasps that concept. And it surfived the game.
I think when you send panther like YOLO without support what you whant from unit ?
Secondly you still didn´t give any single argument why you think Panthers are fine or why Ostheer doesn´t have to rely on StuGs to be viable.
