Here, I took the liberty of recording a video for you of what actually happens in the game. People dont just stand around in open ground, they will be in cover or moving around bunched up where the Comet will be much more effective. Oh, look, the Comet kills all the squads twice as fast.
The video also shows off the fantastically low scatter of the gun.
That's a good point, however your video is just as realistic and biased as mine. Who would stay around in yellow cover while being attacked by a gun with AoE? Claiming that the Panther has better AI was mistake/bold exaggereation of mine, yet it's not bad or even useless. My problem is the current overall performance of the Comet compared to the Panther when considering the factions strengths and weaknesses. It's more expensive to rush while maintaining an adequate power and it excels neither in AI nor AT. This becomes very bad when there´s no combined arms play possible (thanks to the british design). The vital elements of an army in the lategame are: tanks, infantry, artillery - whereas the british can rely on tanks and infantry only.
