The Pershing is anti everything. The Panther is anti tank.

Because you also can get unlimited Comets, T-34/85s and E8s, which share similar health with the Panther. I´d consider them an own class. Improved mediums. The Panther however costs way more while offering less utility. The Comet is in the same cost bracket, yet kills infantry easily and only loses by a small margin versus the Panther. The sheer dps of all "improved mediums" is lowest on the Panther due to the rate of fire.

Always. Not "sometimes".

I still don't understand why Schrecks on volks aren't ok but usf still gets to keep their bazooka spam. Usf can easily field twice as much handheld at.

Where do you see this unit being post-patch? They're expensive as shit and when you get them into close-range they aren't great against infantry anyway because yes they can dish out damage but they can't take it at all. This unit is for harassment/field defenses in my opinion unless you go Feuersturm. Raketens, mines, panzerfausts, sturms - it's all just such soft as fuck AT until you can make the heavy fuel transition into T4. You're just playing with rng if you don't get a puma and I think it's bad design to be forced to tech that way. Sturms are also you're only form of detecting mines, you're only ability to heal without T2, and you're only ability to repair without going T3. It has too many different roles for being so expensive and fragile to be given the role of your AT now.

I realize I'm speculating the meta and I could be wrong too. If it were up to me, there would be an infantry unit in OKW's T2 so it's not volks/sturm spam, but since that would be a drastic game redesign, I'm hoping that Relic creates an OKW commander that has alternative AT options post-patch.

Because:

1. Diversity and assymetry purpouses. I don't think, that it is interesting to just copy Ost/OKW bunkers for USSR. Such way will be more reasonable.

2. That's how USF HMG positions in CoH 1 worked - 200 MP and 15 fuel. And USSR in CoH 2 has a lot of common with USF in CoH 1, so - it would work well here too. And I guess, that fuel bunkers in CoH 1 was made for same assymetry and diversity purpouses.

3. Fuel price instead of ammo can prevent "early bunkerspam", because each bunker will slightly slow your tiering up. And getting to T3 for USSR is pretty important.

Wrong on the point of troops being stronger at long range. Rifle squads will take more damage from grens at long range, but grens will still lose regardless of range to riflemen.
