There is a reason we all see a Command Panther in 12 out of 10 OKW games,
similar to when Centuar or Croc were OP when we used to see them in every single game of brits.
As a matter of fact, when a Unit is OP or extremely strong, you see that unit more often in the game (like the T34/76 at its current state! Kappa )
If the Command Panther wasn't OP (with all its aura and vet bonuses) you wouldn't see that in all OKW games
Orrrrrrr that commander is used in most games for its infiltration nades... you know to flush out maximum spam. Or its IR STG44 to keep up with allied LMG blobbing, flares are easily one of the most usefull abilities. and for people like me who simply doesn't go tier 4 early or mid game, it's nice to have some sort of armour before then. Try harder next time. The command panther is yes "A" reason why people go that commander, but not THE reason, other abilities are just as potent and needed. "Goes back to sleep"
