What exactly makes you think that the firefly will beat a panther in the first place? The firefly had 12 second reload in the alpha, with 240 damage. It has lower penetration than the jackson, despite the much, much longer reload. It's turret rotation was ridiciluosly slow, about as fast as the KTs. Unless it uses it's 150 muni rocket strike, a panther easily beats a firefly. I'm sure the firefly will be buffed though, at those stats it was completely useless.


Now the comet. 185 fuel, lower armor and penetration than the panther, albeit only slightly, good againts infantry, 50 range (same as panther), faster rate of fire.



Anyways, in the alpha, brits were at a significant disadvantage againts ostheer in a 1v1 scenario. Brad developed 1 effective strategy that worked, however it was due to a unit that was heavily overperforming.


In teamgames brits will be a fun faction to play, and balance there doesn't matter because any kind of balance is not possible to achieve there.

In 2v2 brits will be fine.

what makes you think 3vs3 and 4vs4 cant be balanced?

Gameplay-wise you are wrong. Panther is a tank hunter that also has attributes of a heavy tank: armour, higher health, heavy crush, cost and cannot be compared to medium tank in-game. It is primarily meant to close in and kill all vehicles with minor AI capabilities for support and brute force from its heavy tank-like stats. It also has speed to chase vehicles.

PIV is also much much better vs infantry than the Panther, furthering the Panthers role as a mainly dedicated anti-armour vehicle.

then i should call the easy eight sherman a tank hunter then?

what you just described is how op a panther is,why does it even damage infantry??,why does it even have such speed??,why does it have such a gun with such speed and armor??

the panther is just a medium tank it was called one in WW2 and its called a medium tank in the game,if it can kill infantry then that proves it isnt a tank destroyer or tank hunter as you call it,tank hunters are meant to destroy tanks,the panther does that and more.....

It's a Tank Hunter, it counters Tank Destroyers as much as Tank Destroyers count it.

sorry its a medium tank,tank hunters are also known by the name of "TANK DESTROYERS".

the panther is not a tank hunter but a medium tank so please stop calling it "tank hunter"

to help you understand

Tank Destroyers
"A tank destroyer or tank hunter is a type of armoured fighting vehicle, armed with a direct-fire artillery gun or missile launcher, with limited operational capacities and designed specifically to efficiently engage enemy armoured vehicles in a cost-effective manner"

the su-85 and the jackson are tank destroyers,they fight only tanks nothing more,against infantry they are useless units,the panther on the other hand can fight infantry and fight tanks cause its a tank.

read below why those 2 things are not the same
"Tanks are generally armoured fighting vehicles designed for front-line combat which combine operational mobility and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities and perform all primary tasks of the armoured troops on the battlefield,the tank destroyer on the other hand is specifically designed mainly for taking on enemy armour"

the panther is a better medium tank then the panzer 4 in the game just like it was in real life

"The Panther was a German medium tank deployed during World War II from mid-1943 to the end of the European war in 1945. It was intended as a counter to the Soviet T-34, and as a replacement for the Panzer III and Panzer IV"

in short the panther is an endgame medium tank that can fight very well the enemy medium tanks and can also fight infantry,it is not a tank destroyer or tank hunter.

Ostheer T4 =/= Soviet T4

Ostheer T3 =/= Soviet T3

Ostheer T3 = Soviet T4

Only OKW can rush out Panthers in the smaller game mode and they were doing that awhile ago because they're special.

Also I hope the Panther can fight T-34s as it's an expensive anti-armour tank with only mediocre AI.

its a medium tank that can also fight its counters (medium tank destroyers)

its also the most OP unit in the game,if t34-76 arrives at the same as the panther you know something is wrong.

You can go as far down the rabbit hole with hypotheticals as you want, but the discussion was about making an active choice to rush a medium vehicle.

you skipped alot of tech options soviets need to survive just so you can tell me a rushed t34-76 comes "quicker" then a panzer 4,i pointed what you missed.

anyways the t-34 will be a trash unit when panthers arrive so good luck fighting panthers with t34-76,since the new tech system made it possible for those 2 units to arrive at the same time.

(the t34-76 is a very cheap tank that comes too late to make any meaningful impact on the game)
