Personally I think the Pershing is fine in all aspects apart from HP and cost (for it's HP)
Good gun, good mobility (suiting USF play style)
My complaint is the HP that being the same as a panther/Easy 8, but when a panther reaches vet 2 it has a higher amount of HP
I have three options for the Pershing
First option: I think the pershing just be reduced by a CP not the best option but still is an option
Second option: price decrease from 230 fuel down to 200-215 fuel, maybe a slight manpower increase but that's all
Third option: increase HP to 960 being the same as a vet 2 panther, more health then the Easy 8, taking that extra shot can be really nice.
On a side note I feel that the Pershing vets really fast, and with the mobility buffs to it I feel it is the best heavy tank in game (being able to get out of dodge)
Just going against vetted panthers can be an issue due to their pen, amour and higher HP.
Plus the ability to shot every 4 seconds at vet 3 is just
But performance wise, Pershing isn't under performing massive, isn't over performing massive, I feel like it needs a feel twerks when you consider some of the things it goes against.
