For clarification, PAKs are only German, AT gun is the correct term, just so you don't confuse people.

Also don't do this whole "OKW fuel" thing, it still costs less fuel than the UKF Comet, it doesn't matter that there is a fuel penalty because with proper map control you'll always get the Panther out before the Comet because the Comet costs more.

>paks

ah yes, forgot that

>proper map control, panther coming out first

how does it matter, which unit comes out first, since both are late game units? im not saying that comets are a major balance upset in the OKW - UKF matchup, nor that there is no other counter, but that the panther is WAY underperforming when compared to that unit.
also i strongly disagree with your assertion of balancing units/factions according to "map control".
following that same logic, the king tiger should cost 175 since okw, from early to mid game, usually controls less or at max equal territory than ally factions, due to poor AI performance of Volks when compared to ally infantry, resulting in less overall fuel income on top of not being able to build fuel caches.

Terry Pratchet comes to mind while reading the OP

Hello there,

For the record, i have been playing coh 1 since 2008 being constant top 100 2on2 and have 1 month in coh2 so far with a positive winrate.

In one of my first coh2 games, my freshly built panther lost to a full-hp comet in a 1on1 without any inteference from other units, all shots against each tanks front. fair and square. was quite shocked. recently i remembered that particular fight and found a website which contains the stats for the british units:

OKW Panther (dedicated AT-Tank):
Cost(effectively) 490/232
HP 800
Armor 320
Penetration 260/240/220
Damage 160
Cooldown-Average 7.38 sec
Range 50

UKF Comet (AI as well as AT capabilities):
Cost(effectively 500/185
HP 800
Armor 290
Penetration 240/220/200
Damage 160
Cooldown-Average 6.32 sec <====
Range 50

Can anybody explain to me in non-"lelic" terms how the panther, a dedicated AT tank without any AI capabilites except for crushing, can perfectly well loose to an non-AT unit that deals good damage to infantry and is even almost 50 fuel cheaper? they have the same range as well, so you can't even kite the comet. how are people complaining about vet 3 rifle blobs (granted, they are slightly OP) but not lamenting this fact? Unit A, supposed to counter Units like B, has a more than moderate chance of losing to B, which is supposed to be only decent against units like A and B while being far cheaper. what the hell
the same problem also exists between the OST panther and the comet, but with the cost difference being sliiiiightly in the panthers favor at 10/10. the fundamental problem persits even in that case though.
its like a sherman or cromwell winning against a jagdpanzer 4 at long range
