Easy8 is not a counter to p4 just like p4 is not a counter to 75mm sherman. Read more carefuly.
If it has a better chance to beat than by definition it is a counter. It not a "hard" counter thou.
Easy8 will make great addition to this commander since it doesnt fit urban assault theme anyway with its current abilities. At this point its about making this commander viable.
Now you are simply trolling. The commander has a theme and Easy8 is simply not part of it.
Easy8 is not premium medium tank (that would be panther and comet), its just a standard medium. And its only your imagination that calliope and easy8 cant be put in the same commander, unless you show us someone from relic claiming that.
Easy8 is superior to stock Sherman 75mm so by definition it is "premium medium tank".
Panther roles is to counter "Heavy" and "Super heavy" tank, so by definition it is not "premium medium tank".
Calliope will be useless no matter what, its far worse than katyusha and mattress while costing much more, thats why so many people want easy8, so the commander doesnt rely entirely on trash unit that is calliope.
Calliope performance is completely irrelevant with Easy8 being in the commander. It presence in the commander is relevant with other call-in units thou.
Many people in usf commander thread expressed that they would like to see easy8 here. Just because few haters try to make this commander as weak as possible with their "suggestions" doesnt mean that this bad influence should be taken into account.
The fact that you perceive people providing their own feedback which is different than your as "hater trying to make the commander weak" is a strong indication that you are biased.
This has debate has started to take a very non productive turn. Bottom line is:
Easy8 is a good cost efficient tank that does not fit the commander thematically.
