You didn't knew that, because you probably don't know how to micro panther to get most out of its MGs vs infantry. And yes, it can beat AT infantry and AT guns if there is no mainline with a snare waiting for it, it just gets behind ATG and pushes AT inf while MGs do the work.
I won't even address the fact that you didn't knew a panther can beat heavy tanks despite it being specifically balanced for that single purpose.
can't inf just park behind cover, the damage is from the mg after all even yellow cover cut it by half already ? And if we got by flanking wouldn't that be pretty much universal
what u said was true, with high armor and pen it could easily deal with heavy tank, now that it has much less armor the Pershing beats it, same for is 2, obv if u stay at range u can win but u said panther
engaging not constantly kiting
BTW since u say it beats AT infantry i tested it, put 2 RE with PIAT vs a panther in open field first, and they won with 3 man remaining, while in cover they lost only 2 man, so stop with the meme that panther AI is the best, and panther has 0.5 moving accuracy so the mgs get half the dps while moving while the infantry will get the job done especially if it snares it while u try to move them in like u said
