Go in game and try driving the 222 around, it handles like the kettengrad, and its massive!

Gammon is T4 and its locked behind a specialization, thats why its worse than satchel? There is always a counterargument

there's more to armor then just the regular medium tank. Both axis factions get the panther and the okw specifically get the King tiger. The british have the excellent comet (and formerly awesome) churchill on top of the cromwell.

giving both the sov and the US decent medium tank is not going to change the fact the axis still have access to superior tanks in their tech tree. I would have prefer buffing the sherman instead of giving rifleman the terminator veterancy.

Why people go for puma instead of rushing panther?
Why people go Stuart instead of waiting for sherman?
Why people go P4/Panther instead of stalling for KT?
Why people use osttruppen instead of building more grens?
Why people go conscript ppsh/PTRS instead of guards/shocks?
Why people go StuG-E instead of Ostwind?
Why people go SU-76 instead of SU-85?

Timing, cost, cost effectiveness. All of it can impact the unit and its validity.
Unit doesn't have to be improvement over what you have there as stock units, but it needs to be cost efficient enough.

People avoid 34/76 because its NOT cost efficient.
Yes, its cheapest med in game, but it doesn't make it cost efficient, just like M-42 is not cost efficient in relation to ZiS-3.

Relic made a tank, so its effective and efficient exclusively in numbers and in early enough game stage.
Then they increased its menpower cost and pop cap, so getting it in numbers is not efficient.

The tank is bad for the cost, even if the cost is relatively low in comparison to other tanks of its tier.
Its not even being bad vs other tanks. Its about being bad for the cost it have itself. You can reliably win vs T34/76 using puma.
