That´s the Comet. Versatility is not the Panthers strenght. Especially not the Ostheer Panthers.
I suggest you look up the stats. The Ostheer Panther doesn´t have as efficient MGs. In fact it kills a conscript every 15 or so seconds. This is appaling. The rate of fire of the main gun is also worse than that of a Panzer IV which penetrates most tanks anyway while being better versus infantry.
If microed well one Cromwell can kill a Panther, two will for sure - for the same fuel cost. That is how "well" the Panther performs in the AT department. But I forgot, it´s not supposed to counter medium tanks for cost. That´s not its role. It´s role is to appear once every full moon and kill a heavy tank only to return to insignificance after that.
alright. i guess its not a versatile as one might think, but then it becomes a dedicated tank hunter of all sizes and shapes.
lets be honest here. killing a conscript every 15 seconds with all 3 MG's is either fantasy or bad RNG, and i've yet to see such a thing happen with my 840< hours in the game.
Also, ofcourse a well- micro'd P4/crownwell can beat most other tanks, but that applies to every single medium in the game, so its really no argument. It makes the P4 a favorite in my own strategies.
and im not sure what this means:
''But I forgot, it´s not supposed to counter medium tanks for cost. That´s not its role. It´s role is to appear once every full moon and kill a heavy tank only to return to insignificance after that.''
is this a bad werewolf reference or were you just taking the p*ss out of it, making a bad joke?
