Was this once a good unit?

Yes.

It was omega cancerous when it was able to shoot outside its vision range, thru shotblockers and one-shot medium tanks.

Im glad its a meme unit, one shot units like the ST, AVRE and B4 should not exist in a game thats about unit preservation... thers just no way to balance them, they either work as intended and are therefore broken as fuck (like the AVRE) or not and end up as a meme.

It certainly needs a buff. I don't see any reason why I panther should be able to defeat it in a 1v1 engagement. WP and a self repair ability on a heavy tank is cancerous if you're being serious. An increase in health and armor so it's actually capable of dealing heavy damage is all it needs.

Maybe because a panther is supposed to counter heavy tanks?

It would help alot to know which game mode you are playing. Im not gonna waste time to give tips when its not for 1v1/2v2 as i know nothing about the others.
USF playstyle probably differs alot more across the game modes than any other faction so the respective counters are different aswell.

stock usf is very strong in 1v1 and i cant blame anyone struggling against them specially when they use meta commanders like recon or jeep.
As Orangepest said, 5man grens are extremly strong vs usf (ostruppen too if you know how to play them).

Yes ostheer is OP, to some extend/scenarios
I didnt gave GiaA's thread a 10/10 review, atleast as far as i remember. The thing is, people already pointed out the points i disagreed with which isnt the case here, so i didnt feel like adding anything saying the same thing again.
correct me if im wrong, its been quite some time.

Youre not a troll for pointing out that ostruppen/5mn grens etc is OP but since you didnt argue about my critique about my thoughts it seems like you dont want to argue about them. Instead you sompared them to another stread....
so again: Are you actually trying to discuss balance or just make a troll thread mocking other threads?

Alot of ostheer stuff needs some changes, so does soviet stuff. i thought we are here to discuss what the major problems are

snip

1. yes
2. yes
3. i dont get that point?? make a list of everything that can kill stuff for any faction will make em look OP
4. every double at gun set up murders mediums, nothing special. the at gun rating depends alot on the targets you have to fight and every at gun combos well with mines or snares
5. every single light vehicle is usefull if used correctly and some have alot more broken abilities, like AEC treadshot etc
6. yes mines are good, nothing new
7/8. ost t4 just doesnt straight up beat usf or soviet stock late game armies, thats just not true. "only" the brumbar is op
9. i dont get why you mention UKF, USF is the faction that cant counter a sniper. btw, waiting 50min for a counter snipe 'Hans style' is just a trap. just use your ukf sniper instead of trying to cs all game long
10. you can make arguments for other medium tank, p4(j) best raw stats, sherman HE shells and smoke, t34/76 cost effectiveness
11. yes
12. best *stock mg i might add and stuart/t70 dont really care about incendiary rounds.
13. no
14. most upgrades are no-brainer: 7man cons, obers lmg, guard dp, bars etc etc
