People seem to forget that a TD can only do one thing, destroy tanks.
Units like the Comet or Panther are different. They can crush, pressure and force infantry away (Which Panther does way better because it's MG's are crazy), and inflict bleed. When your opponent invests in things like, a jackson or a firefly, all it is there to do is to deter tanks. It fires at the Panther and tries to scare it off (God help you if you try to dive a panther with potential teller mines around or paks). The popcap for a TD is basically inflicting bleed on yourself since your just trying to scare off the tank.
Then, you aren't even guaranteed to hit or pen the Panther. A firefly alone would take 30 friggen seconds to kill a panther (if all shots hit and all shots penetrated). The panther has basically run amok during this time especially if it's using cheeky shot blockers. If people complain that the Panther can't reliably destroy tanks, and is too hard to get, that sounds like a reload problem (Which the patch is addressing) and tech/fuel cost. I admit it's a bit odd how brits can get their Comet somewhat sooner then a German player can get a Panther, but the factions have trade offs to one another.
The Jackson buff seems like a necessary evil, it's all USF has non-doct and the only tank USF can use past 20 minutes. If I had a choice I'd like to make it more like the M10 where it has shorter range but can be a monster up close and dives like no tomorrow. The true 'Murica way.
Sorry if I don't clap to the shitposting
1) it's not that mg's are "CRAZY HURR DURR", the mg's are THE ONLY AI panther has, while Comet can ACTUALLY deal with infantry.
Addiotionally you need to PAY munitions for that dps, while the mg dps is minimal compared to other mg dps (like 50cal pintle or t34 mg's).
And all mg's need to face target to inflict the dps (that get mostly negated by craters at this stage of the game).
2) I'm so sorry allies TD doesn't instapen, really..the lowest dps TD, which happens to be the most expensive, in the whole game, can capitalize on the only thing it has decent, armor, trading so bad with shit accuracy, shit rof, shit damage..that is never ever seen in competitive...it's a shame, nerf moar.
3) It's not only a rof problem, is an accuracy problem, panther misses, and has a low rof, so mention that as result panther has less dps than a su76m in your desperate rant over "the bleed of allies TD".
