Man are you delusional ? I said I would pick the range and speed over armor and hp. Because that is how every single RTS game work. Mobility and range are kings in those games. Why in AoE2 was Longbow or Eagle Warriors notorious and Teutonic Knight was a nono ? The same reason. The vehichles you are talking about are not even in the games time period and I really didn't get what you want to say.
Yes the panther is good agreed but it can't dive allied TDs freely except for lonely SU-85.
the comparison isnt fair with the argument going as follows
1. a claim that a 60 range cheap TD locking down all your nondoc armor is a l2p issue
2. you implied that the JT/ele with its superior range locking down allied TDs is an equally valid analogy and l2p issue
but disregarding
1. the allies dont have that speedy premium medium i mentioned awhile ago capable of tanking hits from a JT/ELE like a panther can against an SU/FF/jackson
2. the fact that this premium medium also has AI capabilities which if not kept in check by the TD can deal significant damage to infantry
but then counteracted by stating " I said I would pick the range and speed over armor and hp"
which then disregards
3. the panther is faster than both the FF and SU-85 while being more armored aswell... the only real advantage of the aforementioned TDs is range
as for the jackson yeah it should prolly cost 155 fuel with the FF being 140-145
