Just stating they overlap is worthless, you're not a high level 1v1 player.

Dude, Arrigo Sacchi - the great Italian manager of AC Milan during their dominant spell in the late 80’s and early 90s - was a shoe salesman and bound to fail as a coach because, well, he didn’t have the "requisite experience as a player."

Sacchi’s response to this:
“I never realised that one has to be the horse in order to be the jockey.”

The same quote could come from Gregg Popovich (winning 5 NBA rings with the Spurs),
Phil Jackson - a role player but great coach (winning 11 rings with 2 franchises) or Jürgen KLopp who was only a 2nd division player (and a bad one).
There are more than enough examples of analysts, coaches, managers who are great in what their doing without having being a great player. There are also A LOT of great players who suck as managers and coaches. And there are great managers/coaches who were great players too (Cruyff, Zidane, Guardiola etc.)

What does that tell us? It should always be about the quality of the argument on this forum and not about the "rank".
You post good arguments on this forum but i absolutely dislike the elitist behavior. I dont think that you need this "you are no top level player", "show me your player card" bullshit. Let your arguments speak for themselves because they are good.

I respect your opinion also but the problem has more to do with Tiger being OP and less with C.Panther being UP. C. Panther could use some changes or a redesigning to make it more attractive but getting "heat rounds" is a step in the wrong direction.

Commando Panther is really not worth the price atm and the unit has an identity crisis.
Thats why i really like Itaperuna's idea of making the Commando Panther a real AT specialist.
Take away the aura bonus and redesign the unit as "Panther Ace".

You have good point in saying that HEAT rounds AND mark target would be too much though.
What i would like see would be an ability that would give better reload times for the Panther.

Lets gather some ideas here to make the Commando Panther better, maybe some of them can make it to the comming patch.

Another option: Spotting Scopes

My message to the patch team, is thank you for your effort to improve the game.

This +1

I think too many people take the effort of the mod team for granted and dont test anything by themselves. I remember very well how few people tested the revamped and new commanders although the mod team was very responsive in this process.

Next thing is the bad "discussion culture" on this forum. People making jokes about the steam forum but are you sure coh2.org is that much better? Axis vs. Allies bullshit is everywhere and derails almost every thread, followed up by the "show me your player card" nonsense.
Never mind that the quality of the argument should be the only thing that matters.

JaeforJett / Sander responded and posted again and again in the past and I was always impressed about the way they interacted. But I could fully understand if they are not interested anymore in doing that. You dont spend your free time on a (semi)toxic forum if you dont need to.

Why nerfing Panzer tactian for all commanders although its only problematic in Mobile Defense? Bad idea imo. WOuld be better to simply replace Pancer Tactician with Stuka Smoke drop then.
