And apparently it'll be fixed or at least addressed in patch after this one.
Nope. I was informed we can't touch it cause okw might struggle if they tie call ins to tech.
It only means that the Command Panther can't be changed without giving OKW a minor faction redesign in return. Which is too elaborate to squeeze into the New Commanders Patch that focusses on small changes only, but would be in scope for the next big balance patch.
For the same reason the Maxim only received a minor change to see if a band-aid fix in conjunction with better Cons will help it enough already, as the only other way to make it better would be to redesign the unit or again - redesign OKW's early game. Which would be too big of a change for a patch like this as well.
