Allied medium have better penetration at mid range 20 since 120>115. PzIV has worse chance to penetrate at all ranges while being more expensive.
If you also factor in the chance to and especially on the move the PzIV has even less chance to and penetrate a Comet.
Those are the numbers happy now?
Try countering a Comet with PzIV and let me know how well it goes for you.
Funny how you ignore T-34/76 and panther vet 2 stats, but game is not a vacuum so I'm not going to get sucked into this debate.
What makes the comet worse vs Okw p4 for example compares to panther vs meds is the crap vet.
Comet problem is 10mins after you keep it alive you're going to be clubbed by vet panthers and vet p4 that cleans up Tommies for breakfast.
All axis have to do vs a comet is sit back and vet your tanks, then you win because comet vet is laughable compared to other tanks in its price range. But you are still sticking to your silly argument the tank throwing grenades at vet 3 is somehow better than a straight up reload buff like panther or Pershing gets.
Brits do not need a tank to clear at guns in assault with grenade and deal with a panzer 4, they already have Churchill for that. Imo remove all the gimmicks like random nade pops and give it better scaling. similar vet 2 and 3 to IS-2 would be a good start (extra range back to 50 at vet 2 so you can at least fire back vs panther, don't worry Okw fanbois your tanks will still vet better they just won't club)
