If so, why didn't the SU-85 and Firefly get the same treatment?

This is exactly the reason TD pen amounts won't be coming down. It's because the direction the game is going is more armor requiring more pen for reliable damage. IMO viability of the Brumbar is bad is because of the profiliation of tigers in doctrines and the heavy tank meta of last patch. Tiger can do what Brumbar does and more. In actuality I don’t want TD penetration values to go down, I actually want them to go up with less rate of fire, so that medium TDs can all specialize in the Firefly mold of high pen low rate of fire, which opens up the field for medium tank play.

Nope, not a strawman because that's exactly what happened to Heavy tanks last patch. Cp requirement down, Performance up. Yeah but that failed pretty dramatically and the game has been suffering from the heavy tanks meta since the AoE and scatter adjustments. Performance has to go down or at the very least their counters need to be buffed.

And we should have one again.

The facts: Gren openings are underutilized in the ost arsenal because of decisions like: Buffing Rifleman or Assault Grens into Panzer gren mechanized being so viable. Uhhhh no, they're underutilized because of munitions. You need 60 muni on a Gren squad to bring it up to Pgren level, which starves you for munitions which you need for rifle grenades, fausts, med bunker and teller mines.

Issue: You aren't tackling the issue of Assault Grens and Panzer Gren timings but instead stright up decreasing the opportunity costs of getting Grens. Bleed works through out the game therefore the change is a stirhgt up manpower increase through the mid and late game. This is for a faction that never had troubles with manpower but instead munitions. There is no issue of Assgren and Panzergrenadier timings. Grenadiers are just becoming a bit more cost efficient which is good since everything around them is so much stronger with buffed Sections, buffed Riflemen and 7man cons.

Another issue: T4 fuel decrease and Brumbar armor buff without taking into account 20% armor bonus at vet 2. They did take the 20% armour bonus into account. The Brummbar is a heavy assault gun with bad mobility and bad range. It finally has actual armour to do its job, so hopefully it's viable again.

As a result of this change T3 comes slightly slower while T4 comes faster. T4 has become Cheaper and the units more powerful. I feel like this should be done one at a time not both. THis can almost be compared to making the KT arrive faster but with higher performance as well. Brummbar was dead and 15 fuel faster T4 isn't that dramatic. A strawman argument with the KT comparison doesn't convince anyone.

This might still won't matter cause tiger still does both A.I (brumbar) and A.T (panther) and still won't the manpower cost of building the T4 building. A possible solution is combining the manpower cost of T4 into the teching cost and making the building essentially "free" That way Tiger won't be out of the T4 roster entirely. Or all heavy tanks could be nerfed to a balanced power level. Ostheer T4 is a specialist tier, with the Brummbar being an AI assault specialist, the Panther a heavy AT specialist and the Panzerwerfer an anti-weapons teams specialist. The Tiger is a heavy generalist and if it overshadows the entire specialist tier that's because it's overtuned as with all heavies and needs to be nerfed.

How? The M36s have +15 range, accelerate faster, have a higher top speed, and 50% better moving accuracy. Provided the USF player is competent, there's no way the P4s could win; they wouldn't actually get within range of the M36s to begin with.
