As OST i dont expect my Tiger winning against 2 Su 85 / 2 Jacksons / 3 Su-76.
As SOV i dont expect my Is2 Winning against 2 Stugs / 2 Panthers.
As USF why should i expect a Pershing winning against 2 Stugs / 2 Panthers ?

2 Panthers are 980 MP and 350 Fuel

I like how you mention nothing of the Elephant, King Tiger, Jadg Tiger and Tiger Ace. Which by the way, Axis completely dominates the armor field when either of these heavy tanks hit the field. It doesn't matter if you make 2-3 Jacksons, Su-85's or whatever. An Elephant, KT or JT will deny any sort of armor on the field.

USF has only 1 heavy tank. By the time you can field it, someone's gonna already have either one of those heavy tanks on the field.

But you can sit there and continue your straw man argument.

The combined arms ability actually makes the Pershing shoot slower at Vet 3. It also uses MG42 sounds when it should be using .30 cal machine gun sounds.

Other than that, it costs too much fuel for what it does. It's worse than a Tiger, but costs the exact same as a Tiger. IMO the fuel cost should be reduced to around 205. Which is in between a Panther and Tiger.

The saddest part of it all, is that this Pershing is actually weaker/worse than the Pershing in vCoH. The Pershing in vCoH could consistently win against a Tiger and even take on 2 Panthers at once. This Pershing can barely take on 1 Tiger depending on RNG and will lose to 2 Panthers.

That's why I kind of preferred vCoH's upgrade system. It actually made more sense. Volks got light AT (faust) for early vehicles and MP40 for light AI counter. Worked perfectly then CoH2 came along and for some reason they wanted to change it.

ATM. I don't think the shrecks are an issue because they're very much needed, but you really don't need a shreck to deal with an armored car THAT early in the game.

How to fix this issue by not fking the entire faction over? I dunno, probably the only way to do it is by a commander which seems to be the case nowadays.

Let's leave everything broken and just patch the game up with commanders you can buy.

Racks have their upsides and downsides. Also consider that adding up to 3 additional upgrade buttons for every single USF infantry unit would be a nightmare for Relic. Especially true for units like REs if you go Infantry company, as they'd need a second row.

You can afford to send units back to base for weapons. Mass retreats happen in the first place, and if you're able to hold a forward operating base, then you can afford to send single squads back for a paltry amount of time. Tying the need to go back to base with versatility is completely nonsensical.

Above all, don't fix what isn't broken. (Front-facing racks on some maps would be really nice, but that's about it.)

I dunno why people like you are using dual equipping as an argument lol. You realize that your units have a higher chance to drop their weapons when they dual equip? Not the mention 1 panzershreck > 2 bazookas or 1 mg34 is as good if not better than 2 bars. A gren squad can upgrade lmgs for 60 munis. Rifles need 120 munitions just for the bars to be effective. 1 bar boosts the dps of rifles by a very minimal amount that it's almost not even worth it.

The only good thing about the weapons rack is that it's a universal upgrade so that any infantry can grab it... except the only unit worth putting it on is rifles. RE's don't scale well with their vet, Paras already have lmgs and thompsons. Both Paras and Rangers have x4 thompsons for 90 munis. You seriously gonna give them bars or bazookas?

Basically you're an idiot if you equip bars or zooks on anything except rifles or re's. And if you put zooks on rifles you've just gg'ed yourself because they won't do anything against grens with lmgs or obers. It wouldn't be hard just giving RE's a zook upgrade and Rifles a bar/lmg upgrade. So don't exaggerate it like you'd need to put additional upgrades for every single infantry.

To my mind it need hp buff or cost nerf.

I agree. It's only a little better than the Panther stat wise and it costs much more.
