"a bit lesser AI"?
You're comparing one of the most powerful anti-infantry guns in the game to the Panther's gun, which has worse AoE than a stock medium tank.
Yes a bit exaggerated if you are on a 1 to 1 gun basis.
But overall Panther has almost too insane AI for a stock premium tank.
It is like having a gren firing on top while the driver fires the main gun. AKA panther can dish 50 range AT damages AND AI mg at the same time. While Pershing needs to switch AI or AT. So thats my point.
If any pershing aoe nerf in 1.3, then it must be compensated with upgradable 50cal or tank commander to give it sight.
I like the sight suggestion. It can see further than others but it needs to dive in because of the lower range gun.
