The original statement was ( if i am not mistaken )
Which is true
This is my bad, i miss reading and thought that he say wp out range ATs fire range. I think he was refer to the time when wp have 70 range.
stand for correct about it. Sorry.
Like I said? I said that you CAN take 1-2 Pak shots if you are not careful / fast enough.
Also would you really have to retreat your Comet in this scenario ? The spotter is forced to retreat so the Paks have no way of seing you, so you can just WP them.
To be clear, im not trying to put any word in your mount, sorry if i made you feel so.
Im taking your screnario and reply base on my experience. I tend to use tank very conservative in general.
Still, push back a comet with properly using of AT and infantry is possible i believe.
Great. Next time I see a comet I will simply get my pak 40 killed and then recrew it with infantry ...
Im pointing out the possibility. And keep at gun not having to recrewed from the stat to comet timing is rare.
And how much does it cost again ? Also the Panther needs it to have at least some AI capability. And it isn't even a no brainer for like half the viable OKW commanders. When you have MG 42 you can't have a commander equipped
And also costs 10 to 30 fuel less ( also its AI capability seems to be similar if not better to the Panzer 4s main gun and once upgraded it can outrange Infantry ... unlike the counterparts of the axis)
My point is the cromwell is a worse (cheaper) tank, so it can have a better upgrade, and the upgrade it self is not game breaking. A cromwell with tank commander wont suddenly beat a p4 in a 1v1, so doesn't the comet vs panther. It give an edge, but not nailed the engagement.
I don't really see a problem with that. Panther is more expensive and pretty much AI only
And im not saying there are any problem, too.
