The Comet used to be easily the most powerful advanced medium. It has since been nerfed a little too much. As Katitof said, it would go a long way if its veterancy was improved.
Though the truth is that the tank is in need of a slight buff, there is no need to insult the devs working at Relic. I will politely ask you to refrain from such behavior in the future.
It's absolutely necessary to insult them Dingbats, absolute moon cats! I politely give them my money and they give me nothing but a big pile of human waste on wheels/tracks. Please buy a comet tank and you will NOT kill any infantry. While one tiger tank shell will murder and full squad of British troops. RIDICULOUS!
I have saved games, that I only save because of this reason alone. To show people how AWFUL the game was designed. A game that comes to mind, one game this comet tank didn't move. Just sat there shooting at other German tanks, this Comet tank missed ALL six shots before being killed, SIX times! SIX! One, miss. Two miss. Three miss. Four miss. Five miss. Six miss.!!! Then blew up by two PANZER 4's. Yes PAZER 4's!!!
Two Cromwell's could NEVER, NEVER take on ONE tiger tank!
Whoever made that decision in the board room! What a bunch of Moon Cats.
