Increasing their armor slightly honestly wont have a huge impact on their "surivive-ability" considering soviet mines, tank shots, and maxims would still be able to easily counter them. Giving them a higher armor value would allow them to finally be able to stand up to things like Shocks, which are a little bit more expensive than PGs, but wipe them out easily, even when PGs have mid-range advantage for a time, and con model snipes while they're on the move.
The same as most topics on this forum: "I lose at CoH2, but it's not my fault. Here's a list of things to change so I can win more without having to improve".
I m pretty sure there will be a Pershing.Maybe the design of the pershing isn t finished yet. I m almost 100% sure that he is in the game.The Units we saw on the screenshots weren t all i think.(I hope)
