Comets and Panthers aren't at the same level. Comets is more like a Tiger on steroids than a panther. Brit's counterpart of panthers are FF.
Comets and Panther are very similar. Comets have unnecessarily effective gun versus infantry. Comet need the same gun as Panther. Chosing commader/MG upgrade and if you pick commader upg., replace smoke with HEAT rounds (with MG upgrade, keep smoke).
IS2 is really bad, you don´t need more than one Panther to fight it off really..
IS2 + ZiS is great combo. With only one Panther I cannot quick finish IS2, but I am only average player.
It would be allways better to play KT + AT gun, then only one allowed Panther.
1 per brit player at time (same as any other supertank) and cannot be upgrade tank commander.
If you lock 1 Comet/Panther for player, so it will be difficult to fight for example against IS2.
And with only one Panther you cannot effectively flank.
Excuse me, I did not express myself adequately. What I meant is that OKW - most of the times - gets a lesser fuel income than the other factions because of the lack of caches. Especially in team games you see lots of those things, especially on allied side.
In team games, you get fuel from team caches also. Plus you can salvage wreck.
Problem only if all team play OKW.
I feel like this tank needs a re-vamp before the patch hits. Give it some sort of suppression or engine dmg ability that could make it useful again, or simply re-design the way it operates on the field of battle. Thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
I think, this tank need something like ZiS/Su76 barrage.
This eliminates all the disadvantages, what OKW have and make them flawless. And also makes Ost useless (MG from start, Obers with 2xshreck, halftruck).
Obers in T1
Volks with StG44+MP40
I will love play this design, but who will play for allies again this?
