But had 120 fuel less tech cost.
And has received several nerf since then. The old JP was a beast once vetted.
And my point is different. JP not being used has very little to do with Panther's performance vs mediums. There is little reason to built one if to counter mediums.
That would be an improvement but I doubt it would enough. I would rather see the unit balanced as 100-110 FU unit.
1- Different numbers (i guess you are counting flak + PA) cause the truck were free and same as before, fuel tech cost can't directly translate 1:1 and unlocking tech gave free bonuses (healing, resource conversion/mechanics, truck gun).
What i'm saying is you can't translate old performance OKW using their direct values.
2- Old JPIV was broken and limited only by the resources you could get. The unit is still beast once vetted, it's that it's suited towards defensive bonuses mostly. Something which is less desirable in high count player games where unit volumes might make it irrelevant.
3: True. It might not be enough.
4: But i think it would strip the units from it's uniqueness if it has to be brought down to a 100/110f similar to the Stug. Penwise is already the same so in order to retain its 60 range it would probable have to had their vet 2 replace and lose the size/armor advantage. Rof would go down as well.
