How is the Cromwell bad in these areas? It has the best stationary accuracy of any medium tank because of the tank commander and it has better far penetration than the Sherman and the T-34/76.
I also have no idea why you would judge it based on an engagement with a Panther or a Tiger, tanks that are supposed to eat mediums for breakfast and that the Sherman and T-34/76 lose even harder to.
The Panther has 50 range, by the way.
I mostly play in 3v3 and 4v4. Generally that means Allies spend all game preping for the Panthers and everything is just a prelude for then.
As such, Crommy is obsolete in late game.
Also, Crommy does have more far pen than the Sherman.... by 5, but the American Classic can swap to the HE death blaster and has 75% moving accuracy, really nice for those who dont have the APM to stutter stepor hold fire till stationary. Sherman is also cheaper in every way, with potentially superior smoke and radio net thrown in for fun. The T34 has miserable pen, but is priced accordingly (only 10 pop) and has the problematic ram. Crommy has great accuracy.Just stand reeeeeal still. On your high speed tank. Better not get shot back by the tank with equal range, better pen, better veterancy, better surivability
She's just expensive for what she does. Shes THE SAME COST as a P4 (not at my computer, is she still 120 fuel? I swear she got a price cut.), just worse in every way except for mild speed, accuracy and spotting (for muns). Just... feels bad.
Im just sad about a cool unit I cant justify and never see.
Hunt is a REALLY NICE step towards Crommy actually doings her job, thanks Sanders.
