Best to bring it in line with the precision bombing strike in terms of cost-efficiency and damage. Right now it overshadows it in every aspect.

Thats because precision bombing run is a horrible waste of ammo that will hit its target only if opponent turns off his screen for 30 sec. Its not really worth the cost given the time it takes to actually hit stuff.

Brilliant. You can also get a panther 30 fuel cheaper, which might make it usable again.

While he suggested it specifically for FHT, this side effect could be good as well.

M3 is way more responsive than this thing. In old COH1, the schims also handle like a dream. The Kubel handles more like a trolley cart than a car.

Not really.

Not after last nerfs it got.

Doesn't the M1919 dole out the same DPS as the LMG42?

And the BAR, for that matter, is pretty much an FG42 (that you can have, at most, two of).

Other than defensive stance, the problem here is...?

Its not the M1919 itself, but the fact that you can get two.

I believe relic went way overboard with increasing infantry lethality by giving WFA armies immense, unthinkable before AI damage.

What before Quad M5 did from med/close range now rifles and obers can do at max range.

No, my logic is following the changes relic does, which means the stronger the armor is, the bigger the price is and many variables add to that and the final cost, such as armor, health, ROF, range, penetration, speed, acceleration, even vet scaling. KV-1 is the closest thing to the panther with similar survivability, but survivability only. It have vastly inferior gun, noticeably inferior acceleration and speed, inferior range, penetration and costs only 30 less.

Now, similar things can be said about 34/85, which have nowhere near the survivabnility(much less armor), but makes up with better penetration, acceleration, speed then KV-1, but still is quite expensive.

Same things for both 76mm doctrinal shermans who pack a punch, but don't really take any.

Hell, recent P4 cost changes only confirms what I'm trying to tell, which is a sum of all stats makes up for the final price and when one units stats are far greater then others, so is the price.

For Panther the dominating stats are speed and acceleration, range(best of all med and heavy tanks, not talking tank destroyers here), armor and jet engines and arguably we could slap AI upgrade that adds up to ~13dps, which is noticeable, no matter how you try to spin it. Thats enough to warrant higher cost relatively to other tanks with lesser stats.

By your logic of "overpriced", probably the only tank that isn't, is the T34/76(again, taking medium armor only into consideration, KV-1 armament doesn't really classify it as heavy armor either).
