I understand that it might not be used often (at all?) during the WWII but it's not about deleting the Pershing and adding the Super Pershing. All I am suggesting is giving it an HP pool boost. It does not necessarily have to be a Super Pershing in the end. I suggested it as it is a similar vehicle with only a few changes and would be a good source for graphical model, but outside of that, I do not want to change the vehicle. If we can add a buff to the original Pershing without making it a "Super" variant - I am fine with that.

Try to compare the stats of tiger and pershing. The only important thing that tiger is better at is the hp pool, while pershing gets all the other benefits - it has higher penetration, better AI, speed and acceleration. Plus, it has totally amazing special attack and crew nades. Hp is its only disadvantage (for the record it also has lower rear armour but its not important for such a fast tank). Just learn to use tanks strenghts and don't let enemy use its weaknesses and all will be well.

You can also look at it the other way: USF has 2 amazing tanks at last tier - sherman which is great flanker and best AI med in game, and jackson - a TD that has great view range and deals with even heaviest of german tanks. These two tanks are enough to win any late game match but they have one problem - they are micro intensive and when the numbers become bigger and bigger, you need a lot of skill to manage all of them.

That is when pershing comes in - a heavy that is kind of micro intensive for a heavy as well, but still much, much less than two additional mediums. It also has good armour, usefull abilities and does the job of both jackson and sherman - being better at both roles. That's why it is needed and why you should build it. If you find pershing usefull, just like I do, and you would buy it instead of two additional jacksons, then its in perfect spot - it adds combat ability to your army while not being one tank army itself.

Pershing is in a perfect spot right now, there is no need for any changes. What's more, super pershing would be the only tank in whole game that wasn't used during ww2, that's why relic is not going to try this even if they thought pershing is UP.

Also, this is wrong forum for ballance thread.

By a similar logic, is the ISG supposed to also receive the extra 33% range on the default weapon for a wooping 140 range ?

LeIG is ok I suppose, but think of pack howie - who is going to build that expensive to buy and mantain, easy to decrew short range gun when he can just buy double mortars and get both more range and firepower for same price.

I suddenly realised how often I use the coh2.org bookmark

I work in a softwarefirma....there is no big deal to fix database entrys.

If a mortar have to long range...u go in the database and change the value from 120 to 80. Done in 10min.

I don´t know why relic need so much time...and why theire testteam is so bad

I understand them a little bit. Coh2 was a project aimed on saving THQ from bancrupting, so it was done in a hurry, then they had to finish it even faster to show sega that they have ready product, not to have all their work dumped. That means the code was never refractored or tested and is impossible to read into or change. All it does is working by a set of strange miracles.

This is why they either take awful amounts of time or just let the bugs that need changes in that code be. That is also why we never seen any real optimisation or pathing (and other AI) changes. The code is simply terribly dirty, thats all. Making it work costs much more than doing the change itself in that scenario.

That is also exactly why they seem so good at adding new content and so bad at updating or fixing things.

As for the current patch, they most probably still fight with the vision bug of us mortar. This may take any amount of time from simple change to half year of work... So just wait and hope everyone.
