diferente of german armor who is better armored ( even in real life ). but thats the point in later game
playing as usf is really hard coz your units are vet 5 and the heavies hit the battlefield and a pershing would be like a meat shield.. making it as expensive as Kt would be fair i think . i don´t see it unbalanced ...
