When did i say its not viable..just that it can't compete with soviet late game.This is the truth.Tell me how u micro vs t-34/85s,shermans,is-2 and isus.U might get a flank in on su-85s if he's careless.
I have no problem with tiger being toned down as long as soviet armour is toned down too ..so germans can compete late game without tiger.Right now without tiger they can't.U take that away..ostheer is finished armourwise.This is not whining..just the meta.
I micro by using 2 panzer IV's supported by paks. If its not an ISU, it backs off. If i have an elefant, it never comes back. If i have a Tiger along with my panzer IV's and stugs, i keep an advantage. Panzerschrecks are there to piss soviet tanks off. Soviets were never allowed to complain that their tanks were inferior to German tanks throughout the entire game. And the answer to the whining was combined arms. So everyone was so used to combined arms, that when there was a patch, Germans did not know how to counter it since they were never forced to use it themselves.
