OP answered gis iwn question: is pak43 too strong? No. Is 17pdr too weak? No.
Ergo: no changes needed if you truely want abalanced game. The rest of the thread is fanboyism at its finest. No rhyme or reason to almost any argument. Basically people argueing whether giraffes or rattlesnakes are better and why.

Your post contributes to neither side. Just passive-aggressive chaff.
