8 Shermans is 2 or 3 players worth of armor so you are talking about 3/4 v 3/4.
Yea, I am talking about 3v3 and 4v4. And I understand the whole balance issue with those games modes. But as the Opel was recently changed for team games, seems like there are still reasonable things that can be done to make them more balanced.

I have had promising battles with the rakentenwerfer for support against smaller #'s of tanks. They are great AT support. They won't chase off tanks on their own because they die so fast. Even an insta retreat of a battery will see at least one die to focused fire. I find you need to use 2+ minimum. One is never going to do anything unless you just want to kill a scout car.
What you really need is another tank with them working in support. That is where my problems lie. I haven't been able to find that tank that works for OKW. I'm resolved to give Puma's and the JagdPzIV another shot though (the panther just doesn't cut it).
Oh also, I agree on the point US/SOV being able to wreak havoc on OKW with medium tanks in some situations…
Exactly my problem. 130 Fuel for the JagdPzIV is less than the 175 for the Panther plus the 40 fuel cheaper for the initial truck cost. I think I could probably get two them out and with some Rakentenwerfers, maybe that will work.
The other option is trying pumas which are only 70 fuel, so you could have like 4 of them. Worth experimenting with I think.
