Ostheer T3 > Ostheer T4. Panther is pretty underwhelming in most of the games. Nothing double Panzer IVs or StuGs can´t handle. If you want to nerf Ostheer T4 out of the game then and only then your suggestion to nerf the Panther is viable. If the AI gets nerfed as you suggest the Panther should get 60 range though.

The Panther becomes actually good at vet2. But getting it there is hard as you hardly kill any infantry (at least with the Ostheer version which is a bit weaker in AI iirc) or can only take single shots and drive off due to the low health pool. A small buff to AI would actually make the Panther way more viable.

The Panther will not get any anti-inf buffs and it's not supposed to. It won't get nerfed either, but the problem with Ost is with T4 cost.


OP's list seems not really well thought through.

They are both over performing so I don't see the problem

Maybe try using them. They are over performing and way too accurate. On top they are really hard to counter when used properly so they definitely need a nerf.

Someone forgot to add in "UKF buffs" poor Sextons. They are actually same bad, as Valentines.

And would be nice to buff Royal Artillery at all.

Yes that does need a buff, I did forget. The base 25 pounder probably needs buff as well.

And I don't get, why Panther should have increased AI abilities? It's already good in that, having 3 or even 4 MGs on that. Panther is AT-tank with outstanding armor, fast speed and nice range of fire. Add AI effectiveness and you will get... Pershing with armor, lol.

Brummbar acuraccy should be rised right after buffing KV-2 and Dozer accuracy. Not before!

Nerfing riflemans? Ok, let's nerf infantry of faction, which is already have pretty poor and glassy tanks, no non-doctirnal mortars/rockets and latecoming HMGs. We already have crippled soviets without real core in their army, don't make USF lose their core in face of Riflemans, duuuude!

And if you gonna make emplacement's HP lesser, than makes MP cost lesser. I don't want to pay 400 MP for big, static and fragile mortars, for example.

Because the Panther comes at 175f(Ost)/200f (OKW) respectively and has 10 range less than other dedicated AT units. For Ostheer in general it comes in an unattractive tier with very high teching cost. In a vacuum it is a good vehicle. But it is not "Skipping T3" or "Stopping to build further Panzer IVs" - good and thus rather unattractive.

I consider the Panzer IV superior, simply because it gets 20 infantry in no time and reaches vet2 easily. At that point the armor is high enough to bounce a shot every now and then and take on tanks on its own.

When you say "unattractive" you should mean T-34-76, not Panther. Cos everyone makes Panthers and almost noone T-34-76s, ok?

And that "10 range less" is price for 320 frontal armor, and nice speed. 10 less range and high price.

If you want Panther-type anti-everything tank you should play as USF and use Pershing, cos it's really copy of Panther with AI capabilities. Or call Tigers, they are badass too :romeoPro:

panther has some cons and some pros.....has better armor than most of the other tank destroyers, it has a turret and it has better AI capabilities than others....Then, you can even improve with blitz and smoke....

if t4 is not OK, fix T4, not fine units inside that tier imho, but I´m a noob so who cares what I think.

thanks for you reply....don´t aggree with your reasoning but appreciatted anyway.

Thanks.
