To @Mr.Smith too
Please note that generalist = AOE for main gun
Also IMHO
0) axis doesn't need another AI vehicle
1) axis have enough defensive TD
2) axis lack offensive TD
3) the panther turretted deisign is perfect for an offensive vehicle
4) if panther has to stay somewhat armored (which doesn't imply 320 USS enterprise armor + vet 2 force shield bonus) 50 and 60 range will ALWAYS be broken, as either panther will be OP or UP and won't hit shit so it can't counter is supposed counter unit (FF, JACK, SU)
5) if it can't counter TD (would broke a lot of things indeed) the best role is medium counter, aka fast firing and accurate (even on the move), but will lose some armor, range, and penetration.
The advantage of making panther an anti mediums are
1) It opens a WORLD of strategies based on mobility and flanking
2) jackson and FF and Su will be able to target panther with 15-20 range of distance from panther maximum range
3) because of point 2 panther gunner doesn't need to be blind
4) stug/jadgpanzer 4 loses rof for penetration and damage, no more stug spam as most effective units, those casamate TD will get 60 range to counter allies TD and heavies, like FF, Jackson and su.
..............
"1) It is supposed to chase tanks but also needs to stop to hit things,
2) it's supposed to be quite survivable but not be survivable against most anti tank and tds (thus the armor vet nerf),
3) it's suppsoed to counter heavies with the penetration but now also be able to fire faster.
This doesn't make sense. Those are all contradictions."
Exactly
I don't know what mode you play and what level you are in that mode. However I have a feeling you are not "microing" your OKW Panthers properly.
The proper way to micro the Panther is to activate Combat Blitz and make sure you keep moving. It will never miss that way.
I'm not being sarcastic here. I'm actually serious. OKW Panther is 30% more accurate when moving than when it's not moving. That's on top of SU-85+ baseline level accuracy.
Similar such magick feats also occur with all OKW vehicles that have Combat Blitz, except for the Ostwind.
The accuracy nerfs on the Panther mainly aim to address the ridiculouslness of that issue.
OST Panther and Comet are a low-micro units. OKW Panther is a no-micro unit.
Post-patch, OST Panther main focus will be firing more frequently, whereas OKW Panther will hit more accurately and have better MGs while being more expensive.
Because you're full of mouth and won't shut up, then ignore answers when they're given to you.
