Profile of austerlitz

With OKW this is what i usually try to do vs maximspam in a team game.Co-ordinate with ur heer teammate who needs to get mortars .Get the doctrines that let u deploy infantry from buildings like fallschirms.But most of all just survive till u can rush a stuka...once stuka arrives..i can bet he will not have enough time for 10 CPs and 2 t-85s because maxims don't get enough kills and u can pulverize his turtle.

With this strategy ur ostheer teammate needs to go p4.U should get raketenwerfers-minimum 2 .Ur doctrine should be pak 43 one since ur armor will come a little late if u want added AT protection ..or fallschirms if u want early game ambushes on maxims and zis.

The other method is infantry support gun.but it will never kill maximspam fast enough and if u need to build 2 or more of those ur main frontline units are usually below strength due to MP crunch.

Panther is supposed to be a 'stalk, stop.hit, and run' sort of tank hunter-like a big version of the puma. The high speed is also factored into the price.

Except the hit part where the whole chain breaks.Even if u get a hit in what does?Ur dmg is avg..ur reload is high and ur accuracy unreliable.Main thing abt the puma is the special shot which panther doesn't have.It doesn't even have enough vision to use its range at which it will most likely miss-u'll flank with a spotter leading u?lol..If ur flanking which what that 'speed' is supposed to be for then u will have to fire on the move.U'll likely miss.Even if u hit ur dmg won't kill stuff quickly and ur reload is bad.Ur also helpless vs bazookas and 1 AT gun even will trouble u.So really this 'tank hunter' is a fairytale.

Relic possibly tried to portray the long range advantage of panther gun in real life over allied mediums by plus 10 range and the best penetration of all german tank guns into the depiction of this unit.However this doesn't translate to ingame effectiveness at all as u'll never really need the penetration except an is-2 which u can flank with ur speed anyway,and range makes little diff due to need for spotting which is not viable in aggressive flanks at most times and its bad accuracy,combined with bad reload and high speed of allied tanks which will allow them to close with impunity in most cases.Thus these largely useless attributes range and pen only serve to burden the unit with an unsustainable price ,just an excuse for allied players to keep this unit dead and out of the game.

34/85 costs 140fu it pays 15fu for 160 more hp and bit more pen then P4(lets completely ignore a minor detail that its not even a stock unit). Dual stuff is on a discount. For reference compare Wehr pair of shrecks vs OKW shreck costs since german only comparisons might actually get to you.

Jackson have no armor, no health and weaker penetration then SU-85. Turret and 240dmg is all it has really as it can't even spot for itself like SU-85.

You might want to use P4 this patch instead of spamming tigers to actually see how much its AI was buffed.

Now, following your very own logic, how much should jagdpanzer cost with superior armor and penetration to SU-85? 140fu? More?

And being doctrinal lets it being tech free-advantage rather than disadvantage.And which t-34/85 is used more dual one or single one.Dual one obviously..if its a discount its a grossly OP one pricewise.OKW shreck cost also includes that winter stuff.

Yeah and its dmg is enough kill tigers in 4 shots.If panther the german 'tank hunter' isn't allowed to kill tanks at 175 fuel,i don't see why t-34/85 and jackson at 130 fuel and 125 fuel should.
I do use it,u don't get to tiger without stug or p4.And its AI is good but nothing godly...but when soviet get a t-34/85 for 10 more mp and 5 fuel..and u try to justify that then you need to check ur brain first.

Whatever - jagd already costs 135 fuel for a 2/3rd income faction.The faction description and reduced income of OKW is supposed to be balanced by powerful and cost effective units.....its what cancels out tehir disadvanatge.Hence stuka,obersoldaten.Jagd isn't even taht powerful or cost effective.And panther certainly isn't.Puma can be said to be cost effective and strong for its price.U want to nerf the powerful OKW units-fine go ahead.But then u will also have to answer teh question..without these units,why does OKW have 2/3rd income?

Again superficial excuses of range and penetration..meaningless stats.Nerf them both..take away these 2 excuses.And fix price at 150.
Or else give jackson like damage and accuracy so it can kill atnsk actually not just penetrate armor and then die or flee due to shit dmg and reload,not to mention accuracy.

Keep in mind kv-1 kills infantry with its price on the kv-1 discussion.And it doesn't miss.

Once its range is same as other allied mediums and penetration is lowered ,sov fanboys like katitof will have no excuse left to say 'its fine for its price'.None of these 2 changes will actually weaken the pantehr in its current state by much..but it will get rid of these superficial 'strengths'-stats on paper that are merely excuses and nothing more.
