- The Stug scales a bit too well for the late-gameAny nerf to the StuG will render it useless again.
The Panzer IV is at a good place and only needs minor adjustments. It should be the choice if you want a jack of all trades that can hold off a tank and kill infantry but doesn´t excell at it. When the game starts revolving around bigger tanks like T-34/85s, Easy Eights, Comets etc. that´s where the Panther comes to play.
But the Panther is currently shit. So unless the Panther does get a huge buff, I don´t see why the StuG should be nerfed. Also having the StuG at 50 range doesn´t help it being an effective unit. The only saving grace is the high rate of fire. Also it´s a glass cannon. Lategame it gets pretty much owned by one single AT gun/ (well microed) TD.
