1) Ostheer panther has high tech and high cost
2) Panther has little AI and can be countered by ATGs or TDs or even swarmed by mediums
3) Panther has very low rear armor and can be penetrated by mediums even when vet 2
4) Allied mediums have extra utility like smoke rounds, ram, extended vision, HE rounds
5) Allied premium, heavies and super heavies can put fight vs a Panther (they might not be to 1v1 but they can damage it and fight when supported)
6) As I have pointed allies have little reason to built medium since they can do with up-gunned infatry and TDs
7) You missed my point the part you quoted I mentioned "allied premium, heavies and super heavier appear" Panther is not any of those vehicles.
PzIV H for instance that is premium for Ostheer does not make allied mediums obsolete.
1) all allied premiums also require the highest level of tech
2) which allied premium medium will stand against AT guns and TDs? or multiple mediums for that matter
3)again, which allied premium medium is able to drive in backwayrds and deflect rounds? some cant even deflect rounds FRONTALLY
4) and the panther has 50 range. ill trade ram on my 85 for 50 range....
6) put up a fight but eventually lose. the panther has mobility, durability and range but most of all it has accessibility. you CANNOT play as the axis without having athe option to build a panther.
7) hardly obsolete. its still got great AI and armour and will keep allied mediums from maurading. and its AI isnt anything underwhelming either.
