I was saying the type of vet bonus allies tanks got, not all in one. These are very useful in its roles, the armor theme of Axis is poor now.

Armor skirts are no use if TD scale/have ability to completely ignore it.
Armor skirts are no use if med tank spam can compleletly ignore the 'rear'
The 2 sides of medal are no longer balance imo.

Like a suggestion made, to restore vet armor skirts rear to 120, at least it stops max range shots from med tanks.

I think Axis speed is ok, but at least a moving accuracy vet, since the need to dive in and out against TD is important now.

If I understand you correctly, you think the base armor of Axis tanks is generally fine while the armor vet bonus is either not large enough or the Allied pen bonus is too large.
The thing is: Why should Axis tanks become better "tanks" (= eat more shots) while Allied TDs should not become better TDs? Not sure about the vet bonus percentages though.
For game balance reasons, I think a vetted Panther should be semi-reliably penned by a medium tank, so that a Panther can't steamroll the enemy if the enemy lost his TD (and it's relatively easy to outplay a single AT gut). Also, all TDs must be punished for being flanked, even by smaller tanks.
Also, running a TD into a TD should not be efficient for either side. TDs are best countered by AT guns.


To the StuG discussion:
Why not give it Blitzkrieg with vet or T4?
The problem currently is that the Stug gets easily wiped and that it does not quite have the mobility it needs to find rear shots at heavily armored vehicles. Blitzkrieg would help with both of that.

StuG and JP are a testimony too how much Brits changed the game. Axis usually did not face heavy armor, because standard tanks of Soviets and USF are relatively light. So these two units worked well against all allied tanks, and Panther was only needed as a heavy brawler and break through unit.
For allies, only Brits can field heavily armored tanks which makes team games more difficult since your JPIV might work or not, depending which enemy your currently face in that moment.
On the other hand, a JP4 has a decent 70% pen-rate against a churchill and drops to about 50 % vs real heavy tanks like pershing and IS-2. If your enemy goes for a ~230 fuel unit, I think it should be alright to build a 185 fuel Panther.
StuG and JP4 currently have the role of fighting off mediums (and the JP4 also can fight off other TDs), which they are actually pretty good at. I think the split is fine, since Axis are the only two factions who two TDs. Specializing them in one cheaper alternative fighting off mediums and the other costly alternative fighting off heavies is a good thing.
