When i meant tank i meant tanks that can do anti armor duty as well....not support vehicles.Ones u can use as ur frontline armoured unit.

Thats t-34/85,M4C sherman,kv-2,is-2,kv-1.
Among these only kv-1 is useless,kv-2 is not as useful as the others.
Is-2 is hardly useless ,can beat every ostheer tank other than tiger and with coming buff even that possibly.

As for ostheer only option is tiger.Puma is not a tank and not a serious lategame option.

''due to the nature of Ostheer, call ins are supplement to your army, not replacing them like Soviet so Ostheer is more flexible when it comes to commander choice''

Well thats no longer the case.There is no real ostheer stock armor to supplement...pz 4 has drunk gunner and panther is inaccesible.So right now ostheer just as dependant on call ins.If only panther was usable pricewise then this point wold be valid.

the thing i dont get is why the double call t34/85 is available at 9 cp altough its power/cost is compareable to the tiger/is2 call in. if they came at the same cp i think it might be a tad "fairer". imo high impact/cost call ins should be availabe at roughly the same time

that would only leave the sherman call in to be quite early, which imo is fine

Panther will be compared to call ins because soviets are more reliant on them.
Germans have 1 turreted call in tank.Soviets have 5.(not taking into acc the 2 tank destroyers isu/ele)
So obviously soviet late game armor is largely represented by call ins.While germans are heavily dependant on t4.So u can't ignore the balance between them at all.Without panther being balanced with soviet call ins..germans only have tiger left for lategame...and that is precisely the situation we are in now.

I am not a blobbing fan. I think that the infantry has its normal place in COH2. On the contrary, in vCOH blobbing was exagerating, and tanks being eaten by infantry blobs while inflicting nearly zero casualities was a little unrealistic. Any idiot could win if he blobbed enough with paras, rangers, british infantry + officer or grenadiers. Combined arms principle was not so obvious.
