As WiFiDI mentioned - make the counters really counter blobs. Make MG42 and 34 a real crowd control weapons. MG42 should be buffed and MG34 should be at the level of current MG42 maybe slightly weaker.
Maxim is a decent crowd control weapon already and US got different ways of dealing with weapon platforms.
As I said I don't have problems with 2 infantry squads flanking my HMG, it's only when they just walk straight into it, up front, in the middle of firing arc and they still are able to overwhelm it, despite being suppressed. This shouldn't have happened.
Same goes for OKW Kubelwagon. It's still too fragile, despite recent HP buff. Dies too easily when focused and suppression doesn't matter as it's a large target.

I get that Relic is from Canada but it is time to have a balanced game and currently we are far from it. US have such an advantage early game it's nearly impossible to came on top. EVERY single game I won against them was with my VP points dropping bellow 100 and if I managed to work may way back I was able to push them back and win the game. I don't know if it was intended this way or not but I don't like it at all because despite common opinion US late game isn't that bad. In fact M36 can deal with everything Germany can field. It is fragile but it delivers a punch. The only problem could be a Tiger but M36 + few Shermans should be enough.

I find jagdpanzer4 to be too vulnerable to flanks and not very effective against heavies.

Pro-soviet agenda in disguise.

Because an IS2 unsupported is2 easy to come by eh.

They are always backed by Zis or other tanks or cons

Cut the crap Vetlolcake. I play OKW almost exclusively recently.

I did the same thing with a puma i dont need a panther to do that.

Yes but latter in the game Puma looses its reliability quite heavily. Especially when you deal with more targets than one. Panther allows me to take 2-3 T-34 at once. Of course I have to be clever about it and keep my distance + some infantry support but that's just reasonable approach.

Am I the only one that really likes how Panther was tailored recently?
I won't comment on price as I don't know if it's too costly or not, play mostly OKW recently, but when you start to use it to exploit its strengths it does get the job done even against far more superior tanks like IS-2. On good terrain Panther is actually able to circle strafe IS-2 turret.
With one of the war spoils OKW commanders you get fire shell that boosts dmg by quite a lot.
Even as OH you can stale game for a while with PaKs as your AT to be able to field Panther.

I'd say Rifles with M1919 will always be better unit than Obersoldaten. Especially in defensive stance. You can simply negate any infantry.
