I'd argue that given the thing is made of paper(it had 108mm of frontal armor, for comparison, Tiger had 120mm and P4 had 88mm) as well as the lack of effective means for USF to damage engines reliably(RAT nades can miss, no mines outside of M20) or even other armor to screen/spot for it effectively.

While Jackson is effective, I'd much rather use panther for its survivability(which is greatly underestimated in this thread, given tank smoke and return of warp engines).

It also has much, much more pen and 10 more range than the KV-1.

The panther is potent mix of traits. It has the armour of a low end heavy, the range of a TD, the HP pool of a heavy end medium tank and the usual german option for pintle MG's.


The buff to small arms has made the panther able to do something, at least, for AI- but it remains a great anti-tank option against mediums and TD's- and can also weather some infantry based AT in the process, which the puma simply can't do.

Pumas remain so good because of how cripplingly amazingly god tier Target Weak Point/Aimed shot are, as abilities. It's guard buttoning you can't interrupt and doesn't need a squishy infantry squad standing next to the tank to use.

Jagds are the usual turretless TD trade of firepower for mobility and flank death.

But panthers already give you everything you need to completely mop up medium armour. Fastest, heaviest armoured medium with great range- it's all you need to deal with any number of T-34/76. Allowing that firepower to come cheaper would invariably start pushing us back towards the good old days of beta panther rolling, which I certainly wouldn't want anyone to suffer through.

It could probably use a small accuracy buff to make the most of the low rate of fire, of course. A reduction on the penalty for moving would probably serve it best. After that, it's probably good where it is; a small AI buff probably wouldn't hurt make the cost a little more justified, I guess.

I'm rank 10 at soviet 2v2, below rank 50 at OKW and USF, and that's not good enough for you?

The only fraction I don't play is Ost, because it bores me to tears since the beta.

I offer balance based on my 2v2 observations. I enjoy 4v4. Good for me.

But as I said- OKW can have whichever buildings they want up fairly quickly. Their economy is not so doomed you can't have what you want- and the point is you're not locked into a linear progression of vehicles. You have got the freedom to pick and choose which armour you want and in what order, rather than have the soviet locking of tiers or ost linear progression. USF is similar, but has less viable vehicle options.

Just be aware you get limited vehicles. As I said.
