You do know there are only a select few call-in tanks that are above a medium? Even a panther is considered medium armor. To be honest, it shouldn't perform great against heavy tanks to begin with excepting a wall of them. And against the slower heavy tanks (such as the OKW king tiger) the SU85s actually perform quite well because the long sight and range takes advantage of this units slow speed (and once they get vet for the pen boost then they really shine).

I disagree it performs poorly as a TD if used properly. It performs great as a long-range TD. It shouldn't be much stronger as it is if at all because its true strength lies in its range coupled with it's increased sight which allows it to snipe tanks (and sometimes snipe infantry). Pretty much the whole time before WFA this unit was an absolute beast bordering OP. (Anyone else remember the unbeatable SU85 + sniper spam?) However, it is hard to say absolutely atm because the meta is a bit fucked.

I think definitely wait until the call-in meta is fixed before rushing to buff other units that will see a boost in use with this change. Once the meta changes and the battlefield is seeing a different mix of units and it is still lackluster, then consider some buffs but from my experience against other tanks of it's level it performs well.
