Said the 4vs4 only player.
And when I play Allies, Panthers are no deal. Mark target, drive in, win.
Mine? Dead Panther. Simply because it is weaker than every other medium tank in the game for cost bar the T-34/76 without the frontal armor to utilize because of the sheer lack of rof.
Pretty much every tank is dead when it hits a mine. And what tank has more risk of hitting a mine? The 320 front armor tank that auto-pens enemy mediums from 50 range, or the low-front armor tanks with only 40 range and low penetration? Spoiler alert: it's the second one.
Panthers are great because you can force enemies to fight you on your terms. You have the range, speed, and armor advantage. It's not the panthers fault if you keep getting it flanked by enemy mediums.
