can't inf just park behind cover, the damage is from the mg after all even yellow cover cut it by half already ? And if we got by flanking wouldn't that be pretty much universal
Not if you're up close and pushing. Below range 10 accuracy penalty against cover is negated.
what u said was true, with high armor and pen it could easily deal with heavy tank, now that it has much less armor the Pershing beats it, same for is 2, obv if u stay at range u can win but u said panther engaging not constantly kiting
Except pershing doesn't beat it unless vetted and bit lucky.
Engaging doesn't mean ramming your unit against opposing unit, it means participating in combat against it, how well its positioned during engagement is 100% up to your ability.
Kiting is also form of engagement, the one that benefits you while leaving opponent at disadvantage.
BTW since u say it beats AT infantry i tested it, put 2 RE with PIAT vs a panther in open field first, and they won with 3 man remaining, while in cover they lost only 2 man, so stop with the meme that panther AI is the best, and panther has 0.5 moving accuracy so the mgs get half the dps while moving while the infantry will get the job done especially if it snares it while u try to move them in like u said
Please stop with vacuum bullshit tests that couldn't be further from the reality of actual skirmish.
That kind of situation will never happen in game, unless you'll get matched up in 1v1 against ullu, which would be impossible as its impossible to match 2 axis factions against each other.
