you flank shoot at the panther

best case scenario, one killed by ammo rack

normal case 1/2 crew member dead

worse nothing happen even if you pen

Not always possible, particularly on invasion maps or for greyzoned panthers

where flanking is possible, it’s possible with whatever you’ve got, though I’d argue the M10 is the worst at it. M8 HEAT shreds anything on a good hit, and anything Allies has can pen the side of a panther.

It wasn’t really ever a good argument against the Jumbo being OP, either. Yeah, you can flank it, but not always, and not on every map. Both tanks were mistakes.

M10 does, M8 doesn’t. What I don’t know is if the APCBC on the M10 is the M62 APCBC/HE-T, cuz if it’s not, the ammo the tank has isn’t one it ever had IRL.

i was reffering to m5 and m4

Bang on. When my wife and I were playing on D-Day and (I for the life of me can’t remember the other Beach head one) they would just park the Jumbos in the Grey, and there was literally nothing you could do except bomb it. And unfortunately there were lots of times when the plane controls were really wonky to make that a tough sell. Once I got the JU188 it was fairly easy to nuke one, but I hate playing as sky cancer.

it was more of a reminder how the things were before panther.

kind of disagree here as its perfectly normal to get better equipment as you progress further.
Also you can still make them earlier tanks viable even if they aint a match against higher tier tanks head on. Give them more speed / turret rotation and they are still good tanks against inf, maybe even better.

M1919A6 should have been added at the launch of the campaign in my opinion. .30 is a quite iconic weapon.
About the rest of the weapons, I don’t like them but probably I’m biased.

With all this talking I had a brain moment.
Make it so the Tanks have a grey area in their deployment zone. Force them to have to enter the enemies playable zone. Its not the best fix, but I bet they could implement it easily and quickly.
Prevents the camping, allows the flanking.

The only time a Tank really would ‘camp’ would be assault guns firing with support infantry in front.
Most of the time they were breakthrough and went ahead of infantry.

Would be interesting to try.

Yeah, I’m sure. And BAR is better than MGs. Playing both factions.
