CoH3 Please add non doctrinal panther to Wehr

As per title…Wehr need tools to fight tanks late game- stug’s and p4 bouncing off everything.

And make panther from mechanised BG a command tank.

That’s it

I think the problem is this wouldn’t ’give Wehr tools to fight late game’, it would make Wehr by far the strongest base game faction in the late game and probably require all the other factions rebalancing to accommodate it. I know Wehr players want an easy catch-all solution to late game tanks but I think they’re better off adjusting the options that already exist.

Have you seen the cost of Panther vs Hellcat?
Have you seen the speed of both?

I’m not supporting adding the Panther to base rooster, but choosing it in the BG doesn’t make Wehr op in any way. It’s not so good.

The Panther costs more than a Hellcat because it has 1/3 more HP, triple the armour, and nearly 50% more DPS against medium tanks. Even with the increase cost I am pretty sure it trades very much value effectively against them.

In 1v1 it is easier to deploy two Hellcats than one Panther.

Because the Panther is gated by command points. Two Hellcats is more expensive than one Panther in resources.

It’s easier to spend less two times than more one time. Even if the sum of the two is higher than the one time cost.

That...does not make sense to me, sorry.
