thoughts on comet tank?

[we are number one]

I think its the most unbalanced unit in the game non doctrinal has more armor then a panther for some reason can snipe infantry and tanks from long range like ısu (seriously tho why did they make comet effective against both infantry and tanks meanwhile costing only 175 fuel) it has white phosphrous that it can throw at team weapons and blobs especially anti tank guns are very vulnerable to this which it can follow up with throwing a grenade by opening up its hatch it also gets a blitzkrieg ability
how can we balance it? well first of all it has way too many abilities some of them needs to be removed and lessen its abilitiy to deal with infantry or just downgrade its armor it shouldnt be more then a panther and make it more of a anti tank specialist a jack of all trades unit in coh2 shouldnt exist it promotes brainless gameplay wish there was a balance team that can do this :(

If you ask me, it'd be mainly AOE and accuracy of the thing.
Its damage at max AOE is 32 (T-34-85 does 8), with larger coverage than easy eight (2.5 to E8's 2). This equates to greater HP pool depletion than any premium medium except maybe T-34-85 and P4 variants with larger distance from ground zero of the shell to kill a model (0.96 for comet, 1.11 for T-34-85, 1.13 for P4). That's where the BS hits and wipes come from. Combined with the higher accuracy than any generalist tanks and vet bonus and it's overkill. Only E8 has any better scatter and most medium tanks has no accuracy bonus from veterancy, including panther (only Sherman variants and P4J have it).
As for abilities, disregarding the bug (i think) of smoke & willy pete overlap, do we really need manual grenade for comet? It has vet 3 grenade on auto, so why bother having it?

It is pretty pricey and slow for a late game unit though.

If I say balance, I would say make it a Panther clone,
Currently comet is like worse Panther, only offset by better utility and somewhat better anti infantry.

Not as much as Cromwell or T-34. Same level as Easy 8.
If manually attack ground for better accuracy, Micro Tax.

Comet has better kill AoE than Cromwell (0.96 for comet, 0.88 for Cromwell). Among all premium medium, only T-34-85 has better, at 1.11.
Topping all that is how comet has accuracy bonus from veterancy, it becomes ridiculous.
