British Tanks vs German Tanks

[Olm70]

British tanks are completely outgunned by German tanks in Hell Let Loose. Panther is too OP, destroys the Sherman Firefly with 2 hits and the Cromwell with 1 hit... what's the point of the measurement?

No bow gun on the Firefly/Tetrarch either.

Very little interest in historical accuracy otherwise, but this, they got right.

I get the Firefly being reasonably iconic, and accept no bow gun, so long as the main gun is as devastating as it was - but the tetrarch is a super strange choice when the UK had better and more prolific light armor.

Also, given there is only one heavy armor choice, the Firefly is in a supremely vulnerable spot when both german heavies can kill it easily, and infantry can stalk without fear of the driver's point defense. Having another British heavy infantry support option to balance with the Firefly, Churchhill etc, would have given much better options, as well as much better balance.

For now, sadly, the British armor (and faction as a whole) just kind of pales in comparison to the other two.

It's completely normal for a heavy to 2 shot another heavy (Or 1 shot a medium). A Jumbo 76 will 2 shot a Panther, just as a Panther would 2 shot a Firefly, this has not changed with the new update. Also keep in mind that the Firefly also has a 6 second reload, which is 2 seconds faster than the Tiger. This makes it almost an equal to the Panther, which also has a 6 second reload.

adding british should not have been done without first adding the Stug/Stuh 42 and balancing the Panther and Tiger, they should be extremely dangerous, but as it stands they are way too common, also why no churchill >:(

British plot armour needed.

That's because British tanks suck.

Havent played Alamein yet, dont say that there are Panthers around on battlefield. Or even Fireflys
