Comet vs Sherman Firefly

[AbhMkh]

Which one of the twp above should be more useful and when?

I've noticed the following characteristics about the comet

1. Better armor

2. Greater Fire Rate


However the Firefly has range  to its advantage

Which one of the two do you think is more useful and when??


I was hoping a cheaper TD for the brits like the archer or the achilles , the cost of comet and firefly remains the same



hence there is a contest between the combat characteristics..

if your attacking id say the comet is better , but firefly for defending especially if you dig it in .

+1

+1 indeed!

[GodlikeDennis]

Agree with the others. Comet for offense, firefly for defense.

[GreenApple]

Two Firefly's are able to kill all enemy tanks as Kingtiger and Jagdpanther. Keep off the enemy tank range, your Firefly will win. Okey it requires much attention. But the Coment can't.

[GodlikeDennis]

Comet is much better against infantry though. Makes it more useful. Against most tanks the comet fares well anyway.

[Strayker]

True. Comet has better accuracy against infrantry, that makes it something between Cromwell and Firefly. It has good damage vs both infantry and vehicles, though it doesnt packs a punch of a Firefly nor it has its range. Still i think its a fine addition to Brits.

[AbhMkh]

OK let me re frame my question here , since we can have only one of them which one would you choose

You see comet is more of a meele tank whereas firefly packs the same punch at range , but it comes with lot of defects too , like slower reload speed

A firefly and a comet both can be used for offence , you just have to use them in different ways , whoever thinks that the firefly functions as an AT gun in hull down is miserably mistaken , use a 17 pounder emplacement for defense , an over repaired 17 pounder firing AP shells, can rip apart a KT or a JP , besides the weaker german armor 

[GodlikeDennis]

Comet still has excellent range.

[AbhMkh]

Yes its good , but nothing as compared to firefly or marder and the AT guns

[Strayker]

OK let me re frame my question here , since we can have only one of them which one would you choose

Based on who is my opponent i will choose. If it is Wehrmacht which has powerful late-game tanks and doesnt rally much on infantry ill choose Firefly. Against PE ill choose Comet, because it can destroy both infantry and vehicles and PE has plenty of both.

[AbhMkh]

Thts a wise decision , i wish if brits had a cheaper tank destroyer

[Strayker]

Well you had a good point with that Archer and/or Achilles...they are both good tank destroyers and certainly they should be cheaper than firefly. But the problem with Brits is they have so few units, that there is problem what unit to replace. Anyway i think that three Churchills are too much...one of them could be replaced by one of these two tank destroyers.

[AbhMkh]

No these should be build able units , lets see wht happens in the future
