the only thing this polls tells me is that forum is infested with axis fanboy

is there some kind of tonnage limit because the panther was almost double the weight of a t34

thats like comparing a panzer IV to an IS-2, which are closer in weight that a t34/panther

and I sometimes think that this forum is infested with narrow-minded Soviet fanboys. Eh, nevermind.

Both tanks, t-34 and Panther were awesome pieces of steel. The fact is that each of those two was better in some PARTICULAR stuff. Like T-34 in production, but Panther had far more better gun and optics.

soviet fanboys? yes, not as many as axis. narrow-minded? no
but really what a suprise that is, soviet mod forum has fans of soviets wow thats so strange and must not be allowed to happen

what i find stranger and a bit disturbing is that soviet mod forum has more axis fans than soviet

RedGuard, could you stop the drama? It's just a poll. Also I find more disturbing that you think that all the users who voted for the Panther are axis fanboys for saying that it's better than T-34.

thats not the reasoning behind my comment, and,
sorry you perceive that as drama I perceive it as a fact. if facts start drama maybe theres something inherently wrong in the situation
if you dont think its odd then I dunno what to tell ya

I voted for the PzIV, Panther maybe is too big to be a medium tank... Its gun sure comes with a balance of accuracy and penetration, a medium amor and the sporty look (I dont know why but I always feel PzIV is a sport tank, like sport car).
I'm drunk now, I'm outranked you in philosophy.

As a part of the Developer team you shouldnt do such comments. When you say that you show clearly that you're a soviet fanboy. It then tells me a lot about the balance of the soviet faction...

Oh common, when you drive a cool sport car (or sport tank :)) do you care about its nationality? When something is cool, it's cool because it's cool that's all.

Yep, take it out in the field and it will brake down or get stuck in mud. Thats why Panther cannot be the best WWII tank. It was too unreliable.
Also III Reich didnt won any major offensive using Panthers and any tank is good when you retreat. :-\

This is just a guess and Im not accusing anyone of doing this but I feel like some people voted for the in game CoH Panther and not the real life Panther, because Paciat is right it was very prone to breakdowns and seems like it was more a Pain than a Panther. But what do I know I wasnt there maybe it was extremely effective when it was actually functioning properly
