The reason for this poll, is due to the 'realism' maps we are beginning to see. Panthers are being put in instead of Tigers (due to historical accounts and 'to give the Russians a fighting chance') where as the map was much more balanced in its original state!
This isn't about how the Devs have decided to model the tanks in-game cos I think they are just fine!
Now there are 2 main reasons why I would choose the Panther over a Tiger. Those are faster traverse speed and faster cross-country speed! I can angle a tiger just fine so the better, sloped armour isn't a major factor for me!
But playing as a Russian tanker, being IS2 or T34, I personally dread meeting a Panther! It takes a much more skilled commander to dominate with a Tiger, then it does with a Panther and I have to suddenly turn into a better tactician if I have any chance in beating it! I normally end the skirmish by driving off to kill a lesser tank!
So how do you feel?
