Same here, much superior tank that can easily take out both types of units that can counter it.  Fear the infantry spam to overwhelm it! XD

It's frustratingly funny when I get my officer ran over and then the same tank that runs that over runs into my mine which my sniper is standing on.  It's weird cause sometimes when I have my sniper and officers running near each other, they seem to mess up each other's pathings.

Other than that, I can't remember having lost a sniper in awhile.  If you wanna see how my officers (notice the plural) are doing check the leaderboards  Cool

I find it funny that one of the best solutions to killing a sniper is to direct an entire artillery barrage near his last known position.

Oh well, if the US army right now calls in AC-130, Apache, F-15, F-16, A-10, Predator, Reaper support versus any group of fighters shooting a gun in the general direction of US troops then it isn't too far off for WW2 howitzers to target snipers Shocked

Panther accuracy versus tp_infantry :
0.6

If the infantry is moving :

0.6*0.5=0.3

If the panther itself is moving, multiply it by 0.75
It has 100 percent base accuracy at 0-35 range.
85 percent base accuracy at 35-47.5 range.

So, at the very worst occasion of shooting a moving infantry man with a moving panther at maximum range :

0.6*0.5*0.75*0.85 = 0.19

In other words - people underestimate the panther's ability of shooting infantry - it is VERY accurate against infantry, and I generaly use it as a reliable, hard-to-kill sniper, personally.

For comparison, this is the accuracy of a firefly :
0.2 base against infantry.
0.5 further if the infantry is moving.
0.75 further if the firefly is moving.
0.85 at long range.

So, at the very worst occasion :
0.2*0.5*0.75*0.85 = 0.06

In other words : the firefly is 3 times less accurate against infantry than the panther.
