Tym, actually that is false information.

Your squads have equivalent health (volks = rifles); however, there are less guys on axis squads, so lets say the P4 kills 2 riflemen, ok, you are down 1/3. Volks lose 2 guys, lose 2/5ths. Or how about grens when you shoot and instantly kill 2 with a sherman (which happens, sherman does the SAME damage as the P4).

No, you don't have to worry about Schreks with the P4 (not that schreks are accurate at long range) but you do have to limit your offensive due to stickies/button insta pwn, RR's and zooks. Not to mention you know any Allied medium tank can kill or nearly kill you, so any little hit you take can knock your tank out of an offensive.

This...

Someone who thinks that the sherman should be equal in price to the P4, give me one reason for why you should think that the sherman should be a tad bit cheaper than the P4.

Just for the sake of being devils advocate. "I think that the sherman should be equally priced as the P4 BUT..."

Come now, consider asymmetric balance. The tanks are not equal because their counters and targets are not equal.

If you cant see it from both sides, then im not interested in reading all of this.

the fact is that the AT capabilities and squad health of axis infantry are higher. even if there are less men, most of the time you aren't going to take out 2 grens in one shot because of cover, accuracy, spread, etc. Can it happen? Yes but u dont base price on what COULD happen, you base it on the norm, and the norm is that allied squads are more likely to lose two men because of squad health.

and who cares if volks and rifles are similar, the main difference is past the "base" infantry, rangers, airborne, all have lower health than Grens and kch. Yes there are stickies but there are fausts, and schrecks for axis oh and crippling mines on their infantry.

oh and panthers, which are non doctrinal, thats one of the major reasons why shermans cost less than p4's.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.
