RE: What is the most overrated/underrated unit in CM
Underrated: Shermans. Laugh if you want, but I love these babies. Doesn't matter what year or what kind. They're fast, have a good HE loadout, and because they're not the Russian or German uber-tank, you've got to learn good AFV tactics to succeed with them. Idon't love them because they can blow everything away on the map, but because using them often teaches you how to be a good tank commander.
Overrated: The so-called "uber-tank". Whether it's KV-I's early war or King Tigers late war, relying too much on these guys (especially in QBs) just teaches you to use terrible AFV tactics. This is why I don't play QB's too much; any moron can ask for an unrestricted game and buy a infantry company and a platoon of King Tigers, but I think it takes real skill to get a play scenario after scenario with a random mix of units, and succeed time and time again. I salute those guys on The Blitz.
