Panzers in city hexes

I'd clearly vote against preplacing too many (if any at all) Panzers in city hexes. They look good but they are poor fighters. 
By now, sometimes I dont even need suppression to do devastating damage. Experience and overstrength are the keys. But I simply dont feel we should attack those Panzers at their close defense.
Historical it is true that the Red Army often dug in Panzers for pure defending purposes (Operation Citadel comes first to my mind) but I doubt if we can use that as analogy in PzC. Place the Panzers in clear terrain and they are more fearsome. Of course the AI might move them back in the city hexes buth then it shall be.
