If anything, Soviet tanks (with their bigger and more reliable engines on the whole) should get Blitz.
Panther would be the exception to this, but everything else...
Panzer IV and T-34 weighed roughly the same.
The T-34 had a 500 HP engine with wide tracks.
Panzer IV had a 300 HP engine with thin tracks.
It's a shame that the classic (and incorrect) image of German armour of 1944 has infiltrated the game...
Agreed. But Relic can't give the Red Army, nor the USA Armed forces good tanks otherwise all the german fanboys will start crying and we'll never hear the end of it seeing they are stuck on their delusional bigotry of german tank superiority.
Still don't get why people called the old blitzkrieg useless, going from 0 to Full speed in 1 sec while reducing your target size did save your panzers if used properly. Maybe most of the playerbase did not adapt to the new mechanic and used it reactively instead of proactively.
Personally I would lean for the acceleration bonus, the target size decrease and +10% increased max speed. However the speed buff should only kick in if moving forward and not in reverse.
The Ostheer already has the fastest medium/heavy tank in the game with the Panther, PIVs are just a bit slower than the T-34/76s, so they don't need a 50% increase in speed while blitzing.
I can just catch Jacksons and wreck them with panthers blitzing every single time. They stand no chance due to their frail armour, speed and range was the only thing that gave them an edge. But Blitz counters them hard. It's similar against SU-85s.
