but all maps have the same number of points.
first of all, you need to stop with the hyperbole if you want to have a real discussion. even IF what you just said was true (its not), removing 1 fuel point wont help anything. having only 1 fuel point would make the game extremely boring. right now, when a team camps a fuel point, you can focus on the other. your suggestion would make that impossible.
whoever took the fuel first would just build defenses and camp, the other team would be forced to keep attacking a heavily fortified area if they dont want a significant fuel disadvantage.
again, hyperbole. you shouldnt be losing jacksons to schrecks. how are su85s able to do something, but jacksons arent?
All maps don't have the same number of strategic points :
Steppes = 11 normal +2 fuel + 2 mun. =
15 points (13 producing fuel)
City 17 = 9 normal +2 fuel + 2 mun. =
13 points (11 producing fuel)
Effect on removing 1 unit of fuel production applied on all points with a fuel income :
Normal point produce = 3 fuel/minute
Fuel point produce = 7 fuel/minute
Mun. point produce = 0 fuel/minute
Fuel production normal rate:
Steppes = 11 normal x 3 + 2 x 7 fuel + 2 x 0 mun. =
47/minute.
City 17= 9 normal x 3 + 2 x 7 fuel + 2 x 0 mun. =
41/minute.
For a 25 minutes game this equal : 25 min. x 47 =
1175 total fuel.(Steppes)
" : 25 min. x 41 =
1075 total fuel.(City 17)
For a 50 minutes game this equal : 50 min. x 47 =
2350 total fuel.(Steppes)
" : 50 min. x 41 =
2150 total fuel.(City 17)
Fuel production reduced rate (-1 fuel/strat. point):
Steppes = 11 normal x 2 + 2 x 6 fuel + 2 x 0 mun. =
34/minute.
City 17= 9 normal x 2 + 2 x 6 fuel + 2 x 0 mun. =
30/minute.
For a 25 minutes game this equal : 25 min.x 34 =
850 total fuel.(Steppes)
" : 25 min.x 30 =
750 total fuel.(City 17)
For a 50 minutes game this equal : 50 min.x 34 =
1700 total fuel.(Steppes)
" : 50 min.x 30 =
1500 total fuel.(City 17)
Steppes : (Absolute fuel reduction)
25 min game : 1175 fuel - 850 fuel = 325 fuel
50 min game : 2350 fuel - 1700 fuel = 650 fuel
City 17 : (Absolute fuel reduction)
25 min game : 1075 fuel - 750 fuel = 325 fuel
50 min game : 2150 fuel - 1500 fuel = 650 fuel
Result it mean only 1 or 2 less tank... is it enough to make a difference ? maybe not.
Now let's compare both of those tanks destroyer :
M-36 Jackson :
Su-85 :
As we can see the Su-85 is (with the exception of being slower) is better at surviving panzershreks and is a lot better overall.
Maybe reducing all fuel producing points by 1 point on the largest 6-8 maps are not enough (see above. So Relic will have to see. But it think it worth a test.
Thanks for your comments.
