Irony there being that Ram was nerfed and value redistributed, as a result of Sov whine.
Ram used to be a fantastic cost-efficient equalizer vs T3 grade armor.
Goes to show you need to be careful what you whine about enmasse, cos younmight like the alternative even less.
Because blinders clearly do not allow you to see the past-its germans who whined and cried about the ram.
Soviets wanted to have a tank that would be able to actually fight other tanks, because there is enough AI within the faction.
What we ended up with?
No ram.
No stock generalist tank able to fight armor cost effectively.
No stock generalist tank able to fight infantry cost effectively(thanks to AoE profile adjustments and reload time increase)
Killing the doctrine supporting T34s by making T34s not affordable when you pick the doctrine.
Broken vet bonuses on T34 and KV tanks which means they have NO scalability with vet as bonuses it provides are low and inefficient compared to axis armor vet.
Did I missed something?
But hey, the even more delayed(by old T3 cost changes) M5 quad now shoots bullets instead of smoke tracers!
T34 used to be ram wagon only.
Now it doesn't have a role. If you see T34/76, you know you already have won.
