Heavy tanks - easy use

Jump back to quoted post28 Sep 2014, 07:56 AMMr. Someguy

Expanding on what I said earlier, fuel upkeep shouldn't effect medium or light tanks. I feel there should be 3 stages of fuel upkeep:

Medium-Heavy:
A moderate penalty for advantaged-but-not-quite-heavy tanks. These include the Kliment Voroshilov and Panther tanks.

Heavy:
A hefty penalty for the standard heavy tanks, this prevents you from fielding too many and helps keep inferior medium tanks relevant by allowing the enemy to replace losses or expand before you call in more heavies.

Super-Heavy:
The highest penalty for the massive Jagdtiger and Tiger II, the penalty on these units will make it difficult to get even a Luchs. Use them wisely.

Fuel penalty for light vehicles is a terrible idea, no one will go for a scoutcar if that delays your p4..

Heavies need more realistic acceleration etc. this will make players think more about how to position them.
Also will help to point out speed differences between:

Tiger
King Tiger
IS 2
etc.

It should be no problem they have auto fire. The problem should more be how to position them, as you you are allowed to park a tiger backwards in a house the rear armour component has been made obsolete.

Now rear armour is quite strong.

The problem with the whole game is that also Maps are poorly designed and the way how Heavies despite a lower speed can crush more objects.

I keep saying it we need a major rework to increase playability and realism

nope, heavies are as good as they are, no need for radical changes.

real problem are weak allied AT and stupidly thick KT frontal armour. jadgtiger is stupid but essential as long as isu152 stays in game.

Fuel upkeep is interesting but it wont solve the issue that as soon as heavies such as the KT roll out its gg, the armor on these things makes stock units useless as they rarely penetrate and even if they do the damage is negligible.

Let me be clear about one thing, heavies are not good as they are in their current state. At least that is my opinion.
And I'm not only talking about heavies itself, but also about how they are being called in, their impact on the game, ...

I'm really bored of the "create blob" and hold out for heavies meta that's currently around.
