When engines are damaged. they are literally on fire.

should the fire do damage to the vehicle over time?

definitely not! damaged engine is already extremely bad, destroyed engine is basically dead tank. Why it should be even worse?

Imagine how strong at nades and panzerfausts become.

Recently a lot of threads suggest that tanks should be removed from the game with all the penalties people want to have on them; fuel upkeep, damage over time on engine crits and no auto fire for heavy tanks.

What we want are tanks that accentuate combat, not dominate it entirely.

If they are going to do that they better make it so ONE faust or AT grenade won't blow up a King Tiger or IS-2 engine.

molotovs could do that, for example, throw molotov onto king tiger = dead.

Suddenly, molotovs become the most cost effective upgrade in the game. Able to oneshot all heavy tanks.

Kill two birds with one stone, make conscripts scale better and make soviets less reliant on doctrines MVGame.

Since when is 'we' the voice of everyone?

At nades are already incredibly strong, one baseline infantry unit can cripple a tank as it is, imo if they were any better it would just be silly.

Since there is a good dose of common sense in that sentence.

edit:
But the OPs idea is still a horrible one.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

Yes I think we can all agree that some heavy units are too strong right now. But I think we can also all agree that this is the wrong fix.

Tanks aside, imagine how brutal this would be against light vehicles. 1 AT nade on a 222 = better pray you had Pioneers babysitting it. Many light vehicles are already about as fragile as they can afford to be.
