New patch, new idea.

Strictly speaking of how the jackson had gotten a 200 damage profile for a huge pen buff. It leads me to think that the is2 and tiger should also get the 200 damage profile to help differentiate them considering their gun size. Is2 in general with 160 damage does not seem fitting at all. Aside from the problems relating to call in spam or whether jackson is now OP. Do you think this is a good idea? If not could this perhaps be balanced if call ins were tied to t3 or t4?

Also with blitz nerf plz give tiger S-mine launcher...

This would only make heavies more viable, regardless of ties to tech or not.

It would need "alot" of tweaks to make it work. We had already a high damage slow rof IS2 and it was consider bad at that point.

the other issue with long ass reloads is inaccuracy; anything with a long reload needs to have higher than normal accuracy, particularly at long range. entirely doable though.

i'm very weary of power creep on heavies; we already have many examples of them being too cost effective against mediums.

As for accuracy, I'm not sure it would be a good idea, the is2s problem scatter definitely, but accuracy I don't think is necessary. Binding call ins to teching would surely take away them being cost effective right? I'm personally interested in making t34/76s cost 90 fuel and panzer4s getting 130 pen. But thats an entirely different matter.

For a change like this to be implemented it would require changes to the call in sytem as well as tweaking of the medium tanks.

I think buffing medium armor play is the way to go instead of Heavy armor buffs. I personally think COH2 franchise need to highlight medium armor play more instead of attractive/cost efficient heavies that perform really well.

you left out the Panther alex. Also there arent really more medium Tank from Germany that are viable in the games setting.....

In game the Panther isn't a medium tank. It costs almost as much as a heavy and has the same amount of armor.

There are a buttload of mediums not represented in game. The Panzer III, the various assault guns that were widely used.

i think it is a good idea. however there would be criticism from players who get owned with the 240 damage, or players who complain that they want consistency over high damage + slow reload.
