Heavy Tank Limit

I often wonder why more OKW players don't use the medium tank commander? Does not seem like a terrible one. If they gave you a medium tank Alex it would just be more burning panzers and food for my shermans kappa.

Replace the puma with the pIVJ and I am sure no one will bat an eyelid to your multiple is2s. Because by the time it will be on the field the mediums would be vetted. I would much rather charge allies with ptrs or bazookas at the side of a tiger than any infantry you want to pick at the side of soviet heavies with a dshka up top and a molotov on the way.

Elite Armored is garbage for a bunch of reasons;

-Emergency repair is bugged and can cause your tank to get decrewed every time it takes damage

-HEAT shells are the wrong type of shell and are easy to avoid

-PIV Ausf J's are just worse PIV's for almost the cost of a KT anyway. (At 210 for two they are 105 each but with the fuel penalty cost as much as an Ost PIV anyway). Also nobody wants 2 PIV's at 9 CP

-Panzer Commander is expensive and doesn't really do much other than look cool and call in extremely slow artillery barrages.

Because medium tank at 8-9 minute is such AWESOME idea.

Why won't we put sherman to LT tier and T34 to T2 as well?

I agree that Elite armor is garbage, but OKW does have a medium, the Panther, it's just that it is a really expensive medium given the fuel penalty. It doesn't matter much in a 3 or 4 but in a 1v1 it means that it comes really late, and you always have to chose between JP4 (or Puma if you went mechanized) or being vulnerable for a long time if you're waiting to build Schwerer and Panther.

It pains me to agree with Alex but yeah....this commander needs some love mostly by a cost reduction to the call in pair and bug fixes.

Alpha change this sucka. The tank commander went full commando.
