Heavy Tank Limit

Jump back to quoted post29 Jun 2015, 13:35 PMWingZero

Sums up my thoughts on this matter. My [options] shouldn't be limited if the opposing player can build 2 heavies.

Again, keep in mind this limitation is for 3 v 3 and 4 v 4 match up were we would see multiple heavies from 1 player, this is not rare. Also in 3 v 3 and 4 v 4s, team players can divide up to mitigate pop cap with OKW. For instance, 1 player goes CAS (infantry heavy), 2nd player will go P4s with Eles and small infantry, 3 support weapons and Panthers and 4th player spams KTs and Obers.

Does the heavy tank limit only affect one tank or the player?

I mean, ISUs and IS-2s are limited at one but could I, for instance, have an ISU and an IS-2 if they were in the same commander?

If so, a limit to KTs and JTs would be pointless because players could still get both out.

You still haven't answered the fact that if heavy limits are supposed to increase medium play; then why does OKW have no medium generalist tank to play with?

Because Relic tried too hard to make OKW faction different from the others, throwing even the basics of WW2 combat like HMGs and medium tanks into doctrines.

Also OKW panther is close to a generalist tank with how much DPS its machineguns have.

Yep. My opinion on this balance change is that while it was done with good intention it missed the mark. It should have been done by doubling or tripling pop cap of the heavy tanks.

Hold it right there, the picture doesn't show one KT and one JagdTiger? I think this is the case that we are looking at, because, you know, patch notes said KTs are limited to ONE at a time, like any other heavy. I know how to read english, wtf?!

The King Tiger is not limited to 1 on the field since it isn't a call in. You will find it missing in the patch note's list of heavies that are affected by the limit change.

Relic did state that they are further evaluating on whether to limit the king tiger as well.

The solution we have now is total fail. Why are we taking a choice away from the players? All options should be available to a player after they have weighed the pros and cons of their decision. This heavy tank limit doesn't even affect all Factions equally. Again, good idea...bad implementation. Want to get your two heavy tanks? Its going to cost you more then just resources but a good part of your pop cap as well.
