[may preview] cromwell's size nerf

AEC, LMG tommies, AT guns, insane damaging and long range vet 1 vekers. I dont quite understand how you understood the meaning of "support" in my post.

By support I meant combined arms. Right now cromwell's taget size makes it really forging early on, in this case you can pretty much YOLO early enemy tanks even if there are AT gun (with flanking ofcouse), and usually enemy tanks and AT would miss 1-2 shots which is critical considering cromwell's speed. Same with inf AT weaponary.

With new target size you wont be able to just YOLO enemy kill-and-run it, drive over AT inf and go away with it.

You need combined arms to support cromwells push. Thats the case. Main problem with correct cromwell is that it one-tank-army when it hits the field for the firts time.

IMO since in this patch Axis heavy play has become less powerful one should also rebalance medium Tank balance.

That has not only to do with Cromwell but with most allied medium tanks. PZIV imo are the least cost efficient tanks...

Make it more expensive then and leave it as it is, fine. There are not a single reson why cromwell should be better then PIV and cost less.

axis medium tank was left virtually untouched. In fact, the ost tech got a cost deduction, making it easier to field stuff like the panther and panzer4. Don't forget the buff to the brummbar as well.

Churchill was actually a very good tank if it was designed for WWI but pretty lousy for WWII. But that has little impact in the game. I agree with most of the the other points. I simply don't see how people can complain about the PZIV when Crom is actually more cost efficient...

I do not understand why Cromwells are considered Sherman size now.

Thats like ignoring a tank has sloped armour.

It had the best armour in the war and won the African front for the British, Tigers weren't worth shit against it. It was even used post-war.
