Rule of 2

That's actually right, that you can call only 1 heavy at once. Not sure, that it should be changed somehow.

But... I see problem with that limit and some medium tanks. Panther, Comet and Churchill - they are not really much different from heavy tanks. Churchill itself is uber-heavy (if we look at HP), Comet performs like little downgraded version of Tiger 1 with seriously buffed range of fire and Panther is really near to be called "Heavy".

And all those "mediums" are not limited at all! What do you think - should they be limited as "medium-heavy" tanks somehow?

P.S. Funny case with KV-series tanks. They all are "heavy", but limited only KV-2. It's not such a big deal, of course, but looks really strange...

The limitation really just forced from one popular meta to making another, which I'm sure was the intention. That they didn't limit Churchills or KV-1s pretty much exemplifies this being flawed logic, but what the hell it changes the game lelic style, right?

All doctrinal units had clear differences in advantages compared to stock units, and almost all of them are either more expensive as compensation, or deliberately sucky but comes earlier and cheaper. Tigers compared to Panthers etc are no different.

If they ninja-changed the game so you could in fact call in unlimited heavies besides King Tiger and Tiger Ace, I'm 99% sure no one would ever notice...nor ever take advantage of it. And before you say "well what's the point then?" I cite their removal of duplicate bulletins: the point is just design decision, nothing more.

Allow heavy vehicles to be built to a maximum number of two instead of one.

You loved so much the Tiger/IS2 stall meta to say that? limiting them by 1 was the best move taken about those units.

No, I've only ever managed to get multiple heavies when I was either winning very well, or it was clearly a move that has it's disadvantages (ie I'd not have the resources to get other units to support them), or to put it more plainly, not playing the game OR losing ground because I or a teammate wanted to hoard resources for a second Tiger...which pu plainly, just means I'm losing.
In the former, it had no bearing on the game' outcome since it was already decided, and the latter it would have required the sort of play that left you without many other units you might need in lieu of a second Tiger or Elefant, almost always a dumb move unless you just wanted to fool around since the enemy was already kicking your ass. Given the cost of a second heavy call-in, you're investing into a tactic that is less likely to work compared to if you went multiple Panzer 4s instead.
