Didn't know why they needed it though. Before the change, they died fast regardless of being in cover or not.

Nondoc pershing? nondoc KT? I WANT NONDOC IS2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Appealing

1. Can play with many friends
2. Bigger maps
3. I enjoy the scale of the battles. There are lots of units and tanks everywhere which makes it seem like a real battle is going on
4. It is chaotic and full of action
5. Pulling off a good strategy/tactic with your teammates is satisfying.

Imbalanced

1. Axis are favored in lategame, and usually games go to late game. Their heavy tanks (along with nondoc Panther and KT are a pain to deal with). They have very strong infantry who have access to potent AT weapons as well.
2. Allies have a better early game (might be imbalanced), but if the Axis hold at least 40-50 percent of the map, they can still pull out at least one superheavy tank that could turn the tide fast.
3. I can go more into why Axis is favored but there are many posts throughout the forum that say the same thing. Message me if you want ot know my opinion.
4. Allies do not have the AT/support weapons that can turn back Axis heavies. Soviets are limited to only commander-specific units to reliably deal with Axis heavies

Maps

1. Some of the maps are way to big. Losing the first engagement is very punishing because the retreat distances are very long. By the time you return to the battle zone, the enemy will have already fortified it
2. Some of the maps like Ettelbruck and Rostov are really too small. There are units al over the place and not much room to maneuver. This makes flanking and outmaneuver warfare difficult and pointless
3. Most of the maps have a lot of choke points or devolve into 2 2v2s. Players usually go straight for the fuel and it becomes battle to control the fuel point and nothing else.
4. Maps favor defensive play around VPs and fuel points. This favors Axis because Ostheer can build defensive fortifications and OKW can lockdown a sector with the flaktruck and the short reinforce medic truck thing


What i can Give up to Make Balance Better

1. Allies losing early game advantage and Axis losing late game advantage. Basically an evening of the extremes
2. Perhaps changing the resource rates
3. Shorter wait times as Allies (lol)

Alright, so most people think its ability to dominate medium tanks and infantry at long range is what makes this tank OP.

So is using heavy tanks, or even panthers the best way to deal with it?

It actually has very weak armor/or hp. any heavy tank can take off a large part of its health with one hit. It also is vulnerable to flanking, like many of the other nonturretted tanks.
