if historical accuracy was practiced then:
Shermans and T34/85s would be 10 fuel.
-All axis air support abilities would be reduced to 90% effectiveness when fighting a western army.
-Fuel income for axis would be reduced for each minute of the game that passes.
-if you lose as axis your profile stands a chance of having the 'Nuremberg trials' debuff applied and you can no longer use the commander you selected in the match.
-UKF air supremacy reduced to 20 munitions but AoE covers the entire map and also overflows into other matches.
etc etc
You see, historical accuracy would be one slippery slope for the faction that, historically, lost.
Now, I'm not saying you have any faction preferences, PanzerKampf, but surely you see my point
Sigh... please read my previous post:
" All I'm saying is let's not try to lose as little authenticity as we have now. Let's not lose anymore of it just for the sake of changing the game."
I want to preserve what little historical authenticity we currently have without losing more. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
Also read Kasarov's post explaining a change for the next patch that directly contradicts history.
