Most heavy German tanks having terrible power/ weight ratios and drive train giving crippling reliablity issues.

One of the first tigers fielded getting taken out by a 40mm Matilda 2 in North Afika (tank combat is RNG)
Most heavy german tanks having terrible power/ weight ratios and drive train giving crippling reliablity issues.
KV1 being utterly uncounterable by anything Wehrmacht had in 1941-42
StuGs accounting for the majority of Wehrmacht tank kills by an AFV
More Panthers breaking down during Citadel than actually working
Not being suited for the logistics of Russia or North Afrika

Great suspension and turret basket layouts.
German tanks were actually outclassed in most regards during most stages of the war by their Allied rivals.
Only in Northern France in both regards 1940 and 1944 was there a significant tank vs tank technology advantage for the Germans. In Russia it could be argued the Soviets had a tank design advantage in 1941 and a material and design advantage 1943 onward. Tank design is more than just armour and penetration of main armament.
I'm starting to realise that this forum is filled with fanatical anti axis aggresive allied fanboys. Also stop using "Wehraboo". It's not a word. Check the dictionary.
Not 100% percent but some facts in the game are historically accurate. Like the Axis tanks being better than the Allied counterparts, the Tiger tanks being very powerfull, all the weapons, vehicles and tanks are those used in WW2.
How is it not historically accurate? Please explain.
Can we please all agree keep all the faction specific oddities who whine about Axis balance or Allies balance in one forum or another??
1) All the nationalistic Russians and East Europeans that love the Soviets can go on Steam.
2) The strange wehraboo nerds that seem to think Germans wearing tight leather shorts from the 1940s are the greatest thing since steak and blowjob day can go on the official forums.
3) The casual noobs can go to reddit.
4) And on .org we can have a mixture of faction ambivalent competitive community, and also all the trolls that just seek to cause general chaos and raise the blood pressure of the admins and the moderators.
Let's all agree a separation and territorial truce.
PanzerKampf you're 'category 2' this means you belong on the official forums, please depart immediately.
Fun fact: "Wehraboo" is not a word. Check the dictionary. Stop trying to insult Axis players.
