No, this is not a nerf thread, but rather a standardize thread! The idea is to make all tanks (maybe with the exception of light vehicles due to the fact that they needs high mobilities) to have a 0.5 moving accuracy. This mainly aim to solve the problems in tank play, especially the concept of drive-by (Just rush through, take down its counter: AT guns, then run away) while at the same time, solve the problems where Ostheer tanks being considered underperform on the move (Panzer IV and Panther, for example).
After reading some discussions, the situation with the Shermans could be solve by not only lower its price but also make it more of a generalist tank (Similar to Panzer IV but weaker and cheaper). Same could go with the Cromwell, but make its gun (And Sherman's gun) to be more effective at close-medium range, while Panzer IV shine at long range (Sherman and Cromwell already/could have faster speed to closing in, but give low moving accuracy would result in you actually microing your armours: run, stop, shoot, repeat, rather than just run)
But you got to consider without Premium Commanders those Shermans are the USF lategame, they were designed to fight on the move and are already pretty generalist, with the reward of using HE shells vs soft targets, you could ask for Panzer IV buffs but I don't think Shermans need to be looked at, British Tanks I could understand as they are cheaper and almost better all around. |
Is this a Nerf Brits or Nerf Shermans thread? Because honestly only the USF Shermans should have this feature, it deserves it. |
OKW VC skins for Supply only? Good Update! |
The toothfairy has already granted you that wish. Taken from WBP 1.0:
I'm very much pro-removing FRP. However that's out of scope. If that ever changes though, we will have to add reinforcement halftracks to the affected armies.
I see, thank you.
But if you remove FRP, you'll have to give Major some other utility, so players are not encouraged to just suicide him. |
Yeah, the only other place you should be able to designate as a retreat point is an ally's HQ...
Then you would need to remove all things that you can fire on the base sector. |
The meta would be M36 Jacksons and M8 Scotts, there wouldn't be much need for M4 Shermans.
M8 Scott?
What is this new unit you speak of? |
It should be a glass cannon, it's not supposed to win in a slug fest. If it could, why would you make Shermans?
Vs Infantry?
The Firefly has 640 HP! |
exactly, more health for m36 would be osom
I know right, how nice it would be not to die in 2 KT shots, 3 AT shots, or 4 Shreck shots. |
I'd rather you give M36 the health the Firefly has and leave the Sherman alone, it's fine where it is. |
