I brought this issue up a couple of year back
https://www.coh2.org/topic/68044/rear-armor-of-some-vehicles-needs-to-be-reduced
only to have to waste my time responding to the usual suspect.
The hood new is that it seem it get the attention eventually so some of the value have been lowered.
I also brought this up many times. Also rear armour is 50% of a tank
Ever since that 60td and their sweet vet bonus that basically ignore your armor with either their pen,damage,rof, range, accuracy or just deadly effective mixture zoning out axis tanks
The real reason for tigersss, is because as axis players highlighted, it is a crutch unit. And we are thankful for the call in changes. It is fact allies still go through more phases and build variations after the call in changes
So if we want to stop stalling for heavy, then axis TD like panthers and jp4 needs help.
I guess our cries over the years has been coincidence with the call in changes that becomes even clearer
