total fuel cost to T-34
T1/2 + ATnade/molly + T3 + T4 + 90 fuel
10/15+10+10+85+90+90 = 300 fuel
total cost to Panzer 4
T1 + BP1 + T2 + BP2 + 125 fuel
10+40+20+105+125 = 300 fuel
but yeah sure "balance"
When i look at the stats/ numbers i come to this :
T34 cost total:
T2 --> 160/15
T3--> 240/85
T4 --> 240/90
T34 --> 300/90 AND only
10 Popcap
-->940 Manpower 280 fuel
Wehrmacht PIV cost total (live version cost, not mod!):
T1 --> 80/10
BP1 --> 100/40
T2 --> 100/20
BP2 --> 200/105
T3 --> 140/0
PIV --> 355/120 AND
12 Popcap
--> 975 Manpower 255 fuel
BUT
1) In atleast 2vs2-4vs4 soviet can skip any vehicles and can rush t34. Normally wehrmacht goes for 1 251hft or an 222, which each cost
200 manpower and 30 fuel extra.
2) T34 is very good tank vs inf. Imo better than piv. Yes sometimes if you are clumbed wehrmacht piv hits too^^
3) The next problem is not the first T34 vs PIV. The thing is, that you can get over the whole game faster, easier and more t34 than pivs, because of less manpower cost (55) and less fuel cost (30 fuel) and 2 less popcap for each tank.
Vet 1 stuff
4) You get already vet1 after killing 14 gren models for example, without getting self damage.
5) You get vet 1 already after 4 shot(hits) fights vs enemy PIV, without getting self damage.
6) You get also some vet, when you get damage from enemy.
So you can get fast vet1 for T34. It is just to give enemy a chance to see and react, that you got new t34 to ram your units.
So if you look close to this change, it is a very very small nerf to a very strong + cheap ability.
