Happened again.
This time, played against a lower level. Not very good (granted Im not pro either). I had complete map control, killed endless numbers of grens and pioneers. Total resource control.
2 T-34s and a Halftrack...
He had 2 StuGs. He destroyed 4 T-34s over the course of the game even though I flanked and blew the engines of the StuG's. The StuG kills a T-34 before it can get close, the armour is so thin that T-34s get killed by 2 StuG's who have been pinned and flanked....
Ive been trying to play the T-34 because like everyone says, no one uses it due to the SU-85 being the only thing that can fight German tanks.
Id be happy for a Medium buff on the T-34 in both Armour and Punch, bringing it up to 100 Fuel and 300 Manpower while taking a slight nerf to the SU-85.
I find it ridiculous that the cheapest German tank outmatches the T-34 in a 1 to 1 engagement. |
The last game I played using a T-34 I lost. Why?
well besides the fact Ive now lost my voice due to the apocalyptic abuse I was screaming and the inevitable rage quit that followed. Now that I am calm I shall explain.
I witnessed a T-34 fire 8 shells at the rear armor of an Ostwind. And the Ostwind shrugged it off and drove away.... with a blown engine from AT grenades.
That same time, the Ostwind came back and did it again. Also. A Panzer IV, with half health and a blown engine. Was flanked by a full health T-34 which I drove around him specifically and fired into his side and rear from POINT BLANK. The Panzer turned round and killed the T-34 without so much as a scratch.
Now as far as I am aware, the T-34 76 was not a useless tank. In fact it was quite powerful and the scourge of Panzer divisions during the Moscow Counteroffensive in 1941-42. As well as at Stalingrad in 42-43. But as stated earlier "history gets beaten by balance"
But how is it balanced that the USSR if it pulls out its signature tank. Gets blasted and killed by German tanks damaged, overrun at half health. I know that "You played like Sh!t get over it". But I was achieving one to one K/D against a German player of a higher rank in a German stacked map. And LOST. Because my T-34's (thats right this happened more than once) got killed by a Crippled AA gun... and a Damaged Panzer IV..... 2 vehicles.... both damaged.... killed my full health tanks....
Now I know its all about balance... but PLEASE. Make the T-34 cost 100 fuel and BOOST THE GODDAMN AT POWER. |
