Im sorry, you got it all wrong. I brought upp an example of how luring the enemy into that street wasnt easy at all, and how much I enjpyed ramming that Tiger when I did a lot of planning and positioning to set up the ambush. Point was, when I realised that I didnt have to do anything of that, and could just have rammed him head on anyways, ramming wasnt fun anymore.



I think what I did ask was why some of you cant discuss issues like this without getting all defensive, and asuming a lot about other people. I didnt know how sensitive some people are.

I didn't misread your comment or got it wrong.

What I am saying is: you cannot just go on ramming any tiger you see. You can attempt to, but most good players will just inflict a lot of MP and resources drain on you, if you go on ramming their well supported Tigers/Panthers.

Unless you plan your attack well, and execute it well, and have sufficient force to back up the ram and finish of the target tank. The only thing that will get hurt is ramming T34, Panther/Tiger gets repaired straight away.

So your analogy of how you don't have to think about anything and just press ram button is bias, in my opinion.

If you go around marauding with Tiger, get rammed and lose your Tiger. Well you deserve it.

So people disagreeing with you are defensive and angry? And you are calm and rational, I see

I have none of the maps vetoed. However, often when I do put veto on a map. I seem to get games on that map 10x more. (oka winter)

Not sure if it's just coincidence or maybe some glitch in server that actually gives preference to vetoed maps.

Now I know none of these things will probably change but here is what I would do (in no particular order) -

Make ram critical dependant upon health/armour and facing of vehicles, make ram cause more damage to both vehicles. Switch ram with secure territory at vet 1

How do you propose to deter Panthers roaming around the map without deterant? (keep in mind you already took away Oorah, so at nades are out of question too)

Hoping to vet up is kind of, well hopeful

Increase frontal armour of Stug, increase reload, reduce fuel cost

Cheap powerful tank at T3 combined with PG's? don't see the problem there?

Switch trip wire flare with Oorah! at vet 1, reduce MP cost of conscripts slightly

You would have to reduce cost of conscripts to almost nothing, because you just made them useless. No Oorah, means no molotov and means no at nade (unless you play vs some noob who can't reposition their HMG or comes with light armor and parks next to you for at nade.
Having bunch of spammable infantry that is used as cannon feed infantry is not really my idea of interesting tactical game

Remove engine critical chance from Pfaust, increase damage

Any idea how to deal with clown cars, T70, defend against the ram? I got nothing

Remove "auto seeking" AT nades - if it moves out of range the animation won't continue to activate

'auto seeking nade' is just animation, it means that player AT naded your vehicle while you were in the range. Removing animation would mean you get instant AT nade without animation, nothing else
If you got 'auto seek AT naded' it means you didn't evade nothing. Your fault, not game being against you

I won't go on

All well and good. As it seems we both agree that the AT-gap should be filled by something less awkward and more tacticly interesting than ram I dont se any reason to argue further. I honestly think your las line says more about you than it does about me though.

Hey, you brought up example of how easy it is to ram Tiger in the ass in narrow street. I don't see how me mentioning combined arms reflects on me, rather than on your bias example.
You asked why people don't see problem with ram, most do. But not in way you represent it.
See you find problem being ram in isolation, an awkward and tactically uninteresting ability.

I find the problem with ram to be other awkward units and abilities as well, that cannot be excluded.

Why would someone use combined arms if you can negate skilled player taking up positions with simple click of the button, like strafing run that hangs for 5 min?

There goes your button and at nade, leaving those SU85's pretty much defenseless vs Panther/PG's

If you cannot see the larger problem in game design, then as you said: 'its pointless to talk anymore'

That is of course your oppinion. I dont think ram is a good ability and think it should be reworked regardless of balance, wich I havent critisized at all.

Now, why is it that hard for you, and others like you, to discuss certain aspects of the game without working yourselves up and getting all angry? This "shut upp, L2p"-attitude strikes me as kind of absurd. Its a discussion regarding aspect of a game, nothing to get all worked upp about.

Because you are mentioning one single thing out of game full of gimmicky abilities, units and call-ins.

Then you are having biased opinion, and giving example that suits only your biased opinion

You make ram look like 'i win ability' that there is no defense against, when it isn't so.

FYI, others play against and use Ram. It's affected by RNG in both directions, sometimes it hurts Soviet Player sometimes it hurts German player.

I hate Ram, and a lot of other people that are arguing with you and other biased opinions are not very happy with Ram ability.

Yet here I am arguing with you about Ram. That should be a clue for you

You are not objective in your analysis and offer absolutely no alternative or insight into what would happen if this annoying ability is removed without adequate nerfs to units you love or replacing it with something that is capable of performing the same thing.

Ram is specifically designed to give Soviet army weapon against German 'heavies' as you called them, not to ram halftracks or stugs
Most people aren't stupid enough to stand in front of the 2 Su85's and Zis gun for 5 minutes with their Tiger or Panther.
Most people support their Panthers and Tigers and it is very hard to kill them with the ram, let alone trying to button them down for 5 minutes with rifles while they are supported by their own 'German combined arms'(yes that exist as well)
