Seems like the new meta goes like this nowadays:
soviets riding germans until endgame when both german players begin to spam tigers or tiger and Elefant. Sometimes these machines turn the tides, sometimes they don't.
From 3 2v2 games yesterday, all 3 ended in "kursk like" heavy tanks battles (only call-ins) with few infantry left on the field and the majority of them engeneers to repair the tanks of course. Yesterday I didn't see ISU 152 on the battlefield but alot of IS-2 and Tigers. Strange.
Gsus, I didn't see a Panther from ages, or a T34/85. Maybe a few T34/76 or Su-85s.
Right now the game is blocked in stereotyped game recips. Seems like german only chance is to bring Tigers, as manny as possible. And after several Tigers hit the field, the game is "balanced". Nice. a balanced game for the last 10-15 minutes of it. Lol.
In 2v2 and up I have to agree with you.
Whatever people say about call-ins shouldn't be restricted and stuff, it's just a bloody heavy tank war every god damn game.
