Rebalancing of tanks needed!

[CzaD]

For myself, I don’t really appreciate the tank battles in MoW: too gamey/arcade for me. The MoW tanks just don’t have enough range for a more realistic tank action. In more realistic games, you would just love Tiger 1: massive range (about 2km), very good fire control and high penetration. Tiger 1 could take out many Shermans or T-34s before they could even get close to it. The MoW Tiger 1 is not even close to its might.

Therefore, in MoW, the task of tanks seems to limited to provide support for the infantry and that’s about it.



I wonder if DMS will make any improvement in that area in AS.

Thats the main reason tanks were created.

Yes, you are right about their creation. But we need to look at their evolution for a bigger picture: see, for example, how they were used in the Battle of Kursk.


The MP tanks only battles could be improved a lot:

- by making them more historical (you choose the year in which you want to fight a battle);
- making them more realistic ( increasing and varying the range of fire: tiger 1 is a kitten in MoW coz it was robbed of it range and control fire);
- doing something with the fog of war( it is funny that I can see a small fence destroyed in the distance but I can’t see the huge tank that had knocked it down);
- by adding more tanks to command (one tank or two are not enough to plan your battle field strategy).


As to balancing, I played a game that didn’t have the problem, coz you could set the exact year in which you wanted to fight the battle. The fact that you can wait a few seconds more to get a new, shiny King Tiger is a bit gamey.
