New tank class? Assault gun? Heck yes!

What would the properties of a dedicated high tier td killer be? Good view range, alpha and plenty of firing solutions for camped positions? Don’t necessarily need huge mobility but would be good to have something that can protect HTs from TDs. What do you all think?

Currently, it seems like in the wot version of Rock Paper Scissors. TDs are paper, HTs are rocks, but true scissors aren’t yet made for high tiers…

I’m honestly for just not putting it in game, it’s really just too damn broken, there’s just no way really to put it in without just saying ‘fuck it’ in someway and implementing an overall unbalanced vehicle, which is bad.

There are enough of those in game as it is, it really doesn’t need more.

Sadly most of the maps are designed to cause bottlenecks. Really about 90% of the maps just devolve into predictable corridors, which would really make this thing OP as pretty much anything.

Love the design for assault gun mode. It should be implemented!

Just introduce the Sturmtiger as artillery with 2000 HP, slow mobility (slow turning speed, low max. speed, low acceleration), with really bad aimtime, bad accuracy on distances farther then 50m, and slow reloading.

Done. No worries there. The gunarc would not be as dramatic as you have shown on your picture. It would however work on the hill (castle) on Himmelsdorf. And even then it would encourage to move your tank and not sit on one place.

So where’s the catch I am not seeing?

I don’t even know why so many people want this. There are literally a dozen vehicles I can think of that’d be better for the game than a 380mm artillery piece that’ll just further drive a wedge in the community.

Seriously the last thing the game needs is more insta-gibs from a unit safe and sound on the other side of the map.
