One more reason to drive my shiny PzIII; guys from my Leo1 are eager to join battle and kick some commies ass :) sherman would be also quite nice choice for M48 crew…. all in all, I see this as a great way to improve crews and have fun at the same time instead playing thousands of battles in the same vehicle over and over. I just hope they will boost their income at least to mid tier premium level

That’s a very nice up and coming things aka Respawning and etc. At least they are using their “Garage Battle” system for that I guess, and enjoyin’ the fact that lower tier vehicles will be more or less ‘free’ premium tanks to grind up your insanely high crews that is.

The problem with the idea of simply one more set of statistics for each tank is that the historical battles are all different; some have huge tier disparity, others not so much. I could only imagine all tanks and guns having the same hitpoints and damage, thereby making armour, penetration and cover use critical, would be balancing. As in real-life, lower RoF would be a considerable handicap, enough to boost the allowed team size for the German teams. (In fact, I wouldn’t mind that in normal battles, as a good compromise between arcade and sim; HE rounds could still have damage disparity.)

Yeah Fred perfect example and illustrates my point in earlier post perfect. Ofc people want this, everyone are dirty cowards. Thats why this testserver is the biggest fail in wg testserver history. What a joke 15k players all randoming with tier 10′s (this is 100%normal tho.. sadly), or queued up as jagdtiger in historical refusing to accept what is obvious.

Dont misunderstand me. I like that idea too, its just never gonna work. To many cowards to few “heroes”

Why is everyone jumping to conclusions without either A: actually playing HB and/or B: thinking

Have you played HB yet? German tanks are currently OP in HB.

Or just change up assault to where they need to stop the enemy from destroying your CP or a village. Would cut back on the camping in assault mode but would bring out all the spgs.

All of it is to stop the issue with camping and on the opposite end the issue with en masse rushes.

This is really good news, the worst part about the German forces except for Kursk is the numbers disparity, which is essential because the likes of the Tiger 2 and JT having >1.5k health whereas the max the Russians get is 1.2k with the IS or the US getting 800-ish with the Shermans.

With this gamemode-dependant stats they’ll be able to tune the HP values for each tank, balance them out, and we might get the numbers disparity under control, allowing for a better balanced game.
