It’s my first week in this game, and i saw a major problem with heavy tanks. How can a light tank survive to 3 shots of a 88mm gun from a Tiger or 4 well placed, i said well placed shots from a churchill and there is more, the amazing frontal armor of 100mm iron reinforced looks like more with a paper when a simple Panzerfaust or a PIAT hit. Heavy tanks were made to receive Dmg and be on the front, i know its hard to balanced the game with the reality but the current state of the game put one of the highest symbol of war in a pocket.
If tanks were made to be historically accurate in game… They would never die. All we would be complaining about is how tanks just camp objectives taking 5 damage from a piat with a support behind him healing the whole time. The only time a tank would have to leave is to refill ammo… Also, if a tank never dies, how will you get a tank if it’s just 1 per side?
BFV is more focused on squad play. BF1 is a lead reason why tanks are what we have now and the vast majority of Battlefield players complained about how they were a 1 man army… But the best tanks right now are the Valentine/panzer stag/38t and the M-AA tanks.. the tiger is a tank that needs squad support. But an ace tanker can wreck alot of players solo with tiger. It’s only real downside is it’s speed.
So? Light tanks are still one man armies, but heavy tanks have to suffer? That makes little sense in my opinion.
Light tanks are by all means not a one man army… They die twice as fast. You’re essentially trading armor for a all around faster tank. Theoretically, I do see your point. Tigers should have slightly more armor on the front making them alittle harder to take out.
In fact T17/P38 are the best tank, Mark enemies or support infantry anti vehicle they can do every thing,and they are fast , why u think they die twice as fast.
Maybe because he is using them as a heavy tank? The lightest tanks are mind blowingly op right now, while heavy tanks are rather useless. When it comes to balance, it just screams “Screw Logic”
