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. ---

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” _Edited to remove swearing. Let’s watch the language, please. - EA\_Cian_
