Alot of the upgrades are giving the troops, better guns, Satchel Charges and other things that would require munitions.

Tanks also can recieve more ammo types.

making it so it cost munitions to get these things makes sense

 Yea, my concerns are about force density. I don't fear
 seeing 4x+ Tigers in one single group :) Churchill massing
 is a monstrosity I am sooooo against (Really should be a cap
 on those) same with Firefly massing, etc

 I'm not against IS2 being in the game. I just think there
 should be nice mechanics in place to ... force suggest ? ;)
 Spamming T34's and not IS2's.

 4-5x IS2's = Game over :p
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

Yea that's what I've been fearing all along with my original thread.  I think T34s should really be the spam tank instead...if IS-2s were able to be spammed like that, I really fear the worst.  If there was the limit like 2x IS-2s per player max at any point in the game as I suggested, I think it would be great.  Its not like IS-2s are even doctrinal or that expensive, so they can be remade after one dies. 

Panthers don't benefit in terms of tank-vs-tank battles after Vet1 (.85 received damage).  Vet2 just gives them a mg gunner and Vet3 gives them side-skirts against infantry AT weapons.  http://www.coh-stats.com/factions/wehrmacht/units/panther.html [nofollow]

Now if a Panther can really NEARLY stand up toe to toe with a IS-2, then I guess limitations wouldn't be that needed, except there's the fact that Panthers suck vs infantry, but IS-2 vs infantry is...idk...gotta try the mod to judge that   ;)

 Eh. Didn't think about that. Yea, vet2/vet3 are vs infantry!!
 Exactly, while I don't think Panther should be spammable
 like that (Cap of 4 is nice), it IS primarly vs Tanks only. While
 IS2 is all-purpose. I'd be okay with a limit of 2. Hmm, I like
 Iron Cross mod where you need to buy an extra unlock before
 can make Panthers :) (Similar to PE Panther gruppen).
 
 That I can make IS2 at about the same time I can make my
 2nd T34 is... *Shudders*

 *ENCOURAGE THE T34 !!!*
