Eastern Front = Large tank battles?
« on: February 04, 2010, 07:13:17 PM »
How about that all tanks are cheaper by half. So that you can make every battle "Kursk battle". Lot's of armor clashes and AT guns,or at least that some maps have cheaper armor,for example: "The Battle of Prokhorovka" map.

I think must be exactly opposite.

Cost for tanks to be doubled,and artillery to have the same number in models as tanks,with far less price.

The number and cost can be different from one faction to another.

Battle between tanks can be funny,but after a while became boring.Reproducing every phases from the real war,with artillery barrage,infantry assault,battle between tanks for taking the flanks,intervention of planes for supporting them...that will be far more fun and interesting.Having just few tanks,who sit like ducks(more or less) shooting each in other,is pathetic.

Ironic, on EF Kursk you can't have yourself a Kursk-type battle. Sure, play long enough and you may build yourself a tank, but by that point you'll more than likely have called in several.

OK,but then there should be map or two that will give cheaper armor and AT,and if you want to make some tanks battle,you chose those maps.
And "Having just few tanks,who sit like ducks(more or less) shooting each in other,is pathetic."

No it's not. If Wehrmacht use 2-3 Panters + 2-3 Tiger's Stug's+ Panzer IV+ Elefant(He should be in further releases)+ Pak38,then you need tactic to flank and destroy them. And that ain't easy.

The eastern front had the largest tank battle in history.  Armor should be a focal point.

Last night I've played EF and Wermahct managed to send on me a lot's of armor,but I couldn't counter them,few of my ZiS-2 and T-34/76 were too weak against panzer's, stug's,and panter. Fuel is the most problem for the Soviets. I hope that in next release they will  balance resources (raise Fuel gathering or reduce the fuel consuming).

Increasing pop cap,reducing resources consuming will give us ultimate Eastern front tank battles.

The main problem I have with EF maps is the lack of resources, I forgot which but on one map it was full of low munitions and low fuel points and I swear if you capped the whole map you would only get +30something. I would just suggest to generally raise the ammount of resources on all maps or just that maps that need it. As it is right now tank battles aren't really viable.
I just love the smell of burning tanks in the morning

i think tanks are fine the way they are, except maybe make the T-34 have better armor. But there needs to be more oil.
No one can stop the German panzer divisions.

I disagree, this makes you think about what you are going to make rather then "Oh what can I spam?"
