iv always thought it was a tiny bit stupid that Class 1 Tankers have more vehicle selection then Class 2 Tankers…

the class? or the squad?
the squad…
Nope. The last thing we need is vehicle commonality between the tanker squads, I don’t want to imagine some guy just cycling between 3x Jumbo or 3x Panther, those tanks are problematic enough as they are without the same guy being able to sacrifice them at will.

i only want them for tanker 2… not tanker 2 for 1…
its because im sick of this fucking Jumbo and wanna use my rhino but i need to level my tanker 2 squad still… but it only has one fucking tank… the jumbo…
Ah, I see. Having Jumbo squad use older tanks, but older squads not use later tanks. I’m less opposed to that, but it could still create a problem with one guy spamming rhinos or m5a1s, which wouldn’t be very effective and would constantly occupy one of his team’s tank slots.
rhino’s are great on maps with a lot of annoying greenery, its the closest thing we got to a centaur bulldozer
which is rhino? sdkfz?
jokes on you, the rhino can pen a panther from the side and ammo rack it.
never seen it, but clever buggers can do that.
jokes aside, well, yeah, i agree to op.
as long early squad does not use the later tank squad, it would be cool. and once i have prem, i would like to run the puma with perhaps the pz IV/ III on normandy. ( or even better, the sdkfz if it will ever come for normandy ) to make a recon line up to use when in custom games against bots.
( but that’s just me ).

But there is a limit of one vehicle per player. Or at least for non P2W players.

I had forgotten, thanks for reminding me. Since OP isn’t asking for forwards compatibility, just backwards, it wouldn’t have been a problem anyway, but I see my mistake.
The more I think about it, the less I disagree. If you’re a paying player, though, this could still cause problems, maybe not with balance but with memes. Some whale spamming three tank squads with m5a1s wouldn’t be much help to the team and eats a tanker slot. If they made it so that you could only put the vehicles on one slot at a time, though, like you only own one of them, it solves every issue I have with the idea.
But they could also get 2 panthers or 2 jumbos
I’m talking about just one player. The way this is shaking out, you’d only be able to have one squad per person with a panther or jumbo, meaning up to two in a fight, but I’m only referring to someone with three tank squads active just spamming m5a1s or pumas for the lulz.
3 tank squads???
am i missing something…
even with premium you can only take 2 tank squads in battle and even then you cant constantly use tanks over and over, there’s a limit between uses, true they come around more frequently but you still end up using an infantry squad inbetween
nevermind figured it out… but still requires quite a bit of moronic commitment to spam 3 or more vehicle squads since you would have to level up to unlock those squads and buy the extra premium squads just to troll…
that would be like one of the most expensive trolls iv seen… on average you’d have to put in give or take $500.00 if you didn’t wanna rank up by grinding plus you would need about $30.00 worth of enlisted gold to buy premium + the extra slots, and another 6100 enlisted gold for the premium tank squad.
Still achievable with time, without spending money, at least in Normandy which has been the focus of a lot of this thread. Each side in Normandy has three, non-premium tank squads, and there’s more than a few players who have already maxed at least one side of that campaign (I’ve maxed Soviets in both available campaigns, and Allies in Normandy.)
For Moscow, if you wanted to accomplish the same, you have to be level 22, which comes at a cost of 36200 gold if you start at level 1, and you’d have to buy at least one premium squad for 6100, total 42300, three of the $100 gold pack plus a little. I agree that this is more expensive than is reasonable to expect, but since people actually level things over time, and some of us have been playing for more than a year, I don’t think many would have to pay. I could do it right now in Moscow because I bought the Ba-11 squad when it was available, or normandy. Berlin requires two premium squads, which luckily exist, but I don’t own them, and tunisia would need one. So, you’re not wrong, it’ll cost at least some money to do, at least outside of normandy, but there’s enough whales playing that I think you’d see it day one.
Edit: I forgot to account for the cost of premium and extra slots, but I think I made the point.
yep but who’s gonna put in that much time/money to just troll the game?
That’s my point, people who wouldn’t already be able to do so might not spend the money, but there’s loads of us who’d be able to do it in one campaign or another right now, for no additional cost. Think of all the guys who recently finished the normandy axis grind, since it was easymode. Any of them could decide they don’t like playing infantry and just spam the Puma.
I don’t really think it would be that common, but spamming tanks in general might be common enough that the F2P guys who’d stand to benefit from this suggestion wouldn’t get to play tanks as often, because someone’s got three tank squads and isn’t giving up the slot.
long as they’re playing who cares if they spam light tanks, iv been able to take out heavy tanks with my rhino just cause i can outmanoeuvre them with speed… they can’t aim at me cause im faster then their cannons turn speed and i just keep pecking away at them till they blow up.
