Aren't tanks a bit too much of a glass cannon?

I mean that generally tanks work in 2 modes:

  • murdering machine
  • burning wreck

Explain better?

get close to the point explode

camp, eventually explode

play a tank in a smart way staying in cover and all of that shit, you dont do shit and dont help the team (and still explode)

you just explode eventually in some way

I mean that tanks can do a lot of damage but if they get damaged themselves it’s an OHK in 99% of cases.

If they don’t get stuck on a small rock or lose all momentum going through a fence made of sticks.

Honestly it depends on the map and tank itself where there are maps where tanks are terrible to use while others really shine.

Bombarding with HE from a distance and sometimes enemy tanks itself where I personally prefer the T-34-85 for that along with the IS-2 and the Tiger.

Tanks are situational but perfectly useable. You just have to have a brain, if the map doesn’t favor tanks, don’t spawn one or spawn something light. Tanks aren’t invincible killing machine, if infantry gets in range of you, you die unless you can run away, most of the complain I read here are skill issue (not memeing). A good tanker knows when to push and when to stay afar, a good tanker knows when he needs to support infantry or when he needs to do tank superiority.

The only complain you can have are bad tanker camping in the gray zone and being worthless, but those you can just bomb. But here we more have an issue of the average enlisted player being braindead.
The one change that tanker needs is to be able to switch tank at the start of the battle, only once, because some maps are better for some tanks, for example a normandy urban map favors the puma and chaffe or support tanks like the 3N, an open berlin map will favor using german tank destroyers. So you should get a free switch tank in the first 2 minutes of the battle. (and fix solid shot post pen damage and give the M24 its aphe)

well, they have to.

after all, just like in “”“real life”"".

tanks are not unbeatable.

so more the ww2 ones.

( granted, not everyone runned around with tnts jumping around the battlefield )

but i recon they are in an ok position.

somewhat powerfull that they can provide cover and clear out objectives if used correctly, to not a point of being too much overpowered where it requires more than 1 tnt ( even though, happens that m5s can survive from panzerfausts or tigers from bazookas and piats ) and can be easely destroy.

problem gets where there are gray zone tank camping.
where you kind have to relay on CAS.

which it’s like rng…

imo it’s just high danger, high reward
you’re inside a bulletproof box with machine guns and a cannon, you get to farm kills, but at the same time everyone wants you dead,

Cant have Sheisse in enlisted.

Yes it is a problem.

Should i make a post? Probably yes

Do i want to make a post? no

Will the devs listen to any suggestion posts? Well judging by the past years developer performance i will say:

Fuck no, no chance. You have a better chance of picking up a turd by its clean end. Devs wont listen, they dont care

talking about glass cannons …

no armor best armor.

This is true, seeing a tank = take it out as quick as possible

Blame the maps.
Maps are like the cause of 80% of the games problem.

I constantly deal with smart tank players where they just fuck shit up from a far distance and have there bases covered. Dumb tank players are easy to deal with while the really good tank players make me wanna uninstall lol
