Best tank for Normandy balancing

T-29 u.s. prototype
T29_Heavy_Tank
First built in march 1944. Showed that it can succesfully penetrate tiger 2 and 1 armor in conducted tests. But never mass produced or saw action cause eisenhower and us military in general thought heavy tanks are waste of time and money since lighter tanks are more reliable, easily produceable and logistically easier to deal.
Pros
More turret armor (203mm compared to 185mm)
Similar gun (Tiger II had better ‘all purpose’ APHE while the T29 had better AT solid shot)
Better mobility (12 HP/t compared to 10.3)
Cons
Less hull armor (102mm at 50 degree compared to 150mm at 50 degree)

Some say add pershing but pershing is really far fetched for 1944.

We see a lot of rare guns and prototypes in game already .Devs should add it.
So finally normandy allies can just stop whining and shut up

Nah, give 76 jumbo, that one existed by Normandy, and saw service.

We don’t need progressively heavier bullshit that can only be killed by other tanks.

M36 Slugger or the 90mm Hellcat should be the top tier.

Not to mention that adding it would just give the US their own version of a Tiger wich seems counter intuitiv with the asymmetric balancing. If they do that Axis should get a CAS aircraft that´s as good as the P-47.

Assymetric balance has been a buzzword for imbalance since CBT.

But it’s true that it would just be an American Tiger, creating the problem that Germany will now want something that can beat it.

even then this community clearly doesn’t want asymmetric which is what you see with the pacific

Arent we going to see pershing in late stage war anyway ? We already have is-2 so i dont think devs have any problem of adding heavy vehicles

to be fair this IS-2 is the same weak armor of the IS-1 though they do plan on adding the model 1944 to the game at some point

It’s a pity.

If I don’t get a Pershing, the Hellcat would satisfy me. Even if ppl whine about Hellcat having open tap blahblahblah, weaker than tiger 2 blahblahblah.

I remember just spamming Hellcat in H&G and defeating big fat KT while doing this:

What we were promised pre-alpha was a D day map where the allies have greater numbers but Germans are dug in deep with good fortifications.

That’s what I think of when I hear assymetric balance, not “well my level 6 reward is bad so it justifies your level 8 reward being bad” like you always hear here.

By asymmetric you mean literally EVERYTHING worse and in some cases unusable on Axis side except Type 97 ATR?

We dont need more tank

They are not even comparable…P-47 is the best plane overall in the game, next one is FW-190 D-12.

Pacific is symmetrical, both faction equipment actually are very very bad or most pointless

don’t know about you but i managed to get axis equipment working up to the ostu, since i’ve yet to use that squad, and tanks since jap tube (type 5 rocket) and the magical 60 kilos work soo much better for Anti tank duties

no, they are very very comparable and i know this because i USE both of those also 99% of people seem to sleep on the 30 mk108s of the 110g-2 since it’s both good at raping aircraft and infantry alike
