Explain? My knowledge of English makes it difficult for me to understand it.

you can’t always hide the MG port, the 4s gun can overmatch jumbo’s lower side armor if angled slightly too much, and that cupola is always a target.
i’m only talking about anti tank duties because that is what the context that people bitch about jumbo in so anti infantry doesn’t matter.
and people that always bitch about jumbo also need to l2p funny how that works out
A) bots can’t use vehicles so these were real people
B) only 2 of the jumbos weren’t expecting me with the other 2 knew where i was but still ended up dying because one was tied up with me for so long that inf got him, and the other one i killed because i RUSHED him down

That is completely false. Why would you even say something like that? Lower plate and turret cheeks on the III N cannot bounce my 75 AP. Furthermore, PZ III N cannot pen the Jumbo anywhere in the front, not even the mg port. So, even if what you say is true (and it isn’t), at worst, it would be a Mexican standoff.
You know how you can only fire the machine gun in the Panther for like 3 seconds before it stops?
That’s dumb and the time before it stops firing should be a lot longer or just remove that mechanic entirely and allow you to dump the belt

You will see them, they will be there. I hope they will only be there, because I don’t want to see Persing and KT in Normandy.
Hopefully the patch with the new 3-6 levels will be in the next month. I don’t want to wait another 4-5 months.
Seconded.
Tanks, especially WW era tanks, are not and were never invincible killing machines. No matter what wherabros claim.
Armor without infantry support is a liability and this still applies to modern day combat. Tanks are, can, and should be punished for advancing without infantry support.
Armor without logistic support is also useless, just do research on how many Tigers the Whermacht had to leave behind in their campaigns. Those over engineered Glory pieces were a huge detriment to the German war effort.
Tanks, especially rogue ones, should be relatively simple for coordinated infantry squads to take out and currently it’s semi well represented.

Considering we just DL’d 2.5gb and it only added internal changes and two new gamemodes for maps already in game
I’m cautiously hopeful that we’ll get something soon and it was snuck in today
Ah, that’s what I thought. It actually weakens the Axis tanks a lot. I’m actually all for it, but the Mg34 would be a very strong machine gun on tanks. I would like to reduce this effect, because now it overheats after 20-30 shots, but probably if removed, the allies will complain.

you mean the SHORT STUBBY infantry support gun doesn’t do well against frontal armor 
If they removed overheat for tank MGs full stop it would be great
No more T-60 overheating with one round in the 20mm belt forcing you to wait for that to cool and then another 20 seconds to reload
No more DT locking up right before you finish the pan
MG-34s could actually dump their belt instead of laser one or two guys before locking up
It would be a good change overall

HAHAHAHAHA. Wow. You can calm down with the entitlement. I could not care less about your validation. You are some stranger on the internet unironically complaining that the Jumbo is no longer overpowered enough.

I have not noticed overheating on Soviet tank machine guns. I would keep this effect, but reduce it, for Mg-34s overheat too quickly.

The soviet MGs take a very long time to overheat because they fire slowly so its not as noticable and outright won’t happen if you happen to stop firing at least for a second.
Remove the over hating or at least make it less present to all tanks, no one will complain.

You are so desperately clutching at straws, it is getting silly.
- My argument is this: no gun can pen the Jumbo from the front, if the player driving the Jumbo is not a complete scrub. Jumbo is fine and balanced even against the Panther (despite being many levels lower than it)
- You decided to counter this point by posting screenshots with a tank (PZ III N) that can never pen the jumbo from the front as if killing from the side some really really bad players driving jumbos refutes my point
- I call you out for being dishonest and for clutching at straws because PZ III N actually makes my argument even stronger. Germany has a bunch of tanks that absolutely cannot pen the Jumbo from the front. On the US Side, even with Stuarts, you can frontally pen everything the Germans have (except Panther)
- you literally admit you were clutching at straws, but you act smug as if you totally showed me.
Do you suffer from short memory loss? Did it take such a short time to forget what you are trying to refute? OR do you just like hearing yourself arguing for the sake of arguing, no matter how much you contradict yourself?

I’m sorry but have you ever seen what continuous fire does to machine gun barrels? There’s a reason modern machine guns have quick change barrels built in.
I’d only be ok with no overheating on MGs if barrel warping and melt was a factor and players had finite barrels they could swap.
Otherwise tanks don’t need anymore leverage against infantry.
Yes I’m aware, but its an arcade game
At the very least dial it back to allow the higher RPM coax to fire longer than 2s

Yes but shooting 20 rounds and going in over heating is ridiculous, let me at least upgrade the tank with a bucket of water for mitigate the problem (sarcasm).

Gun Jesus and The Chieftain would disagree with you. And, I am fairly certain they know what they are talking about.
The mg34 and 42 barrels were good for many thousands of rounds until the barrel gave. No, you did not need to fire them in bursts in order to keep them from getting damaged. Furthermore, they could be very easily replaced. Also, this is a game. Also, in this game, the US mgs do not overheat and they are devastating.
If just someone would have flanked you, as Infantry, you would be toast.
So who cares. Sometimes you rock and will be #1 and you win without losing a point or Normandy can be pure fetish play with losing 15 of 20 games as it was in August.
