As long as the tanks on the German side have the disadvantage of not being sloped armored, I think they should be balanced by the penetration of their shells and main guns. The premium Panzer4 Ausf.E is equipped with HEAT rounds instead of HE rounds. However, the Panzer4 Ausf.F1, which should be a superior or alternative tank, is still equipped with HE ammunition, the same as the regular Panzer4 Ausf.E. To compete with the T-34, the Panzer3 Ausf.J1 has been placed as a competitor, but its penetration at long range has been significantly reduced, making it too weak to place as a rival.
How about reversing the implementation level of Panzer4 Ausf.F1 and Panzer3 Ausf.J1 and replacing HEAT rounds with Panzer4 Ausf.F1 instead of HE rounds?
I know there are some who think this is unnecessary since the Luftwaffe has Ju-87R-2 and Bf110C-7, but I would like to propose this as an idea.
the shell type is what always bothers me, you ALWAYS get just 2 types which are anti tank and anti infantry shells.
why not be able to research/unlock different shells that were historically used, and be able to carry them in the battle depending on your choice.
(for example, you can equip all types of shells but in low quantity each, or 1/2 shell types in large quantity and so on)
I hope its not to far away, in my opinion a replacement of HE maybe makes the Panzer IV capable of dealing with enemy tanks but therefore loosing all AoE power sucks as well. Just choosing your rounds you want to take with you is far better.
I agree with what has been said above that we definitely need to be able to pick on ammunition loads, or at the very least they need to be more historically accurate, also is noted above for some weird reason we only have two ammunition types on the tanks, and from what I’ve seen so far all you have are basic AP rounds and HE or HEAT, none of the tanks have any smoke rounds that actually used them, there are no APCR rounds, specialty ammunition like APCR for late war German tanks was actually quite rare in the field due to shortages of tungsten, HVAP Rounds for US tanks was actually quite rare as well with an average issue rate of one per tech per month with some units never actually getting any so if these are included in the game they should be only available in limited quantities to the players when they make their ammunition selection, this would of course mean that we should be able to have more than just two types of ammunition on board there might be three or four maybe even five different types of ammunition available.
It would also be nice if we could reload the shell without having to fire it
eh, theres lots of issues with the game and the stuff its missing. id be mad if DF had as many workers as rockstar, and them not being able to do anything competent. but they’re a small company, smaller than gaijin. so imo id take time and let them solve issues one by one. cause the amount of stuff they need to do is bigger than 3 bibles
Honestly I am not so sure here anymore. The Premium Jumbo and the Premium Pabzer IV in Moscow have unique ammo and else they are just reskinned versions of the free tanks.
they never said they don’t want to add more usable ammunition, maybe in the future it may be that the free tanks can choose between different ammunition and the premium ones have special ammunition
