some think tanks are already op some underpowered but these tanks looks cool, also gives options for either customization or variations in the well lots
The T-34-85E is already in the game, I use it in Berlin.
My bad, i missed it but still a good idea
They should make tanks like that gold order tanks.
Would be a lot better. And I would get them for the cosmetics alone.
The Jagdpanzer IV in Berlin also has sand bags and wooden planks added for “psychological” protection from magnetic mines and captured fausts
looks cool
Meh, disagree
latest in anti anti tank fashion
Such armor will not really save you from cumulative projectiles, and from cannons, too…
we might be needing those logs to help with traction and getting bogged…now that slidings in.
Please let the Japanese put sandbags on their tanks for extra protection. They’re so pitiful right now.
In the case of assaulting tanks, the biggest issue is actually the top armor, as explosive packs are your biggest threat. If you could solve that issue (or nerf down explosive packs to where they can disable but not destroy) then it would be a great idea!
This is not going to help, the only thing the sandbags did is put strain on the already overtaxed suspension systems. Their protection was entirely psychological. It certainly offers nothing of value to direct fire weapons, and even more so at the ranges we have in Enlisted.
Then let us hull down and fortify our tanks with earthworks like the Japanese did during the US’s island hopping campaign.
You could do that, but then you’re even more vulnerable to a detpack rush than before. Your only defence vs infantry in this game is mobility, which is why channeling by design and over equipping all infantry units with AT weapons has margnialised AFVs to another “fast weapon swap”.
The game designers are pushing for more arcade effects atm, so I don’t think any of these novelties will add to the survivablity you’re after.
Japanese tanks in particularly are hard to balance vs US tanks because they were so badly outclassed by 1941. Reducing the amount of Inf carried AT weapons, down to more realistic levels will do more to extend your requested lifespan, than trying to code in sandbags and other novelties.
There are already tank revetments on some maps so potentially some further map tweaking might accomplish what you’re after.
