I came to conclusion that enlisted playerbase is the worst on tank playing.
Small maps dont help either
Everybody using their tanks like riding a horse at jousting tournament.
Then got blown up instantly by some explosive packs.
Espc those stuart drivers in normandy. God i cant count how many of them i blew up anymore

Or how many of them I can kill with about a one second burst from my aircraft guns, it’s just comically easy to kill them at the moment

The explosion packs may be unrealistic but when Moscow gets KV-2 you will thank god you have them.
They recently added the PZ.IV F2 to Moscow which makes no sense but wont do shit to KV-1.
They should add the 8.8 CM flak truck from warthunder imo
Which campaign?
The Pacific, and Tunisia
But I’ve read that the 30 mm in some of the other campaigns are equally as deadly, I don’t play Normandy or Berlin unless I have to for the daily challenge, in fact I’ve never actually played Berlin because it’s never on the challenge, I haven’t had much luck trying with Moscow yet, but I play the Pacific and Tunisia frequently.
I really dislike the coaxial over heating, it over heats way to fast and takes to long to cooldown

Yeah it’s neutering gone too far, it’s actually quicker to shoot infantry with the main gun most of the time Than to use the machine gun, because by the time you walk the machine gun onto the target the damn thing is overheated.
It’s completely unrealistic it’s probably a gameplay feature, they want them to not be able to shoot very much because they’re concerned you’re gonna kill too many infantry I mean that’s the only possible explanation I can think of for the way they have them Modeled at the moment

I play Moscow Stalingrad and Berlin Alies so ive never destroyed tanks with planes
A fair while after the major update dropped 30mm Mk108s could destroy allied tanks with small bursts. After a few patches recently mk108s now struggle to rip tanks apart. But its still doable.
kinda typical, make things fun then nerf the fuck out of them
I agree the F2 should not be in Moscow I’ve complained about it on numerous occasions. However I can assure you that the long 75mm Kwk 40 L/43 is plenty capable of handling KV heavies
A good clean pen through the upper glacis plate, best place to hit is the drivers viewport, normally takes the whole tank down 1 shell
Multiple pens, 2 in each turret cheek aswell as in the lower glacis. These are also viable points to fire at however typically miss the ammunition rack and only kill crew, ergo they may get the chance to fire back
Even the Panzer IIIs 50mm KwK 39 L/60 can still pen the KVs, although just needs to hit the weakpoints a bit more accurately
t50 and t34 op

The T50 used to be so good that the PZ_II And PZ.III could not kill it period.
I used to sit side by side with PZ.IIs destroying each others teams i even got a 357 kill game as seen here
Yes and no, compared to some of the vehicles they come up against, primarily the Panzer II C yes. However they are not as powerful as people make them out to be. Having the experience and knowing how to beat them makes an enormous difference when facing them in the field. Even the early model Panzer IIIs with the 37mm can destroy the high level Soviet armor if done precisely (although this is very difficult to do). All this said the Soviet guns typically have an easier time destroying German tanks but German armor in Moscow rewards players who know their stuff.
In fairness though I don’t deny the powercreep present with powerful vehicles like the T34s in Moscow most players don’t have that experience I mentioned to make the less powerful equipment viable
As a tankologist from BFEWAW forgotten hope BF2, yeah its buggy, not perfect but a great work in progress. I hope the devs can bang out the dents before polishing. I find too much jitter in the sights.
Imo devs should change their name from tank to exp piniata. It better indicates their role on the battlefield.

Ugh those T-60, T-70 and even the D-5T T-34 drivers are some of the worst drivers like every other starter tank as its obvious that more experienced tankers use better tanks.
This is how many tanks I destroyed on all campaigns
If we break this down I destroyed as of now:
2024 tanks in Moscow
1960 in Normandy
2925 in Berlin
Almost 900 in Tunisia
342 in Stalingrad
332 in Pacific
While my kills in a tank:
Where I have 34k kills in just Berlin alone.
Its baffling that so many people suck in tanks on this game like I could easily snipe the best tanker award than anyone who spent much longer in the tank than I do because had to fight over a tank slot.
