In Stalingrad specifically, tanks just sit in their spawn and hit the objective, shellshocking the area to no end. With so much rubble in the map you can’t just build a cannon with an engineer so to my knowledge there is no counter to this and makes the match annoying as hell. Honestly wish they would do away with shellshock altogether
I don’t play in Stalingrad, but this game is a nightmare for tanks as it is. None of the maps at least in Moscow, are designed for actual tank warfare. It’s a jungle of potholes and obstacles, from houses to traps, and plethora of impassible equipment.
Add to this that almost every kid in the game now spams 12 men infantry squads to exploit the game’s broken “OBJECTIVE” points, and you get a very very unrealistic game. Though I do not stay at spawn because it rarely reaches objectives which I need to defend, I do not fault players for doing it either on my squards or enemies. I fault the DEVS for not designing better maps or better “objective” purpose.
And finally, watching people spam AT guns like there is no tomorrow out of thin air is far more absurd than any base spawn camping. Yet less people complain. I understand, most prefer arcade first person shooter style warfare so good tankers really freaking ruin their lives. And now in another feat of silliness they increased the damage of AT guns which makes the game even further away from realism or historical accuracy.
At the end, remember it’s just a game. It’s not made to be realistic no matter how much they claim that it is. And base camping is certainly not “IT” card to win a match. So hopefully that helps.
I play AXIS in Moscow. So my opinion is based on my experiences there. I primarily play as tanker.
