What about better terrain destruction? Tankers need a helping hand

I played alot of tanker in Moscow and Normandy recently, so my team had any kind of chance vs the full equipped enemy players. It always bothered me, how you get stuck on some trees and others you can just normally overrun ( well with some more or less effort, depending on the tank ), but when you get stuck like this in lvl 20 or above lobbys, it gets from annoying to instant cause of death. Seriosly, there are so many tank hunters in the higher level lobbys, if you get stuck anywhere for 30 secounds you get a plane, anti-tank shell, bazooka or anti-tank rifle hit into the engine.

You can´t even shell your way through trees and most obstacles, which you can atleast overrun with enough spee. So you just have to headbutt your tank through everything and get stuck every time or you just totally avoid any obstacle and drive through the most dangerous place for a tank: Open Landscape. No wonder so many tanks just camp outside of the map, which is a tank playstyle i personally avoid greviously, but traversing the terrain on these maps starts to be literally no fun at all.

I had matches, where it was better to just leave your tank after the objective was captured, push as far as possible with your tankers to help the infantry and then just spawn with a new tank on a more forward spawn point at a different location.

I hope the devs can do something about it soon, because i don´t wanna play Pz. 3´s in Moscow anymore, which i only can drive at 1/3 of the map, without blowing up, because i can get stuck on a tree, after i run over the tree beforehand, but this new one, seems to be made out of powerful, shell- and forceproof woodinium.

Suggested many times, so far little progression.
Also one of the reasons why the “flank it” isnt exactly valid option especiatly in some moscow maps and even more in almost every berlin map.

Game ends before you get to “flank”.

Well, you can only flank a tank, when the tank in question would move on the battlefield and wouldn´t camp on the edge of map. In case that he does, then it is as you said, the attempt itself would take a long time, but in the current game state you still wouldn´t even try to do it. You would be in great danger every time you get stuck close to the enemy lines.

Better to just change to Pioneers and hopefully build a good placed anti tank gun.

We should be able to tear down wooden and some weak steel structures with our machineguns and especially shells

i think the problem is people would then want to be able to destroy everything, be honest you see a brick wall and think i should be able to knock that down.

Pretty sure that they would love to do it as we speak.

But highly doubt majority have such PC to handle such stress, let alone consoles.
