It’s frustrating enough it gives me pause, a lot of time I will not even take my tank out, certain maps especially are not at all fun for tanks, that New Tunisia map for example is really bad.
I think this is why I also see tanks spawn in and the crew abandons it on the spawn point and they fight on foot, or players use it get close to action and then abandon it
I second this, I`ve never killed a tank with a mortar! I guess it might be possible if you do get a direct hit and the tank is already critically damaged.
The tank can literally kill any player on the map. They weaken the tanks, but the planes are still almost only vulnerable to themselves.
An invulnerable class that easily kills everything on the battlefield with impunity
It might be a thing only on Tunisa, I have done it several time now, if they are marked and you have a stable range, ie the tank is stationary a few round’s will do it
It may be it’s not by design, and I have only done with the German Mortar
I think the only real issue with tanks is, them sitting back in the grey area where the foot soldier can`t reach them. Personally I would only highlight them for longer. As for the Tunisian campaign, those tanks are a complete joke! It takes you forever to get to the objective, only to be blown up as soon as you do
Personally I find that you can never get two mortars to land in exactly the same spot. Try it in the practice range, they land all over the place, never all in the same spot, even with the steadiest of hands.
I think this is a response to them being so easy to kill, most tankers seam to rush into the point and die almost soon as they arrive there, some of the more risk averse players stay back and wind up dueling with enemy tanks or getting killed by a plane
A13’s and Damler’s I dont know that I killed a Sherman or Grant this way, in either case is ridiculous , even big Bore Arty in WW2 could not typically kill tanks.
And Bombs from planes needed to basically land right next to a Tank to kill it, I read where the number of bombs dropped were in the thousands per tank killed, of course in game it’s very easy to this
I understand the logic behind this change however I feel there still needs to be better counters to aircraft or at least more rewards to fighters that actually shoot down enemy planes and cover their ground units
What pees me of most is, that so many players don`t even bother to mark tanks, or anything else come to that. Maybe we need points earned for marking the enemy, maybe that would sort it out
