Why is the BT7 so slow?

Why is it so slow in game? It cannot exceed speeds of 30km/h? It should be way faster than that atleast 50km/h. In War thunder it is so fast its hard to control, in enlisted its as fast as a panther leaving it quite useless in comparison to the t50

do you really need more speed for small maps that have alot of infantry to help out?

All of the tanks feels like the driver never shift the gears and just drives on first. T-34 on even asphalt can be easily outrun by an infantry!

Now, this game really f’ed up vehicle’s driving mechanism.
Even with full stars’ tanks, it still behave weird at higher speed. Like mismatched gears.

Yea they would. For something like the BT7 atleast. Its a cavalary tank it should be fast and be able to easily flank now its just worse than the T50 and not worth using because it has no speed.

These arent giant maps and i feel like most of the posters here just want to go play war thunder.

Who care about the map size. Having actuall speed is actually good. Flanking PZ4s is necessary. Having extra speed can help the team get to clearing objectives faster, the maps are big enough especially in moscow to allow several flanking routes for ex. fortified district, you can flank as attacker through the left of the forrest and come up behind everything. Now with more speed it should be able to do it faster. BT7 trades armour for speed but in this game we dont have the speed for some reason

the maps are also too closed to take advatage og the speed a lot of the time
this is also one of the reasons why camping tanks are so powerful-fast tanks cant actually flank- the thing they were supposed to do

You can flank basicly on every map. There is plenty of space thats why they should give the BT7 is actuall good speed back.

the problem is that there is often a pz 3/4 camping somewhere behind a bulding th their gray zone- so the only real option is to figth head on- something the soviet tanks kinda struggle at
a less restrictive battle zone would help a lot

and also the maps are so cluttered that you probably wont be able to reach any good speed(again the problem of map restrictions)

All tanks in game are bugged and broken as hell. I personally did much suggestions about fixing these graves. Just waitin

You realize you can easily pen a PZ4 right? How about the T50 that is armored more than a PZ4 but much faster, im sure that should reach its real top speed to then? No balance needed comrades, glory for the motherland

Just wait… Shotguns were broken in May and nothing was done with them.

Asymmetric balance, to be honest, it’s a pity that the game departs from it.

Yes if the russians had only fast light tanks and the germans fat slow armored ones. However we have the T50 that is faster and more armored so they just want every tank battle to be a slug fest

I can only say one thing to that.The Germans apparently had a crappy fantasy back then.But after meeting with the t-34, KV 1 and other wonders of technology, the Germans began to come up with some unimaginable wunderwafly.
With the historical balance, the balance will only be in Berlin.
