An idea i had for heavier tanks

heavier tank squad should take up both vehicle spawns if one decide to use them. so you can have either 1 jumbo or 2 shermans, but not a jumbo and a sherman nor 2 jumbos active at the same time, the same could be done for t-28 and pz4E in moscow and the eventual IS-2 and KTP in berlin

Sounds like a fantastic idea

Id honestly like to see something along the lines of: You get say 5 heavy tanks per match. 8 mediums, and 10 light tanks across. Do the same for aircraft. do maybe 4 bombers per match, 6 fighters.
Now in no way do i mean those to actually be the numbers used, just trying to paint a picture.

hard capped vehicles I’d be fine with too. Although you know some shitter is just gonna rotate through them and suicide with them anyway.

fair enough, yeah. I can see people who bought prem vehicles bitching non stop as well about not being able to use them.

Tanks have a huge impact on the game since we’re only fighting at a platoon/company level magnitude

i’m aware of that and heavy tanks like KTs, jumbos and is-2s being on the more rare side of the tanks produce with only around 250 jumbos being produced, 489 for KT’s and the is-2 was one of the most produced heavy tanks of the factions we have in game with 3,800 being built though it still didn’t make up a large amount of tanks which is held by t-34’s

Both of those tanks are medium tanks (in gaijins language so not really).

Only heavy class tanks should be “counted” this way or that will mean one Pz 4H= two Pz 4Js etc…

You fucking genius

i know which is why i would excluded the H on that list and have panther use that slot if we ever get that on normandy

sounds good to me :raised_hand:

This would be good for planes also. Bigger then 50kg bombs= 2 slots taken…

Only thing im not sure is those moscow tanks. I i remember right pz4 can be penned by soviet 45mm. Also if t-28 takes 2 slots would it just encourage to use t-50?

I don’t know, 2 Sherman’s are far superior to anything a jumbo can throw out… just need to catch it at a slight angle to put a 75mm shell right into its track and ammo.

Like I mean, the jumbo ain’t no tiger II

Also we’d have the issue of possibly 1 person using a jumbo the entire game taking up the tank slot for everyone else. (I would honestly rather fight 2 jumbos then have that…)

i agree,

i say remains 2 tank slots, but only 1 heavy active at any one point, you cannot have 2 heavies at the same time.

limiting the unbalanced toy to 1 per team doesn’t really solve the problem

i would honestly prefer proper balancing of tanks and AT weapons over more limitations

same goes for planes

The main issue I see with OP’s suggestion is that free players only have 1 vehicles slot. That should be taken into consideration.
