there was no timer bug, cope harder.
I would just put standard sherman or 76, thats better equivalent of pz4 than jumbo. In D-day it can sit on spawn and spam he on bunkers. Only thing it fears is planes, but thats standard for everyone. In other situations it can be flanked and killed, but standard sherman would actually be less susceptible to flanking, given its higher speed. So we have tank thata isnt stupidly protected from the front, and also a tank that is better suited to mobile warfare, and with better gun.
At the same time, we can change stuart for something that isnt garbage.
No just no! I like a good challenge, here is Airfield Invasion we won recently.
Allies had a lot of tickets and there was Jumbos as well. I even had a useless flamenwehrer squad that I just wanted to level up in case we get some quests with that.
Enlisted will have new levels for campaign, so we will get new tanks for Normandie. So stop with boring nerfs were all teams will have exactly equal stuff like a generic FPS. This game is made in such way that you can still counter everything. They just need to add more things like better AA guns for all teams. Maybe some betteer AA guns. I think AA tanks would be nice also if you can counter them with panzershrek or something similar for other teams. Some early AA tanks can probably be damaged even with a grenade or greande rifles which would make them more useful

I see it’s long-range preference and lack of being with the troops as a natural response to it’s slowness and turning speed. In general, if your in a jumbo and infantry gets near you period it doesn’t matter if you immediately start backing up or going forward, your going to die within moments even to lightly cooked det-packs.
Plus due to the slow speed your infantry usually runs ahead of you and dies before your even in position to provide support and then you just get rained on with det packs.
Sitting far back and sniping with the 75HE and MGs while capitalizing on the strong frontal armor to defend you from enemy tanks is just about the only way to be successful, especially on the D-Day normandy map (not the new one) where once you take the beach its a steep hilly mess for tanks but you can see damn near clear to the last objective from the beach if your in a tank.
Though I do agree that it makes it can make it nearly impossible on some maps to flank a jumbo enough to pen it properly with a tank or get close enough to det-pack before the out of bounds kill you. It’s a difficult situation, if they allow infantry to close in, then that infantry can also easily spawn camp spawning infantry and with the armor being too strong for the sturmpistol to pen from the front even a stupidly good long-shot with it that hits will yield no results.
I’m trying to think of a way to balance this because with the crappy engine a Shermans main strength IS it’s armor, so nerfing the armor will take it from a tank some consider OP, which I do not, to a slow easy to pick off at range target.
Personally I think on some maps, specifically the original normandy D-Day map, the Sherman does reign largely supreme unless you have a tanker with good luck/good skilled crew or both, but on most maps it has to move around to be useful and in the process, while still being far back it is usually within range to be flanked by tankers willing to put in the time to do it, and it’s helpless to air-bombers like All the time and makes a big fat target being as big as it is with that big 75mm flashing like a flare as they come in to make locating it even easier.
I don’t think anything needs to be done to it, just needs to be accepted that it’s stupidly slow, but beefy, and it’s not meant to be fought head-on by other tanks. It’s meant to be flanked by enemy tanks, air-bombed, or det packed. A player who doesn’t put themselves in a position they can’t run from but is still killing the enemy and disabling their tanks is just playing the tank right. A Puma who doesn’t flank is just not playing the Puma right. As to the other german tanks that go against it, I do occasionally see them kill it with a face-to-face fight but its like 1/4 times at best, and their not that great at flanking though they do drive faster so it can be done.
yup there is so much cringe becouse jumbo meta requires germans to play puma and they dont want it… they want their panzers to be supreme op like jumbo, therefore crying !
Ive been killed countless times by planes , expl packs and pumas flanking slow jumbo!
yea and ppl also forget this is not the final meta and there will be plenty of more tanks , so in next reinforces germans will get panther , and usa will get hellcat… now tell me who is gonna get better tank !
are the next whining posts on the forum please balance the panther !
i mean this is ridiculous and more anoying that “OP” things in the game !
Also people complain how Tank destroyers are useless and worse than previus tanks yet they all fail to notice that Su85 and JagdIV are 6 star tanks and T34, Panther are 5 star tanks !

they could also just use the pz4 and shoot MG hull but that requires players to think
