Tank Destroyers should be available sooner in the unlock tree instead of being so high up

Tank destroyers, at the moment, are both mostly inaccessible and impractical to field.

In the very least, making them available sooner in a campaign gives lower-level players the ability to counter vehicles unlocked very late into the campaigns, preventing them from dominating a match.

In exchange, they won’t have as much infantry-support capabilities, but it at least means that matches won’t devolve into a match where whoever has the highest campaign level vehicles will dominate a match until they get bombed.

This would mean that a lapse in attention from a higher-level player will incapacitate or completely destroy their vehicle. In exchange, they enjoy a competitive weapons platform that can do both AT and AP.

Preferably as a second tank, but not the first.

I disagree, the Semovente is a prime example of being too low down. It is catastrophically overpowered against Daimler and A13s while being adequate against Grants, but almost useless vs Infantry. Denying the Axis from having a capable higher tiered tank.

Moscow could do with a TD because the armor there ramps us really quickly, while berlin, they seem pretty obsolete due to the fausts.

Normandy, I don’t have enough interest in to see what goes on there to be honest.

in berlin they are especially bad because of all the map clutter

It’s almost as if the semovente and grant are introduced too early into the campaign.
It’s almost as if we needed other tanks to fill the gaps first.

I would definitely love to see a Stug III in the Moscow campaign! I feel that in Berlin the TDs are kind of wasted anyway due to the clutter.
