I mainly played Germany, and I love the tanker role grinding all the way until the Tiger II (H). It was good. Once I finished the German tech tree, I decided to grind the USA next.
The first thing I noticed was the ability to use your rifle out of the cupola, which is a lifesaver for killing enemies that are out of the mounted MG’s reach. And the ability to use the binoculars aswell to mow down distant enemies with your MG is not possible. It says, “The design of this vehicle does not allow for personal weapons.” I scratched my head, since you can use both your personal weapon and binoculars on German tanks even with the MG.
“Strange,” I thought. “Must be this tank alone,” I said. Then I switched to the next one on test drive, then the next, then the next… ALL OF THE TANKS ARE THIS WAY. WTF? Not a single one lets me use my personal equipment. That’s a huge disadvantage, since the Germans can utilize those perks. Why can’t the US?
Then I noticed it’s the same for the USSR as well. This is pure BS. I was wondering why I was almost always the one to spot the enemy armor first didn’t know that the enemy couldn’t utilize those perks at all.
Why the hell is it like that???
