Demo Packs are slightly overpowered you can easily kill most tanks, German or Soviet, from the side with demopacks if you stand next to them holding it until it goes off. Sure you die but so does the tank most of the times. Only ones to regularly surive this are PzKpfw III E and IV E and T28.
I would also much rather see demo packs limited to Engineer/AT Squads, if they are not nerfed in terms of dmg output.
I do not have much problem with them when sitting in a tank thx to the indicator, but I kinda feel sorry for people I blow up that way.

Had plenty of games like this. Several times run out of all ammunition and was just driving around and squashing infantry, didn’t got blown up either.
But then on Normandy got blown up on friendly infantry spawn, with a charge. Got blown up in the back by someone who went all the way around the map and could piat from behind our spawn…
Playing it safe just makes you a less appealing target and give less opportunity to a rando with a charge but it doesn’t change the fact that killing tank with explosive pack requires minimal risk, minimal skill with big payoff in xp. No point in manning any AT teams.
Heck, even as tanker, staying alive whole round and killing every tank I can, still sometimes end up with less tank kills than a guy who run as infantry.
Im not sure if we are playing the same game but only way to destroy tank with TNT is to throw it on top of tank and that is not easy at all, especially if the tank is moving.
Not really, it just needs any place with a thinner armor, like belly, sides, or top. The back can set fuel on fire, front might break transmission on some tanks.
Ah nope you can easily kill tanks in the Moscow campagne by just throwing stuff on the sides so long as it explodes next to them. If I find the time I can record a video of it tomorrow.
Most of the tanks in Moscow campaign have thinner armor, compared to Normandy or Berlin. But even on Normandy, side armor is thin enough for the pack to break through, just margins a bit smaller.
No. Most tanks in WW2 were actually abandoned if any shell directly hit and damaged anything and the crew were afraid another was going to hit.
Most tanks we have ingame rn would be about 10k-50k$ not counting modern inflated currency.
Handheld AT weapons are fine. Tanks just need to learn they aren’t actually invincible and should use their brains when moving about.

Well for one explosive packs were the most common way Soviet infantry destroyed German tanks.
However I think the issue are in that, for one the explosive pack doesn’t have enough strength it should destroy a tank if it 4 meters away from it in any direction, it would need to be sitting right on top of it or be directly beneath it to take out the tank.
And the last, main issue I’d say is that every single member of an infantry squad generally has an explosive pack. I mean 2 of them in a squad of 7? Sure. But 7 explosive packs in the squad is very atypical. I realize why they wouldn’t, but I do believe they should limit the amount.
Because while driving a tank generally you kill some infantry dude, then the guy respawns on his squad mate and constantly rushes you throwing his explosive pack until either you die or you wipe out his entire squad.

a tank designed in 1965 (Arjun MBT Mk.1 ) still costs about 7.8 million US per unit… so that 50k theory fuckin blown out the water there mate…
the M1 Abrams 6.21 million US (8.92 with adjusted inflation)
you don’t just buy a fuckin battle tank for less then a sedan man…
Sure it started being designed in 1965, but it wasn’t in production until 2001…
Here’s a list of tanks used in ww2 and their costs. They were expensive, yes, but not in the millions.

-.-’ yeaaa when providing a list of prices its best to get it from someone who knows the difference between a Comma and a Period… the actual table is saying a fuckin tank costs anywhere from $15 dollars to $159 dollars… so idk how much stake i can put in that reddit page…
and sure maybe it wasn’t in production till 2001 but it was till 1996…

its like that in europe, australia and even singapore… its not just exclusive to americans… 
And it still doesn’t change the fact that you’re refuting someones information based off of whether they write one thousand as 1.000 or 1,000
