EPTStill, this doesn't address the balance that certain tanks are more advantageous than others. I know the SU-14 is picked because it's the best arty available in the game so far, Tier 6 with the ability to arm a T8 weapon. A-20s are better than Leopards/M5 Stuarts because of its 72 top speed. T29s are better than the IS-3/Tiger II because of the armor. Of course, with balance changes and time, I hope to see more diversity in tank selections.

The medium tanks offer nothing for the battle, since the mobility doesn't compensate for the damage/ armor provided by the Heavy tanks. Good heavy tanks should be able to gun down medium tanks due to the recent patch of no more warping in. TDs are not useful because of the lack of mobility in competitive play.

While a20's can do 72, its actually surprisingly easy to kill them since the recent patch. With my is3, i eat t29's pretty easy (its fully elite'ed) I don't see many balance issues, because it all comes down to team play.No 1 tank can beat every other tank when the other tanks are played correctly. | ||

remember that NONE of the current tech trees are final for instance, the E-series are still missing in the german one, and that's only for the heavies. There will be A LOT more tanks for each nation, so don't complain about the t7 lights yet, I doubt they'll even be introduced before the final release ... full soviet tree full german tree (beware of the Lowe and the E100 <3 ) full american tree edit 2 : E-100 at the bottom (it's a projection of course as the prototype was never finished, but it looks sweet) | ||

The game clearly favors people who grind heavy tanks over any other class. Oh yea, it's a huge campfest too since you can hide behind a bush for 100% invisibility. This gives the defender multiple free shots which completely negates any incentive to not camp. But I keep playing because I love ww2 tanks. | ||

Honestly, they need to boost the amount of credits for T8/9/10 for defeats, bleeding credits with premium kinda sucks when some of the matches are just retarded. | ||

The stupid thing is so slow.... Also, is there a point in it until you get the new gun? | ||

Heh Stick with it, cuz the hetzer is matche with the heavy stuff and you'll just get oneshot every game. Literally. I always aim for the hetzers first instead of heavier stuff cuz they're so cute and I love killing them. <3 A lot of people actually do the same lol So yeah ... Keep the Marder :D | ||

Anything Tier4-5 will be placed in matches with multiple Tier 9 heavies. It just kills the fun when you can't do shit in a battle of juggernauts. I've definitely never going to move to the hetzer. Unless you have a Tier 7+ heavy tank yourself, it's waaaaay more fun to play with Tier2-3 stuff due to matchmaking. | ||

I have played this game not even knowing that you can customize your tanks with upgrades, though most are tank specific. I don't really like spending credits on consumables, seems like a waste, unless someone can offer a good reason on why to buy them. @Snipinpanda I haven't got the SU-14 yet, but I know that it moves really slow until you get the suspension upgrade, even then it won't improve much. Also, the weapon upgrade is dubbed the "Ion Cannon" for a good reason. But tyr, Hetzers gotta Hetz! | ||

(I say that every time I kill one lol) Also, consumables are kinda nice actually. I always have repair kit and medpack on my heavies. If my ammo rack is destroyed or my loader is dead and I actually need them because I'm in a tense combat situation, I use it. Saved me more than once. When you have a 6rof gun you drop to like 3 or 4 without ammo rack or loader, and you REALLY need your normal fire rate in some situations. | ||
