Gunner sight, bushes also block sights like in Sim, no hit markers, no markers for planes
No leave sim as sim and grb as grb
Sim is dead and GRB is way too arcady.

Can’t argue that.
They should make sim more playable.

Yeah, by not having copy paste vehicles on both sides for starters.
Last time I played Sim was like 2017 and I hesitated because there was an M26 coming from the side and there was an M26 on my team, that brief moment of hesitation got me killed and he then went on to wipe half my team and we lost the game, never played it again.

That is the reason I wont play SIM .I have done the same in GRB as copy paste vehicle with blue name above on Sweden map killed me.The blue name was an allied tank behind him a few blocks away.Just bullshit 😒

Worst thing is they made a half assed attempt at resolving this by plastering decals on Italian tanks, which are easily covered up by other decals or whatever anyways, but now whenever you play Italy you have forced random decals on your tank you can’t remove and they don’t look good.

The armor should also not give them invincibility, nor should it let them rush in without care. Most heavies have pretty damn good firepower for their BRs- the ones that dont, like the Jumbo '75 should have more relative resistance frontally for their BRs, and a few that are very dependant on their armor with no firepower to speak of should have that frontal invincibility.
The main issue with heavy tanks at the moment isnt the go-karts, or even the artillery, its how armor works in general. A heavy tank can absolutely stomp in a downtier and do very well, but it suffers in an uptier.
Light tanks in contrast are uptier-resistent, and you can do fairly decent in them even if its a full uptier. The issue is, of course, that they dont have nearly the increase in effectiveness in a downtier.
AB experiences this exact thing and its horrible- LTs are practically unviable there except for a few.
That is because the tier system doesn’t really work.Maybe it did 12 years ago when the game had a handful of samey tanks and maybe it does to a degree at low tiers but get higher and it folds.I would say around 6.7 BR where WW2 runs out of steam and Cold war gets thrown in.
That is where most of the complaints come in.This where you armour becomes really redundant and you will not bounce shots in the same way you might have done in the previous BRs.
That is where people suddenly wake up and go WTF? Some people who like WW2 or grind and play slowly will play more games before noticing that BR is failing.If they live in WW2 BRs then they may notice minor detail changes in WW2 levels before those who raced to top tier will.
Despite what others claim we do still have what are primarily WW2 levels.It is therefore not that surprising that some want those WW2 levels to be cut off as the game play is different. Mixing the eras is like mixing oil and water to them.It’s game play now as well as immersion.
That can be why some have issues that other players don’t see.
It means that the light tank can actually do something to survive, though. For most light tanks the heavy can just MG them frontally.
No, that shouldn’t be the case, and it already is most of the time since most light tanks can be killed with MGs.
I don’t get why people bring up mobility so much, there is no light tank in game that moves so fast that any other tank’s turret cannot keep up.
Everything should be frontally vulnerable to normal cannon calibers (so not something like a 20mm). Weakspots should exist, and barrel breaking should exist.
EXACTLY!
I was thinking just this thing the other week. It would fix a lot of stuff. It would frustrate people and there’d be another learning curve, but it would be for the better.
Mate, you joking or serious? There traverse speed is still a thing at top tier where we can move fast as heck. If I can push you and get in where I need before you can turn fast enough, and I keep my speed… you’re not getting your barrel around to me before I reload. It DEFINITELY is a viable strategy the slower the traverse speeds are, AKA lower tiers.

It would suck for new players, and for the first month or so, but it would be better in the long run.
True. The amount of times I have been killed by XM800Ts and Foxes recently just proves that. I can’t get my gun on them before they get to my back or side.

Moving while repairing is honestly the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard of.
You’ve been on the forum too long to be making statements like that all willy nilly, it’s not even top 10

Most other stuff is just people cope, what ArmChair said was just straight up stupid.
Checklist for mobility actually mattering:
- Get to where you need to, which is highly situational and virtually luck-based.
- Keep your speed, which is also highly situational and dependent on having lots of area to move around (this does not exist in urban maps, and for longer-range maps your mobility will be worsened the farther away you are).
The only reason mobility matters at all is for starting ambushes, which (outside of the very beginning of the match) any tank can do. If there was a situation where a tank is legitimately so fast that a non-light tank’s turret traverse cannot keep up, then mobility would matter.
Unless the light tank you’re in is an autocannon, I doubt there are tanks at top tier that can’t turn even 180 degrees in 4-5 seconds.
And the lower in rank you get, the slower the light tanks get as well (and the worse the armament, too).
It’s not as stupid as the idea that people just just auto-win for clicking on a barrel.

Being able to break a barrel head on makes perfect sense, though. It makes 0 sense that a barrel wouldn’t be destroyed from a shell hitting it head on.

Having to accommodate for parallax to make such a shot also makes perfect sense. Something that doesn’t make sense is “no armor is best armor” because it’s trivial for anyone to exploit any grapefruit sized weakspot in the armor that your tank made such sacrifices to have. Even if the armor is flawless, one click on the barrel and there is nothing that an opponent can do but pray a third party saves them.
