it can cause some autocannons to struggle, and it also does certainly increase general protection, but the weight is just far too much to actually be better
that ERA has definitely seen a lot use against CAS though, its saved me a good number of times
This is great news that its at least being looked at, it seems like a logical choice as it is both historically accurate and would also benefit the vehicles in terms of balance.
They are mobile bunkers. Its why I really want the dozer blade, so you can entrench and become the land equivalent of a beached battleship used for coastal defence
It would also be interesting if they properly modeled the earth moved by the dozer blade, because when you use it, it moves the earth in front of you and creates a depression as you advance, instead of moving forward kicking up earth, reversing, and then moving forward again kicking up more earth, but leaving the ground smooth where you pass. It would also be good if tanks with large blades could create cover simply by advancing, thus putting more and more earth in front of them.
With the recent realisation and subsequent report that the OES and TES dont even have the shells used as the ready rack in-game. It shows just how silly the ready rack situation truly is
I won’t be an armchair dev and say it’s easy but it would go a long way to improve the vehicle for something that is already semi-complete in game with the CUP variant.
