I bought Clovis in May sale. Amazing tank. The point is that german teasm at 8.0 br are a disaster. People basecamping after 10 seconds, or going straight just to spawnkill to make a fucking kill after 10 secs (and obvioulsu are eradicated in 10 seconds). You ping them enemies they do not care. They do not mark enemies. just trolls going straight.
Oh german teams are just generally awful. They get cool vehicles but the players are mostly braindead, combine this with the very strong lineups US, russia and france get around this BR and playing germany becomes suffering real fast.
Germany players are just not smart, the tech tree is not that great either
Ground TT is great, you have Tigers, Panthers, PZ IVs, Tiger IIs, and at 8.0 you have Leopard 1, M48’s, Raktenautomat, and the PZH
Not really, until 7.0 it is awesome but after not really. All mbts have gen 1 thermals and no upper front plate armor (except the 2a7). All of them still have a really long reload and a mediocre horizontal drive.
You have no good high tier / top tier light besides the begleitpanzer
CAS is also really thin with no good heli and only the eurofighter as a cas jet
Germany has some gems like the 2k and 2a7 but i would not grind or recommend the tech tree from that
The Leo 1 sucks, the PZH is ok I guess but there are way better SPG’s in the game, the raketenautomat is really situational. 1 35mm spaa and it’s over with you and the M48 is a M48 at the end of the day
I guess you’re right, but I have always played nations that are pitted against Germany in ground, so I may have some bias about Germany
everyone has bias somewhere :p But ye i play a lot against germany and i can’t see the appeal
Individual game results can be nice with German tanks. Panther, Tiger work on some of the map types. Unfortnately German teams generally lack speed and mobility from 4.0ish onwards. You can’t win the cap game with Tigers…enemy team always gets there first and then the game blinks down, while Ger mostly have to camp. Can’t blame them, cause going into cqc-capture-the-point situations gets your Tiger killed quickly by already set up and camping fast movers.
Its always like this:
Allied teams use their ludicrous speed advantage to secure these comfortable early captures, which pre-decide the match. From those early caps they proceed into enemy territoty and set themselves up in power camping and ambush positions. All this while Ger teams are about to exit their spawn area. Then the Tigers move in and get side shoted from all around the wider cap zone area. Its that hopeless that more veteran players don’t even dare to move up to get a cap. I also just go to suitable camping spots to get some kills, instead of rushing into set up M18 and whatnot. Another glaring issue is the CAS situation, these lights which get these easy, uncontested lol captures always spawn a Yak-9K or similar op planes when you manage to take one out. You can set you clock…like 40sec after you killed one of these speeders you get oneshoted by a bomb or Yak-9k lol Aphe.
Btw. Also Leopard 1 is not really a fast vehicles at 8.0. There are much faster moving lights, also more mobile ones. Leopard 1is at an awefull BR spot with alot super fast vehicles and also vs stabilized tanks. Its a lost cause. Only noobs try to play Leo 1 at 8.0.
This is most of the playerbase anyway. Im more surpised at the fact you noticed this now
