Ah, the myth of “infantry support”.
In the immortal words if Nicolas Moran AKA The Chieftain: “Infantry support includes destroying other tanks.”
Not sure why you didn’t read that initially since that’s the post you replied to.
You seem to think all tank designers are dumb.
They’d look exactly like they do now.
M4 Sherman wasn’t the peak of urban tank as you imply.
For some myth, for some actual army doctrines…
Tanks in urban environment are last resort, not something desirable.
How come ?
Tanks were not designed to fight in urban environment and their strengths are severely diminished if doing so.
To quickly review design of contemporary tanks… Armor is suitable to protect only form the frontal arc, while city fighting requires all around protection.
Roof armor is usually very thin and tanks are vulnerable from attacks from elevated positions.
Main guns does not have sufficient elevation to target elevated positions.
Tank can’t use their mobility in urban environments, and are prone to ambushes, IEDs, etc.
With limited visibility might not even spot incoming thread.
Urban environment is Hell of Tank combat.
You are making lot of assumptions based on nothing…
The like ratio from OPs post to _Zekkens shows that this is a lie.
Real life doctrine is irrelevant; virtually all the reasons tanks avoid urban engagements do not exist in WT.
Doesnt make the small maps enjoyable.
Nope, it’s just a vocal minority as always.
no it is relevant because the people that make tanks do it in such way so they can work in the said doctrine. if the doctrine was to put tanks in urban environments why dont they have stronger rear armor or roof armor etc
if the doctrine is long range support it’s gonna have mostly frontal armor and better turret armor and if you take the tank made for long range doctrine and put it in urban environments it’s not gonna do as good
If you cope any harder you might black out boy.
Alright, I guess I’ll have to be more specific. Infantry does not exist in WT. Anti-tank weapons (mines, rockets, AT guns, manually placed charges, etc) do not exist in WT. Urban infrastructure not being built to support tanks (you will not fall into sewers/basements/etc) does not exist in WT. And so on.
If you look on Reddit (more casual players than here), you will see that many do not enjoy larger maps, and they have their own reasons for that.
I suspect that the players who aren’t here or there prefer smaller maps due to the quicker and often more balanced gameplay. No one enjoys sniping for an entire match, because Gaijins map design encourages camping.
did you read my post? its about WHAT task tanks were made to do and in WHICH environments
im sure you realize that doctrine does not solely consist of only infantry
I wish there were more big maps where you can play tactically instead of the 500th city map that only rewards those with really good sound systems or cheat software
False, most of the polls created show small trash urban maps as most hated or disliked, example American Desert or the removed White rock fortress.
Maybe you interest in spread lies is because you are arcade player and you want the entire game become in the idoitc brother of wot with stupid small maps and battles of 2 minutes.
they still do. It turns into an uncontrollable shitshow and leaves tanks voulnerable to being ambushed and shot in their weak points.
Strategies don’t really work with tanks in cities.
The newer city maps actually make me yearn for shite rock fortress. That map was actually fun at lower BRs
Did those polls include a large portion of players not on the forums?
Small maps are better because Gaijin can’t design good large maps. Players will prefer smaller maps because of that, just look on Reddit and you will see many players who prefer them.
Since big version of Maginot Gaijin just use this base for create map LOL
To be fair… Sun City is also just Dubai/US city design. But yes, I really don’t like these maps
I’m not seeing any specific similarities beyond “is a city”.
I’d love to see the classic floor-mat-city as a map though, it’d make a great April Fools map at least; it definitely needs to have the “simple” and “bright colours” aesthetic too.
And really, this sort of insult-based, patting-oneself-on-the-back snark is worthless.
See, anyone can do that. And it contributes nothing of value.
From Hundred to thousands of votes, this is very old discussion.
Small maps are good for arcade and low BRs (4.0 or 5.0 max)
A small group of players.
I just look reddit and i ve seen exactly the opposite a lot fo people boring of the same trash flat small urban map.
