I gave you a list of counters and you reply that there are no counters.

You sir, have no sense.

I play World of Tanks, it is a great game. Thanks for being concerned about my gaming habits.

That depends on fit. Someone who fits their tank just for fighting infantry and then running will be good at that, but absolutely horrible at fighting a tank.

Similarly, you never see the anti tank tanker, because he doesn't have weapons that are effective against you.

I am not saying that things are fine, but stating that all AV is invalid is an overreach in my opinion. Swarms will need some adjusting, the PLC needs a buff, and the forge needs more time to see where it is at. Grenades are fine toned down as they are, because nuclear baseballs are bad for gameplay.

I think more regular AV players need to get themselves an LAV with a Nitrous. You won't be too worried about speeding tanks escaping. Then you will have entered into the anti vehicle tankers wheelhouse, and you will see what the anti infantry tankers have to deal with. It is not pretty. My Gunny can one shot most LAV's provided I get both damage mods activated. So you better be aware of your surroundings before you start driving around all carefree.

CCP did make a post saying they are checking to see if WP for vehicle damage can be hot fixed in, if not they are trying to get it in for 1.8. So at least you guys will get points for driving tanks off, instead of being forced to chase them down.

I run German tanks in WoT. I try to stick to tanks that actually had a combat record, so my current favs are my Ferdinand and my Tiger II. 30k XP away from the Jagdtiger and E-75 though. Got two three skill crews ready to go. I won't go tier X on the German tree except for the Leopard. Was playing with it on the test server, and it may be soft, but damn it moves and that gun! Oh lord what a gun on that tank.

All my high tier crews have Preventative Maintenance and Safe Stowage trained. You don't get too far past tier 4 of the German tanks without learning to fear the fire.

Thankfully the weak lower glacis is shared across all the German tanks, so protecting it becomes second nature. I know that the tier X guns can just cut right through that 250mm of casement armor, so I might just buy a Jagdtiger 8.8 to warm up with so I only have to face tier 9s for a little while while I get the crew ready for the Jagdtiger.

The armor on the Leopard might as well not be there, but it is a nice change from the counter sniping German meds, which can get a little boring after a days play.

I love the idea of module damage, but I don't see how you could make it balanced in a game where the defense systems are so wildly different. It would require some lore think about what type of system the Caldari tanks actually shield with, and how they would react to penetrations.

If something like that were to come into play, I would say that only rails(and forges) should be doing those types of damage. Swarms and AV nades shouldn't pack enough of a punch to detrack something that big.

If you could track tanks though, that would really put a boot in the whole, but they get away argument. Just bring a forge and track the sucker, then move in and finish him off.
